Why I'm in the Mortgage Business....

Since this is a new blog, I considered that it might be beneficial to a reader to have some idea of why a person would become a loan officer in the business of home financing and enjoy it! I was introduced to this business in 1992 when I was in need...in need of a job and income. I realized my college diploma had gathered a lot of dust after rearing four children and being a stay-at-home mom for 20+ years. I was now on my own. Someone invited me to go to work for them in home financing (truly Divine intervention!), appealing to my people skills and widespread network ( a term not particularly in use then). I took the challenge. I am inclined toward "self-teaching" and jumped right into a business I knew little about, even though I had been involved in buying and selling numerous homes in the Metroplex. I was forced to acquire information and "how to" in a hurry and exponentially. I've stayed with it, and have made wonderful colleagues and friends through the years. Why have I stayed in this business? I truly enjoy people, and I love the problem solving aspect of home lending. That's it in a nutshell. Next blog will be: "You, too, can own a home!"
