Mortgage Brokers Association Celebrate Professionals at Breakfast

As senior director of the New York-based Eastern Consolidated, Jonathan Aghravi works closely with clients to optimize their capital solutions. Prior to joining Eastern Consolidated in late 2013, he served as a principal at Hybrid Capital, also in New York. Outside of his office, Jonathan Aghravi belongs to several organizations, including the Young Mortgage Brokers Association (YMBA).

Established in 1967, the YMBA helps young real estate professionals excel in the finance and real estate industries. Its members include appraisers, mortgage brokers, bankers, and environmental consultants. The YMBA also helps bridge the gap between senior and emerging executives within the industry.

To facilitate networking, the YMBA hosts several events throughout the year. On January 23, 2014, the YMBA held a breakfast with keynote speaker Michael Stern of JDS Development Group. Held at Herrick Feinstein in New York City, the breakfast celebrated Mortgage Observer's list of top 20 mortgage professionals under the age of 35. Mortgage Observer is a publication dedicated to the real estate market. Dennis Russo of Herrick Feinstein moderated the breakfast.
