Scott Sealey Ranks In Scotsman Guide

At Insignia Mortgage, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service and expertise in every transaction—and that commitment is exemplified by our own Scott Sealey. Insignia Mortgage has ranked on Scotsman Guide’s Top Originators list for the past decade, and we’re so pleased to celebrate Scott’s inaugural success this 2025 as a Top Mortgage Broker.

With over 30 years of experience in the mortgage industry, Scott has built a reputation for solving even the most complex loan scenarios. His journey began in 1992 as a loan officer at Great Western Bank, and since then, he has remained dedicated to helping clients—regardless of the size or scope of the loan.

In 2024, Scott’s consistent performance and client-first approach earned him recognition in the Scotsman Guide, where he was honored for closing over $30 million in loans. It’s a testament to his deep industry knowledge, strategic thinking, and, most importantly, his ability to communicate clearly with clients, referral partners, and investors alike.

Scott’s success reflects the values we uphold at Insignia Mortgage: personalized service, expert guidance, and a relentless drive to deliver results. We’re proud to have him on our team and look forward to seeing what he accomplishes next.

“My career started in 1990. For seven or eight years, I worked as a broker, then went into banking and worked for big banks and a few smaller banks,” Nourafchan said. “Over this time, my strategy has always been to go after jumbo loans … and continually build my business on higher dollar amounts.”

Mortgage Professional America Magazine Features Damon Germanides

Insignia Mortgage co-founder, Damon Germanides, was featured in the editorial article “From slinging hash to serving up the dream of homeownership” in Mortgage Professional America (MPA) Magazine. The article, written by Tony Cantu, shares how Germanides moved from the family restaurant business to be a successful mortgage broker in a niche space. In particular, the article highlights Insignia Mortgage’s unique business model as ”lean and mean” and how the team consistently ranks on the Scotsman Guide’s list of Top Originators. 

Despite the lean-and-mean model, his volume is far from shabby – $311 million across 140 units in 2021 and $285 million over 104 units last year. That performance has helped him secure the 27th ranking nationally among brokers. And he’s not alone in being nationally ranked, either: “I’m very proud of our little company,” he said. “We have four of the top 25 brokers in the country who work for this office.”
