Brokers had a chance to ring the bell
Sarah DeCiantis, UWM’s chief marketing officer, told MPA of her own trip to Wall Street to ring the closing bell when the company went public in 2021, noting UWM has observed the day set aside to honor mortgage brokers for the past three years.
There were some 2,000 submissions to join UWM’s CEO, Mat Ishbia, and other executives on the trading floor last week, DeCiantis said in a previous interview. From there, judges had to whittle down the submissions to the best 100. Submissions were real-life stories that illustrated the impact brokers have on clients.
“They’ve submitted these phenomenal stories on how they’ve impacted borrowers’ lives,” DeCiantis said. “It’s really a representation of not only recognizing them for what they do but also the impact that makes on their borrowers and on the American Dream.”
For Belisle, it was a double honor – being chosen to travel to Wall Street with colleagues, but also having secured the honor by helping a fellow veteran.
