When people think about buying a home, they often assume the first step is contacting a real estate agent. In reality, it’s their mortgage professional who works with them from start to finish. September is designated as National Mortgage Professionals Month to recognize these hardworking professionals who help turn people’s dreams of home ownership into reality.
“All of our employees are dedicated to serving our members, but our mortgage professionals play a major role in what is often the biggest and most stressful investment our members make during their lifetimes—the purchase of a home,” said President and CEO of Freedom Credit Union, Glenn Welch.
