My New Blog

I've been in the mortgage industry for just short of 3 years and finally purchasing a home of my own!  I thought I would share my personal experience with those of you that are joining me in "my blog" section!!!

I have always felt a sense of unmatchable satisfaction whenever I help my clients get into a home.  Throughout the whole process, I work extremely hard and treat each deal as if it were my own.  Well, now I get to test that theory and share it with you!

I am in the process of purchasing a home and, of course, I am doing my own loan!  It's ironic, I would think that I would pay much more attention to details when it came to my own loan (this is my first home loan that I'm handling myself)...in reality, I find that I am pushing my loan aside to get my clients loans handled and closed!  Don't get me wrong, everyday, I start working on what I need to do to push my own loan along but I start thinking about my clients loans and stop whatever it is that I'm supposed to do on my own home loan!  There are a lot of steps and details involved in the process of loan processing from the original point of contact all the way to the funding of the loan......I've had to have "stopped" the process of my own loan probably (and this is a guess) about 17 to 25 times in the past 2 weeks!  To make matters worse, the builder has moved up the closing of my house! 

It's strange, although there is an excitement involved in obtaining a new home for myself, it in no way matches the excitement (and sense of urgency) that I get when I'm closing on my clients' home loans.  I guess it may have to do with the notion that there are families out there counting on me to move them into the next phase of their lives.  I take that very seriously and do everything I can to make that transition a smooth and quick one. 

Don't get me wrong, I will be extremely happy when I have moved onto that next phase of my life......but the feeling is not as intense and profound as the one I have when I am congratulating my clients on the closing of their home......strange, I know. 

Hello all!!!  I am new to the web and, of course, to blogging.  So bear with me as I learn the ropes and become an "expert" of the wide, wide, web!  LOL!

According to many mortgage trainers and industry experts, my blogs should contain INVALUABLE words of wisdom concerning "the mortgage world" but I think I will do a combination of advice on what may concern most borrowers, my opinion on latest trends and a little bit about everyday "happenings" in the life of a mortgage professional (that would be me!).  I think the latter is very important because I'd like to highlight the fact that I, too, am a real person, living in our sometimes-too-real world, facing many challenges like everyone else! 

My main goal in helping people find the right loan for their home is to become a trusted advisor and, ideally, making friends and confidantes along the way!  Nothing is as fulfilling as helping people (my neighbors and friends) find the perfect loan to further obtain their dream in owning a home and making it as easy as possible!

So, if you're reading along with my blogs, I hope you not only find them educational and informational but also entertaining!  As always, please feel free to call me at any time to discuss any of my blogs!!!
