I’ve been in the mortgage industry since August 2013, and over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with the largest retail lender in the nation for almost a decade. During my time there, I earned the highest loan officer rank and took part in Leadership 101, which really helped me dive deep into the mortgage lending process and understand it inside and out. After my time in retail, I shifted to the broker side of things, where I learned the ins and outs of origination, processing, underwriting, closing, and funding through investor purchasing.
