Good luck in your two categories!
Way to go Melanie & Rob! This site is such an amazing resource. I do hope you win!
Congratulations on the nomination although I think they may have overlooked you for the category of best Internet presence.
Best of luck.
It looks like you are nominated for three awards this year. You have earned them. CMT is the first stop after pouring my corn flakes each morning. All the best – John
Congratulations Melanie!

Hi Robert and Melanie!
I would just like to say thank you and good luck. Mortgage Trends has taught my wife and I so much about mortgages that we never knew. We are so grateful that we found it.

You all do one heck of a job. The site is light on sales but heavy on information. It seems like a lot of other mortgage sites are all about getting you to fill out their application.
Hi Everyone, We really appreciate the support. A big big thank you!!
Melanie & Rob
