4 out of 5 stars Success as a Mortgage Broker   March 13, 2007
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I read this book in search of supporting material for my training program. I own and operate a Mortgage Broker company. This is a nice compilation of material that explains the incredibly diverse role of the Mortgage Broker.

I recommend this book for anyone considering life as a Mortgage Broker or who may be off to a slow start.



2 out of 5 stars If you're serious, there are better starter publications.....   December 12, 2006

The book does not present a thorough "idiots" view of the mortgage broker business or career. Most parts of the book are thin with information and some parts approach useable information. Most uninitiated people who read this book will come away with a small sense of the mortgage business and will be discouraged. Any book on any subject should spark further interest and encourage the reader, not discourage him. My recommendation is to get "The Mortgage Originator Success Kit," by Darrin Seppinni. It is well presented, thorough, and will take the reader to the next level. All the best to you.

I recently picked this book up to see if the mortgage industry was for me. After reading the book, I know that it's definitely for me. This book was extremely informative and I feel fairly prepared to get a job in the industry. I know that there is still much to learn about becoming a mortgage broker, but this book is definitely a start.

I would highly recommend it for anyone who is thinking about entering into this industry.

This is great orientation to mortgage brokering, loan officering, or simply the mortgage business. Well written!


5 out of 5 stars Success in the increasingly complicated business of everyday life   June 12, 2006

Like me, you may find this book extremely helpful even if you're not considering a career as a mortgage broker. Here's why. I have a mortgage, I just refinanced my mortgage, and I'm sure someday I'll buy a new house and need another mortgage. This book explains in clear and easy-to-understand language the "terms" your real estate agent, mortgage broker, or banker use when presenting financing options to you. Think Economics 101 crossed with a primer on banking and personal finance. Everything from "What's in a credit report" to "Who the heck is Freddie Mac" is discussed and explained. There are lots of extras in this book for the average reader. There's an "Interest and Style" personality test in Chapter 4 that I found spot on and fun to take. There's even a chapter on PDAs, cell phones, and a great explanation on just what a "Bluetooth" is and why I should look for that feature on my next laptop. And if I ever decide to start a small business, this book is packed with helpful hints and information about developing a business plan, time management, and marketing. Add this book to your library; it will assist you in being successful in the increasingly complicated business of everyday life.
