Housing affordability First-time home buyers Business growth strategies

Emily Douglas is an executive editor at Mortgage Introducer, bringing more than a decade of business journalism experience to her coverage of the mortgage and housing market. Her reporting for MI spans the issues that matter most to mortgage professionals — from housing affordability and the real barriers facing first-time buyers, to the human and financial toll of natural disasters like the LA wildfires on homeowners and the broader mortgage market, to the business growth strategies that are helping brokers and originators build sustainable careers.

A graduate of University College London and the University of Geneva, Emily has written for global business publications since 2015, developing a sharp editorial instinct for the stories that resonate with senior industry professionals. Her background in workplace strategy, mental health, and people management gives her a distinctive lens on the human side of the mortgage industry — from broker burnout and seasonal stress in the profession, to the personal journeys that bring unconventional talent into the origination business.
