Why I Love My Job

By
Mortgage and Lending with Columbia Bank

 

Casey Brischle Mortgage Loan Officer

I have always enjoyed helping people.  From childhood through college I have participated and led many retreats and organizations designed to help individuals, families, and even companies from all walks of life.  After graduating with a marketing and finance degree from Gonzaga I took a job with a startup technology company in town.  Although I enjoyed developing it into one of the leaders in its industry within a short period of time, I was unfulfilled.  I knew for my next profession that I wanted it to be a long lasting fulfilling career, so I turned inward and asked myself what I really liked.  Three things popped up.  People. Numbers. Helping people...and here I am today. :)  I have found being a Mortgage Loan Officer satisfies all three of these wants and I am totally fulfilled.  Why do I love this job so much?

•·I love to see the excitement on my client's faces when they find out they can afford the home of their dreams. 

•·When I take the time to educate my clients on their loan I love to see the "light" come as they fully grasp what goes into financing their home. 

•·I love communicating with clients through every step of the process.

•·I love helping them with credit issues and removing them from junk mail lists.

•·I love to be upfront, honest and fair and expect the same in return. 

•·I love getting my clients the best deal possible and beating my competition. 

•· I love going the extra mile to help a client any way I can.

Why do I love all this you may ask?  There are three answers to this.  I love people, I love numbers, but most importantly I love helping people.  What better way to do that then to help attain the American Dream and buy a home.

Hi Casey,
Loving what you do is so very important and it sure does make it easier to get up and go to work every day, doesn't it?

My best days are not when I help others -- which I relish, anyway.  Helping others, in this business, should come as second nature, since this is what we do.  Even our processors consider their work 'helping', because there is usually customer contact involved.  It's the poor underwriters who have no real contact with the outside world [/;)] that cause us all the problems we face daily.  And, in actual fact, it is at the underwriters' desks where the blame should lie for most of the current credit fiasco -- sure, they all have their guidelines to live by, but they have a hand in passing approval, not matter whether it's DU/LP or not.

 

My best days are when the phone rings and I speak with a former applicant that walked away for whatever reason...rate, better fees, whatever...saying they didn't get what they were 'promised' and would I please help to take care of their purchase/refinance today.  When I finish that call, I smile -- I maybe call my wife -- and then I go back to prospecting, since I'm on fire with helping folks!

 

Great post!  Thanks!
