What the Industry is Saying
“Fairly new, I took the class to gain an overview as a processor. Six weeks later, my loan officer was hospitalized and I needed to cover both jobs. I could not have done it without the knowledge gained from this class. Eighty-five percent of the questions asked by borrowers I could answer, and if not, I knew where to go for the information. Thanks, Dave “
