The HW Vanguard awards program recognizes housing and mortgage finance professionals whose leadership is moving markets forward, each and every day.

Savage is a household name in the mortgage industry who has developed a reputation as a passionate advocate for connecting borrowers with mortgage strategies that help them achieve their financial and homeownership dreams. As the founder and CEO of Mortgage Coach, Savage launched a first-of-its-kind technology that empowers lenders to educate borrowers about their financing options with interactive presentations that compare loan performance over time. An inspiring speaker and prolific content creator, Savage has amassed a dedicated online following and influenced the business philosophies of tens of thousands of loan officers and mortgage executives.

“Dave has had an indelible impact on the borrowers he’s worked with personally, the ones he’s reached through his technology and mentorship, and on the mortgage industry as a whole.
