Dallas, Texas — HousingWire is proud to announce the 2025 class of Insiders, recognizing 80 operational leaders who are driving innovation, execution, and results behind the scenes across the housing industry. Now in its 10th year, the Insiders award honors the individuals whose strategic thinking and operational excellence keep the housing ecosystem moving forward.
This year’s honorees span every part of housing — from mortgage lending and servicing to real estate, fintech, and beyond. Known for their problem-solving mindset and relentless focus on execution, these professionals are the ones their organizations count on to manage complex initiatives, deliver results, and move the business forward.
“We are proud to recognize the 2025 HousingWire Insiders — the operational leaders whose leadership, dedication, and innovation power the housing industry from within,” said HousingWire Editor in Chief Sarah Wheeler. “For a decade, this award has celebrated the people who may not always be in the spotlight but who are absolutely essential to their organizations’ success.”
The 2025 honorees were selected by HousingWire’s editorial team based on the significance of their contributions, their leadership in execution, and their overall impact on their companies and the industry.
