Timothy Burks
Palm Springs,California
Summary
While I have limited direct experience in Loan Origination, I did start in mortgage and worked in Real Estate Sales for 16 years. I decided after using my knowledge of the mortgage business to help home buyers find the right lender and to understand the mortgage process, to dive back into Loan generation.
I think my 16 years in the Palm Springs market as a well know Realtor will give a significant advantage to developing loan relations with Realtors with whom I am a friendly, repudible commodity.
