The definition found for the words "mortgage originator" on Investopedia.com read ...
"An institution or individual that works with a borrower to complete a mortgage transaction".
A rather brief description for a profession that demands and requires much from an individual, if performed well and correctly.
Being a mortgage originator myself, and having been in the mortgage business for over 35 years ... I believe I have come to have my own definition of what a good "mortgage originator" truly is. The words ... educated, licensed, intelligent, patient, personable, good communicator, integrity, caring and many many more come to mind.
During my years in this business, I've been lucky enough to meet the rare person fitting that description. I've been lucky enough to work alongside and in tandem with a few of them as well. I've referred those individualsbusiness and they have referred to me, as it has come along. Business found in each other's region or business we thought more suitable to each other's expertise.
One such mortgage originator is Paul McFadden of The Legacy Group in Bellevue, WA.
I was lucky enough to meet and get to know Paul McFadden through ActiveRain.com, the online real estate community. Since we met about 5 years ago, Paul and I have talked and written back and forth many many times. We've shared thoughts, information, opinions, both from a business and personal perspective.
We've come to know each other well ... and depend on each other. We've referred business back and forth. We've become friends. And I can tell you ... they don't come any better.
In my book, all the definitions I share above should come with a picture of Paul McFadden next to it. He is the epitome of what a good mortgage originator should be. And I'll add, I don't know many that are more kind and generous with their time and talents. These days it's rare to find a man that fits the old-fashioned concept of "gentleman". But Paul McFadden does.
Anyone in the Bellevue, WA area in need of mortgage financing advice or service would be wise to search Paul McFadden of The Legacy Group out. He will deliver wise counsel and great service, all while acting as your strong advocate. You could do no better in the Bellevue/King County region of WA ...
