Two weeks ago, the mortgage market lost both my employer, Carteret Mortgage and Homecomings Financial. Between the two mortgage companies, nearly 1500 more mortgage jobs are gone.

Carteret Mortgage grew to be the second largest mortgage brokerage in the US and at one time had nearly 2,000 loan officers. I had been there since 2002 and was a branch manager and a recruiter. It was a great ride while it lasted. I did make an extrordinary number of good friends while I was there however. It is really sad to watch a company go from closing 4 billion in mortgages in 2005 to bankrupt in 2008.

But, as they say, "When one door closes, another one will open"

I have accepted a position with TMC Lending as their Senior Branch Manager and will also be their National Recruiter

TMC Lending is an "out of the box" lender/broker licensed in all 50 states. Depending on an individuals level of experience and interest, we offer loan officers positions from a senior branch manager position to a part time position if you simply need a home for a loan from time to time.

One area in the company I want to develop are with the part time loan officer relationships. It is clear to me that there are many loan officers who have been forced to find other work and these positions will allow an individual with experience an opportunity to keep producing while not having to deal with quotas.

One of the things that I believe sets us apart from most others in the industry is that we have a very real focus on training for our loan officers and their Realtor partners. As you know, in this market, Mortgage Lending and Real Estate have never been more of a "knowledge business" than they are today. Our Mentorship Program and webinar based training will give you and your Realtor partners the tools you need to prosper and grow your business to the next level.

You may also want to know that TMC Lending is offering our loan officers the ability to create multiple streams of income with a very useful and affordable credit repair program and a loss mitigation/loan modification program that will beat any other product I have seen in the marketplace.

If you have an interest, in growing your business with us, I will need a copy of your resume and a good time to chat by phone for a few minutes.
