This year\u2019s event highlights how the mortgage landscape is evolving, with new categories like &#8216;Finfluencer of the Year&#8217; and &#8216;Mortgage Tech Innovator of the Year&#8217; taking center stage. <\/p>\n<p>The awards process, which runs through a rigorous five-stage selection, now features a diverse judging panel including local experts like Lisa Patel and Tom Lebour.
