LOS ANGELES (EWORLDWIRE) Aug 9, 2005
In 2001, Rick Caselli found himself unemployed after five years in software sales. While he and his wife were expecting their first child, a family member recommended taking a class to become a loan officer. "Going into it, I didn't know anything," said Caselli.
Four years later, Caselli, 32, is the top producer in his mortgage company with about 40 employees. He said he was able to build his successful career off the solid foundation of Loan Officer School.
"Loan Officer School provides the building blocks," said Caselli. "The job is about listening to people and communicating."
Caselli attended Loan Officer School's two-day beginning course, which now is being offered in more places nationwide. Upcoming locations include Los Angeles, Boston, San Francisco, Atlanta, Denver, Chicago, Tampa, Newark, San Diego, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Orange County, Calif., Honolulu, Minneapolis, Seattle, Reston, Sacramento, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Ventura and Jacksonville.
The school was started by David Reinholtz, a mortgage broker with more than 17 years experience in closing thousands of loans. Since its start, hundreds of graduates have to gone on to become the top-producing employees in their companies.
The results are positive because Loan Officer School teaches its students to close more loans through excellent service. The class takes a nuts-and-bolts approach to understanding the basics of the profession, which Reinholtz says many untrained loan officers skip over.
"The competition sucks," he says. "There are a lot of options out there. Loan officers that express confidence and sell service separate themselves from the rest."
Caselli agrees, and looking back, he attributes his success to having confidence. "The class arms you with product knowledge," he says. "It has empowered me to have confidence."
Loan Officer School students graduate with a sense of confidence becuase they know the product well. Loan Officer School walks students through basics such as loan applications, credit reports and rate sheets. Experienced instructors build on that knowledge encouraging students to sell a mortgage as a service not a product.
Loan Officer School gives the step-by-step process to:
-Increase purchase money transactions by sourcing buyers and sellers.
-Teaching students to market themselves effectively to realtors and investors.
-Think more like a financial planner than a rate seller.
-Internalize the benefits of financed real estate.
-Learn to use a financial calculator more effectively.
-Turn prospects into loyal referral partners.
-Institute a value-added program that will make a borrower think twice to get a loan from anyone else.
The class is only the beginning. Loan Officer School offers job placement assistance and free continuing education so students can start their careers and make money immediately. Loan Officer School has connections with hundreds of mortgage companies, including national and local mortgage brokers nationwide.
Graduates, like Caselli, say the benefits of a career in loans make it the best-kept secret. "I'll do nothing else," he says. "The class has paid for itself 1,000 percent over."
The financial benefits of becoming a loan officer are unparalleled in a career without an advanced degree. Caselli's success is proof. "A six-figure income is definitely attainable," he says.
