Wholesale Access released its “Mortgage Brokers 2006” survey results last week, and Scotsman Guide once again came out at the top among mortgage-industry publications.
Exactly 72 percent of respondents said they read Scotsman Guide on a regular basis, more than any other industry publication. This number increased from 65.4 percent in Wholesale Access’ “Mortgage Brokers 2004” survey. Further, 88.4 percent of brokers indicated that they use Scotsman Guide to find wholesale lenders, nearly double the 2004 percentage.
