"The Mortgage Professional’s Handbook offers an exceptional look into what defined the industry over the past decade and will shape its future. It is an entertaining and thoroughly informative read for all industry participants and those wanting to know more about mortgage banking."
Kristin Ankeny Bickenbach, Vice President, Secondary Marketing, New American Funding
"The Mortgage Professional's Handbook is an extraordinary resource; anyone serious about understanding this industry, especially in the wake of the changes in recent years, needs to have all three volumes on their bookshelf."
Christine E. Rawan, Chief Operating Officer, Drew Mortgage Associates, Inc.
"The dream of owning a home will always be part of the fabric of our country, and mortgages are the vehicle to fulfill that dream. These books are essential for the mortgage lenders and community bankers of today and tomorrow, and will provide the keys to fulfilling the dream of future home-ownership in our country."
Simone Lagomarsino, CEO, Heritage Oaks Bank
"I'd like to thank the mortgage industry for your amazing support of the four charities receiving the proceeds from the sale of The Mortgage Professional's Handbook. An outstanding educational resource that provides hope to those suffering from ALS, help to families with seriously ill children, and a hand up to homeless youth--it doesn't get any better than that!"
--Michelle Overstreet, Executive Director, MYHouse
