Many know me as the owner of Symphony Mortgage Company.  I was in Van Nuys, California for many years.  Most who know me also know that I have been doing loans for 20 years.  Some also know that I'm a drummer and that my passsion is music.  A few years ago I had the occasion to meet a Realtor from Hemet, California.  John Occhi and I met through a mutual relationship with an online realty service.  After 4 years of working with John and others in Hemet, I moved in.  That is to say that I have moved down to Hemet.  It's a beautiful community and the change is awesome.  

The question I'm asked most is where is Hemet and finally why Hemet.  Well the answer is simple.  Business in Hemet is awesome.  I also felt that the community really benefits from local service companies.  In Los Angeles I was used to constantly using email, fax, delivery and telephone to transact entire deals.  I'm sure that my LA business will still be done that way.  Down here though, I look forward to having the time and closeness to meet my customers first hand.

I've not posted in awhile.  The loan business and the chaos it has created on a business and personal level has been a challenge.  However I am back and in a big way.  Security National is a great company.  We specialize in FHA.  We are a direct lender and we are not a bank!  Like all there have been challenges with determining The Government's role in our business and the ever changing underwriting guidelines that cost time and effort.  However, the market has picked up and the lenders, including us, have stabalized rules and guidelines.  For now we are enjoying speedy underwriting times and great rates.  

With John Occhi's help I was able to secure a nice home here and was introduced to a great bunch of people at a network lunch organization. They are responsible for my growth and even my son's.  He owns a video production company called Another Happy Ending Productions and he's found that Hemet has been welcoming to him too.  So when my friends say Hemet, Hemet?  I say come on down and check us out.  There's a lot to do and you won't be ignored like you are in the big city.
