CP Jihad Request - Award nomination

[MillerTime GFG]

Hey ladies & gents,

We (our company SmartCap) were recently nominated for the Canadian Mortgage Awards for the category of "Best Newcomer, Mortgage Broker Firm", and could really use your help. It really is humbling to be even nominated, and now we'd love to get into the top 3 finalists!

I assume most have seen my thread in the power ring that I am a mortgage broker, as I have been running that thread for a couple years now. I have taken big steps back since MME has come on board, and am fine with that.

It's important to note that I am a Flames fan first, and a participating member in this forum much more outside my power ring thread than I am in. I finally became a member of CP in 2010 after lurking all the way back to the '04 run I think it was.

The process takes less than 5 minutes, and here's how you can help:
1. Click the following link: http://kmiawards.ca/index.php/nominate?award_id=37
2. Enter your contact info (FYI - I highly doubt you will be contacted for any reason, as this is not an organization that sells anything)
3. Enter SmartCap's founders' info as follows:

Bryan Baker
Mortgage Broker
SmartCap Mortgage Professionals
587-350-0496
bryanbaker@mysmartcap.com

4. Reason for nomination: May need to get a little creative here, as I haven't provided all of you with mortgage services obviously. (Provided great info via social media, got you a great interest rate, taught a great mortgage strategy, helped you through process of home buying/being a first time buyer, answered your questions thoroughly, etc.)

I would love if you guys could help! Mods - if this is not OK, please feel free to delete.

Voting closes on February 12th. Thanks!!

Seems Jihad may have been a tad ambitious, as I know that word isn't taken lightly around here. Mods - can you change the title by dropping "Jihad"?

Any votes would help however, and it would be truly appreciated. It would be a huge achievement for us and could help springboard us to get to where we want to be.

Hey, was filling this out and it says it needs your email address.

And Jihad is fine, however, I would prefer to stick to the CP kind...

Shoot, thanks for pointing that out! I added it to the OP, but it's bryanbaker@mysmartcap.com

Thanks Rathji! What's the 'CP kind' of Jihad though?

Oh, ya...those were the ones I was referring to. I thought you meant something else.

Bump.

Thanks to those that have voted already. Really appreciate it.

Voting closes on the 12th!

Figured I'd bump this, as we (SmartCap) actually were just announced as the winners for "Best Newcomer Brokerage" last night at the Canadian Mortgage Awards (CMAs).

We were honoured just by being recognized initially by our brokerage, but to then be nominated Nationally, and then to WIN? Unreal, and very humbling. Cliche? Yes, but it's the absolute truth.

Warm thanks to everyone here that voted for us, I really appreciate it. Here's a link to our Regional Manager accepting the award on our behalf, as neither Bryan or myself were able to make it out to Toronto due to prior engagements: (Hopefully the link is public and works.)

I'll also upload the video we made for our award, which should be pretty funny and slightly embarrassing.

Thanks again CP!!
