Mortgagebrokers.com continues to grow, posting its 10th consecutive
comparative record quarter highlighted by its best ever quarter
revenue of $5.42 MM. TORONTO, Nov. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
MortgageBrokers.com Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: MBKR, the "Company"),
one of North America's fastest growing new mortgage broker brands
and mortgage consolidation companies, announced record financial
results for the third quarter of 2008. The Company recorded gross
revenues of $5,420,443 for the 3rd quarter of 2008 which is an

performance also represents a sequential quarterly increase of 25%
over the second quarter 2008 ($5.4 million vs. $4.0 million). While
