The esteemed women selected for MReport’s Leading Ladies list

beyond contributions to the mortgage and housing industries. These

55 women all have the following in common: They are smart, driven,

and innovative trailblazers who have caught the attention of not just

their respective companies but the industry as a whole. While they

may work in a variety of positions in different sectors of the industry,

the common thread tying these women together is that they have all

dedicated their careers to bettering the future of the mortgage and

housing industries. Whether it’s technology, government regulation,

or other challenges yet to come, these women are eager to help

tackle the trials the industry will face in the years to come. We’ll be

rooting for them every step of the way.
