Editorial Reviews

Review

“Now, finally, we have a practical guide to help people get started in mortgage lending. David Reed's latest book, Your Successful Career as a Mortgage Broker, is not only the one common-sense book every mortgage loan officer should have on their desk, it also contains important information for borrowers....Reed, a Texas mortgage lender and a contributing columnist with Realty Times, has a long history of helping consumers....AMACOM, Reed's publisher, is also the long-time publisher of Your Successful Real Estate Career by Kenneth W. Edwards. The Edwards' guide is by far the best introduction to real estate brokerage for prospective agents and brokers. Now AMACOM has also published Your Successful Career as a Mortgage Broker and obviously has another long-term winner on its hands.”

-Realty Times



"... The one common-sense book every mortgage loan officer should have on their desk... Another long-term winner."

-Realty Times



“In an age where borrowers can choose to have all or none of their income or assets verified to secure a mortgage, Mr. Reed does an excellent job describing the process and alternatives for new and potential mortgage bankers and brokers.”

--The Midwest Book Review



“..comprehensive look at how to become a mortgage originator, which route to take to success and what it takes to get there.” – MortageDaily.com

4.0 out of 5 stars Well written and very informative, August 28, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Your Successful Career as a Mortgage Broker (Paperback)
I was really pleased with this book! I've just recently gotten started as a loan originator and I found this book to be really well written with tons of information without getting boring. Obviously loans aren't the most exciting topic out there, but the author throws some humor and real-life stories that keep you interested and entertained. He goes into a lot of depth on the process that you will go through with your clients. There are examples of all the forms (disclosures, 1003, etc) and at the end of the book there are a few mini chapters written by other mortgage brokers that give some interesting tips on how to create more business and run a more efficient operation. All in all, this was a really good book and I would recommend it to anyone getting started in the business!

If you've ever thought about becoming a mortgage loan officer, then this is the book for you. It provides details on extactly what's involved, how you make money, and the all-important mortgage lingo. I wish I had this book when I was recruiting people to join my company. It gives them a head start on what the biz is all about.
