Back to the “new-old” path with Sunstreet Mortgage, LLC

Back to the “new-old” path with Sunstreet Mortgage, LLC”

I’d like to share some very exciting news with you. As you know, I have spent the last five years of my life in the Real Estate Industry.

Over the last couple of months I realized that I needed to make a change. Now, I find myself changing direction and following a new, and by the same token old, career path.

Ten years ago, working as a Loan Officer with Lund Mortgage, I had more hair, but only a little experience in the lending field.

Back then I had a tough going and most likely it had something to do that back at that time it was all about taking applications for refinances, and it was not too important to comprehend the needs of real estate agents and brokers. So I became one.

Over the years as a REALTOR; friends, family and acquaintances have asked for my mortgage-opinion advice regarding financing a home and as a REALTOR I have always loved working to help people achieve their goal of home ownership. I always seemed to find the time to help out when ever possible, but never really could be directly involved in the lending process.

To be honest, it drove me nuts not to have a hand in the lending aspect of the real estate transactions I helped facilitate.

Now, I am bald, have some more experience and certainly a better understanding of what agents (and consumers alike) need in a mortgage-partner.

Considering the mortgage industry and lender licensing in these turbulent times, the amount of lenders has significantly shrunk. This is my opportunity to get back to my old, now new again, path to help consumers achieve the goal of home-ownership.

Times are different from when I began my original quest. More regulations, procedures and paperwork are now in the mix, as well as the mortgage loan officer license. I view this as a new and exciting challenge and opportunity.

As of January 14th 2010 I am a loan officer originator with Sunstreet Mortgage, LLC – and trust me, I did not make that decision lightly. You probably haven’t heard about Sunstreet Mortgage, LLC in the Phoenix Metropolitan Market yet, but that will soon change with the new branch opening. I will tell you more about the branch and the company later…

Now that the cat is officially out of the bag this blog will transform and I will try to post more regularly.
