"The vendors, lenders and servicers selected as this year's finalists all aspire to enhance mortgage finance through the use of technology," said Austin Kilgore, managing editor of Mortgage Technology magazine. "Recognizing their efforts is what makes the Mortgage Technology Awards the premier mark of distinction for technological excellence in the mortgage industry."
