Big Move to Wells Fargo!

You could say that I "grew up" at Washington Mutual. I started as a bank teller back in 2003 just out of high school. Over five years I climbed the corporate ladder and found myself in their Home Loans department doing mostly refinances in their banking branches. I learned the ropes in lending and then soon realized that it doesn't pay to be with a company that may be a bit shaky. No speculation here - just my personal perception. I looked around and saw that Wells Fargo seemed to have their act together and made the strategic move. The only thing is that NOW I don't sit in the bank branch and get fed bank customer referrals - I have to go out and get those leads and customers myself!

Thus begins my journey to market myself to realtors, FSBOs, local business professionals, and whomever else will lend me their ear.

I'm excited about it because I have been studying marketing and public relations and have read enough about customer service and giving value - enough to know what works and what doesn't work. I have ideas and plans on how to make it and what to do to build relationships with the key people that matter.

Watch and see the what happens! Advice, comments, and opinions are appreciated!

I've had really good service from Wells Fargo loan officers. In fact, the mortgage on my own residence is with Wells Fargo. Congratulations on your move!
