As of today, I am stepping away from the retail side of mortgage lending my friends and taking on a new challenge which I am very excited about. I am joining forces with a wholesale lender and coming on board as one of their AE.
I've always enjoyed the B2B world more than I did retail anyways so it makes sense for me to do what I enjoy doing most.
I'll tell you what though, I have learned so much in the last 5 years as a retail loan officer that the experience I gained will only make me a better AE. I don't have to pretend to know what LOs' challenges are, I know them first hand so returning phone calls and giving reliable quotes and pre-approval are on top of my priority list. There will be NO "yeah I can do this" if I'm not sure whether I can or cannot do the deal. If I don't know, I'm not afraid to say:"I don't know but let me find out the answer for you so I don't waste neither yours or your borrower's precious time."
Anyways, I just wanted to make the proper announcement. Wish me hard work that will pay off

And of course I will still contribute to this forum.
