CMB Motivation and Challenges:
I earned my CMB In 2007 (in process of finalizing written and oral exam). CMB is the only professional designation in mortgage banking industry.

The enriched knowledge base gives me confidence to achieve higher ground in my career.
Business Impact:
Confidence and respect from both peers and clients.
Importance:
It creates a certainty that the latest industry standards and current dialogue are being implemented into our business model.
What is the most significant issue facing the real estate finance industry today?
With the subprime meltdown and the credit crunch, it is important to regain consumer and investor confidence.
What are the hottest trends you see that will impact the industry in the future?
A realization that consumer advocacy is essential to the long term health of the industry. We must pursue "satisfied" customers that fully understand the financial transactions they enter into.
How has your experience as a CMB prepared you to handle the issues and trends you listed above?
My CMB gives me a broadened knowledge of both the scope of the issues and their potential solutions. I have established an important network of contacts. The knowledge gained through the CMB qualifying process, as well as my dialogue with variety of speakers and candidates has greatly expanded my vision.
What advice do you have for those interested in obtaining the CMB Designation?
The benefits are far greater than the time and effort required to become a CMB. It is a key professional milestone.
