The end of September means two things in New England: the beginning of fall and an annual gathering of mortgage bankers in Providence, R.I. While the leaves haven't yet changed, the air is getting crisper and last week almost 3,000 mortgage professionals and 265 exhibitors attended the 18th annual New England Mortgage Banking Conference. Held at the Rhode Island Convention Center in downtown Providence, NEMBC offered industry-related conferences with an aggressive educational and network agenda. Conferees included representatives from banks, independent mortgage companies, credit unions and titles companies. "This year we celebrate our 18th NEMBC . and it looks as though we are all grown up," Kathleen Schreck, MMBA chairwoman, said of the conference. "Given the current unpredictable interest-rate environment, most professionals who work on residential loans have been working 70-hour weeks to service their many clients. So we'll offer all of our industry's attendees the appropriate menu for them to relax and discover new educational and networking opportunities for future business growth." (see online article for added text).

Moderated by Charlie Nilsen, New England regional manager for JPMorgan Chase in Braintree, the session included insight from Dean Caso, president of Needham-based Homevest Mortgage; Steven Jacobson, co-founder of Fairway Independent Mortgage in Texas and Wisconsin; and Saber Salam, senior vice president of the mortgage banking division at Boston-based Eastern Bank.

Jacobson of Fairway Independent Mortgage also supports the team concept.
Each branch in his company has a team of four. If a loan file needs to be completed, the entire team is e-mailed and coordinated work can begin in unison. While most companies have found ways to generate more business and revenue, even during slow times, tackling expenses may be more challenging.

When the industry experiences a slow period, Jacobson said he actually invests more money into his employees with coaching and training to keep them inspired. "We spend money making sure we invest in people," said Jacobson.

For most companies, benefit packages are a "huge" expense item, Caso said. But it is an important element in finding and keeping talented employees. "It's an important aspect of recruitment," Caso said. .... (see online article for more text).

Some of the other highlights of the conference included a panel of state regulators. Regulators from each of the New England states updated attendees on the latest regulatory and legislative changes that will affect the mortgage industry overall and specifically in New England states

KAREN WAMPLER

SPRING GREEN, WI - - MARCH 2, 2005 - - - - The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development presented their Silver Level Million Dollar Lender Award to Karen Wampler of Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation.

The Silver Level Million Dollar Lender Award recognizes lenders who have played a significant role in the success of Rural Development’s Guaranteed Rural Housing (GRH) program in Wisconsin. Awardees have utilized in excess of $1 Million of GRH program funds during each of the two-years of the award period, in financing home purchases for local residents.

Representatives from USDA Rural Development presented the award to Karen Wampler, Mortgage Consultant for Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation, at a recognition ceremony that took place at the Round Barn Restaurant and Lodge in Spring Green.

“Rural Development and numerous lenders across the State are committed to providing the financial resources to assist rural Wisconsin families obtain homeownership,” said USDA Rural Development Wisconsin State Director, Frank Frassetto. “Partnering together is a great way to leverage our resources to meet the challenges put forth by the Bush Administration to increase homeownership in rural America and improve the quality of life for many rural Wisconsinites. We value our partnership with Ms. Wampler and Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation”, he added.

“Today, we acknowledge not only their contribution to our success, but also honor their commitment to the residents of their community, in providing the affordable homeownership opportunities created through the GRH program.”

In FY 2004, $105 million in GRH funds assisting nearly 1,057 WI families become homeowners who might not otherwise have had the opportunity. This is an increase in GRH funding from the previous fiscal year at $103 million. With over $3 billion available nation wide, expectations are that Rural Development and its approved lenders will again exceed their outstanding performance of the previous year here in Wisconsin.

USDA Rural Development’s mission is to deliver programs in a way that will support increasing economic opportunity and improve the quality of life of rural residents and serves as the lead Federal entity for rural development needs administering over $428 million dollars annually throughout rural Wisconsin.

Important Announcements From Dan Cutaia, President/COO** I am pleased to announce that Lee Ann Butts has accepted the position of Senior Vice President - Quality Control. Lee Ann has been in the mortgage business for over 29 years having held numerous positions including sales, processing, underwriting, servicing and quality control. She has spent the last 11 years in Quality Control and is recognized as an industry leader with regards to fraud prevention and defective loan loss mitigation. Lee Ann is charged with taking our QC efforts to a new level. When we became a Direct Endorsement Lender and VA LAPP lender we entered a new era. HUD and VA have a stringent set of QC requirements that must be met. Both HUD and VA do periodic onsite audits and have the authority to eliminate our ability to underwrite or originate loans. It’s serious stuff. Additionally, our MI and Investor partners are significantly increasing their audit and QC efforts. I look forward to the talent, experience and energy Lee Ann brings to this effort! Congratulations to Lee Ann!!! I am also proud to announce the promotion of Wendy Werner to Senior Vice President, Branch Development. Wendy has been a major contributor to Fairway’s success for over 10 years. She leads with a winning attitude and “can-do” spirit. Her enthusiasm and deep knowledge of all aspects of the mortgage lending industry will help fuel the growth of the firm. Branch Development is a new department within Fairway, its mission being the recruitment of new branches, on-boarding and assimilation into the Fairway system in the early critical months of employment. Additional responsibilities include branch marketing, product management and an executive role in our new training infrastructure. We look forward to further announcements concerning her new department as an outgrowth of its development. Congratulations Wendy! In addition I am proud to announce the promotion of Paul Walnick to Sr VP of the newly created Information Technology Dept (IT). Paul has 18 years in the mortgage banking business and a diverse background including that of CPA. The IT Dept will handle all aspects of our technology and project needs. The Dept is made up of Hardware/Networks/Telecom, Core Software Support and Development and Business/Project Analytics. Congratulations Paul! We look forward to the management and organizational skills you'll bring to bear in your new position.
