We're glad to have you, George! A few things . . . your profile says you're a banker, but you say you're an agent. Are you both? Please be sure to update your profile with a photo as it will allow you to show up in out networking directory.
Otherwise, how long have you guys been in the business? How's the market in Raleigh?

Hola Josh, thanx for the welcome.
Yep, I saw that the dual job thing might puzzle folks...so I'm making things a little more clear. I'm a mortgage loan officer and my husband is a real estate agent
What do you think of my swimming companion?

I've been in the biz since 1994, hubby since 2001.
I made the top 100 originators in the entire USA in 2007, (Mortgage Market Guide magazine)
Biz here in Raleigh was tough. But there's a re-fi boom underway.....gathering steam too.
Life is what you make it, it's all between the ears anyhow!
You have a great site. Good job!

It was taken at Anthony's Key resort on Roatan, Honduras. If you enjoy scuba, it's a cool place to visit. Great people & great service. The dolphins can stay or leave as they please.....but they stay because they get treated well, fed and have "great company" daily. ha ha

Hi Alex, Yep, that's me on the news channel Sat mornings...maybe you've met my hubby at the local TREIA...he's the tall Scottish dude with the hat!
Alex, we should talk...our model is absolutely made for a guy in your position....you can close loans for yourself, using our loan coordinators it's a no brainer for the originators...& also build a team of folks originating loans which you make a small part of the revenue on. See it & you'll be amazed.
Ever done a webinar?
