We Rounded Up The Top Mortgage Professionals In Northeast Ohio

HOW WE DID IT: DataJoe Inc., a Colorado-based research and publishing company, conducted exhaustive research using a combination of public data and industry surveys to create this list of Top Mortgage Professionals. DataJoe started with information obtained from a primary government source, and then expanded on this information using the survey and an internet research campaign. DataJoe’s proprietary scoring algorithm factored in peer nominations, experience and an internet perception score based on web sites, rating services and social media. Professionals do not and cannot pay to be included as a Top Mortgage Professional. There are many fine mortgage professionals who are not included in this list. It is intended as a sampling of the quality work done in the industry in Northeast Ohio. For more information, contact topmortgagepros@clevelandmagazine.com. 

Disclaimer: DataJoe and Cleveland Magazine have used their best efforts in assembling material for this list, but do not warrant that the information contained herein is complete or accurate, and do not assume, and hereby disclaims, any liability to any person for any loss or damage caused by errors or omissions herein whether such errors or omissions result from negligence, accident or any other cause.
