So, every so often I put a shout out for some great lenders.  This past week, I met with 6 branches from Missouri to Northern Wisconsin, to Indiana and Ohio.  My real passion though is in Illinois.  I've received some committments from some awesome folks this past week.  Working with some huge lenders who have lost their touch with their bread and butter. 

BUT I WANT MORE!

I WANT SOME GREAT LENDERS IN ILLINOIS!!!!

As for Cherry Creek Mortgage, it's a company that's "dialed down."

1)  First the culture IN CHERRY CREEK MORTGAGE COMPANY is the best BAR NONE!!!!!  Our culture is such that people don't leave our company.  We're a privately held company.  Needless to say, we're owned by a few great leaders, but the biggest thing is that all of our senior executives were...

VERY SUCCESSFUL ORIGINATORS WHO UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF ORIGNATORS

AND HOW TO BRING VALUE TO REALTORS AND CONSUMERS!

It's great to have a company that "Get's it!"  I love the fact that they have a platform that invests into "building up the business of their realtor partners."  I have referred a lot of contracts to my realtor partners.  My clients refer a lot of folks to me as well.  It's great to have the investment back to the lender, and the originator.  It's great to work for a company that values the realtor and values the client.

If you're interested in finding out more....give me a holler.  Let's get to know each other better.

So why this post?  No other reason than the fact that I need other great people.  I want super people in Illinois!  I'm picky, snobby and discriminatory when it comes to who we let in our culture.  It's kind of like the Hotel California...you can check in, but you can never leave.  Needless to say, it takes a while for some people to make the move.  I really don't care.  I'm looking for a relationship....someone I can run with.  Someone I can hang with.  Someone I can teach.  Someone who can teach me and make me a better person.  I really am excited about the prospects of growing in Illinois!  If you're interested in starting a relationship, please call me or e-mail me at lbettag@ccmclending.com or yell. 

EVEN IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE GREAT....

who I need to be talking to, I'd be forever grateful for any great referrals so that I may have the ability to know other truly great people within our industry.
