Michael Muller finished this year with an astonishing 150 deals closed, a truly remarkable number for a mortgage broker in the industry.

Since his first year with Eastern Union, Shaya Acker- man has always been a top producer, closing loans of all property types, with a unique talent towards structuring larger, more complex deals. Shaya closed 59 transactions in 2012, including: $47,494,000 in financing for the acquisition of the West- bourne apartment complex, a five-building portfolio of multifamily properties on a full city block along West 137th Street between Broadway and Riverside Drive Avenue in Manhattan. Nate Hyman is the most active broker in the NJ office on a transactional basis, with an amazing 60 deals closed in 2012. He is also the youngest top producer in the firm. Nate knows where to maintain his focus. He doesn’t take on every deal, but any deal he takes on he gets it to the closing.
