I started my mortgage journey as an assistant in 2015 and in 2018, I took the leap and became a Mortgage Loan Officer. When I began my transition into mortgage lending I was told there was this "difficult" license that you needed to obtain prior to actually becoming a lender. Once I took the leap I studied, and studied and yes studied, to make sure I passed the test. (By the way only about 25% pass it the first time). I attribute this to not only learning and understanding the material, but knowing the right way to study. We all learn differently and it's my job to personalize and customize that to a student! I have taught classes for various people and age groups. There is nothing more exciting than seeing a student pass their class and become licensed and watch them grow and learn.
