A strong lending partnership comes down to product, speed, flexibility, and clear communication, and all of that reflects the leadership behind it. That’s the standard Inman used when naming Max Slyusarchuk, CEO of AD Mortgage, a Best of Finance Award winner for the second year in a row. 

The 2026 honoree list includes top mortgage and finance professionals selected by Inman’s editorial team. These people have earned trust in the industry and raised the standard for what good lending looks like. 

Independent Recognition 

The Best of Finance list is compiled by Inman’s editors independently, based on industry track record. Two consecutive appearances reflect a consistent approach to leadership and a clear sense of what mortgage loan originators need. 

Driven by Max’s vision, AD Mortgage developed Non-QM AUSSelf-Disclosure, and Appraisal Center. These tools have turned underwriting decisions, disclosures, and appraisals into managed workflows. That translates into faster closings and fewer surprises making AD Mortgage a lender of choice for thousands of brokers. 

More Measurable Results 

The mission of AD Mortgage is to expand access to home financing through products that work for a broader range of borrowers. Inman’s recognition reflects that this work has a measurable impact. For broker partners, that impact shows up in practice: 

  • A full-spectrum product range – Conventional, FHA, VANon-QMDSCR, and Bank Statement loans, covering borrowers who don’t fit the standard mold. 
  • 9,000+ broker partners supported by dedicated Account Executives and the ADwise AI Assistant for guidelines and pricing. 
  • ADvantage loyalty program –  9,000 enrolled partners earn rewards redeemable for appraisal credits, lock extensions, and underwriting fee waivers. 

‘The mortgage industry grows when lenders and brokers succeed together. We listen to our partners, lead with purpose, and transform their feedback into solutions that help them grow. I’m grateful to everyone who has placed their trust in AD Mortgage. Together, we’re helping move the industry forward,’
– Max Slyusarchuk, CEO and Founder of AD Mortgage. 

Looking Ahead 

Max’s second consecutive Inman recognition comes at a moment when AD Mortgage is expanding on multiple fronts, including broader program access and a growing partners network. 

If your business runs on responsible and accessible lending, AD Mortgage works toward the same goal. We support partners with the products and infrastructure to close more deals for more borrowers.
