A peak industry association has honored the country’s top mortgage professional.

The National Association of Mortgage Professionals has awarded the Mortgage Professional of the Year at the group’s National Conference in Las Vegas. The award, sponsored by Urban Financial of America, was given to Fred Kreger, branch manager of American Family Funding in Santa Clarita, Calif.

Finalists were chosen irrespective of region, based on criteria such as their proficiency as a mortgage professional, profile within the industry, a high level of expertise, participation in local, state and national associations and involvement in their local community.

Kreger, who serves on the board of directors for NAMB, said the award was “an incredible honor.”

“I have learned that the amount of success I have received means you have to give back to the community, and that’s what makes it worthwhile,” Kreger said.
