Sandra Neider was my direct report for 2 years (2017 - 2018). She also reported to me previously in another location for about a year. Sandra completes very thorough and detailed reviews of each mortgage loan file assigned to her. Her focus on consistently high-quality submissions to underwriting results in faster loan closes, high customer satisfaction, and excellent performance review metrics in many areas. In addition, she reliably manages her own pipeline of both purchase and refinance mortgage loan applications from assignment through ready for closing. She always focuses on the borrowers first to ensure their loan closes on time. Her performance ratings speak for themselves:

  • In 2017, Sandra's year-end Net Loyalty score exceeded company expectations of 75%+. Additionally, her year-end Close on Time score met the company's high expectations at 93.2%.
  • In 2018, Sandra's year-end Net Loyalty rating again exceeded company expectation of 75%; her average was 78%. In addition, she met company expectations in Quality Loan Submissions and ended the year at 92% in overall file quality.

  • Since 2012, I have honored my parents' legacy by donating to Youth Music Monterey. My parents, long-time San Francisco Bay Area residents and San Francisco Symphony subscribers for 25 years, moved to Monterey Peninsula in the mid-90s. My stepmom became president of the Youth Music Monterey Angel Network, where she passionately supported music education. After her passing and later my father’s in 2011, I decided to continue their legacy by donating their San Francisco Symphony tickets to Youth Music Monterey.

    Each year, I donate a package of Symphony tickets for students to experience world-class performances, ensuring the continuation of music education in the community. My siblings supported the idea, though my husband and I manage this project and budget. Our budget We fund this project year after year on our income. Now this might have to change due to my lack of employment .

    What is the action or ask of project: I prepare a detailed document each year, outlining concert dates, composers, and our family’s story.

    What is the response : The response has been overwhelmingly positive, with thank-you letters from students, staff, and parents. We've also been invited to youth events and appreciation ceremonies, and though we can’t always attend, the gratitude shown has been immensely rewarding.

    This legacy project has thrived for over 12 years, and we are proud to help foster youth music appreciation in Monterey.
