I’m speaking at Mortgage Tech Summit next week!
February 4, 2012 by Leave a Comment
At last year’s Mortgage Tech Summit, I presented a session on my “talking” good faith estimates and rate quotes. This is something that I do for my clients to help review their personal mortgage scenario.
On February 9 and 10, I’ll be in Scottsdale at MTS to share how I am able to work with clients I really enjoy from my blogging and other social media efforts. I’m often contacted by mortgage originators across the country wanting my advice on social media – here’s your chance to learn from some of the folks I consider the best in our industry. I’m honored to be one of the speakers in this line-up and can’t wait to attend the other sessions.
If you’re a mortgage or real estate professional, I encourage you to check out this event.
And of course, I will be checking my email and voice mail on breaks while I’m away.
Mortgage Master Service Corporation receives Outstanding Lender Award
October 28, 2011 by Leave a Comment
I’m very proud of my employer, Mortgage Master Service Corporation, the Porter family and my co-workers for being recognized last night at the Washington Association of Mortgage Professionals (WAMP) 2011 Leadership Awards for Outstanding Lender (retail mortgage company).
Mortgage Master Service Corporation was established in 1976 by the Porter family (my in-laws) and it was such an honor to be there with Marilyn Porter, President of Mortgage Master, and my sister-in-law, to receive the award.
I’m honored to be one of four finalist for Outstanding Mortgage Originator in Washington State by WAMP.
Congrats to all the nominees and those who took home awards last night. It was a fun evening made extra special by enjoying it with my sister, Nicole Christy, Frank Garay and Brian Stevens, Anny Havland as just few of the fine folks at our table. And it was nice to so many old friends after being in the industry for 25 years.

Seattle Real Estate Bar Camp and Seattle Unchained is this week!
February 9, 2009 by Leave a Comment
If you’re not in the real estate or mortgage industry, this post might be a big *yawn* 
for you. My apologies! However, if you are a real estate agent or mortgage originator, you should consider checking out these events (if there’s still room).
The big daddy is Real Estate Bar Camp which takes place this Friday beginning at 9:00 a.m. in downtown Seattle. I’m actually leading a break-out session with Brian Brady for fellow mortgage professionals and I’ll be involved (learning or teaching) other events throughout the day. If you are going to RE Bar Camp, be sure to visit the web site and chime in what you would like to learn or teach soon.
Come a day early on Thursday afternoon and you’ll catch Seattle Unchained. I’ll be involved on a panel with fellow bloggers at this event.
Zillow was kind to provide space at their headquarters in downtown Seattle at 999 – 3rd Avenue, Floor 41 for both events.
I’m really looking forward to sharpening my tools at these (un)seminars. I’ll be returning emails and phones over the weekend.
