QUOTES:

“I think one of the biggest things that I always stress is that there’s not necessarily one method for a successful program in that you don’t have to mirror the live Oaks of the world to get a good successful structure.”

Will McClain

“Probably the best marketing that a lender could do is the process. If you have an efficient process where you can give quick nos or conditional yeses, and you get the loans closed in an efficient compliant manner, you’re going to be successful.”

Chuck Evans
