Mortgage School
Increase Revenue by offering Mortgage - NEW School
In cooperation with the Community Bankers Association of Georgia, Crescent Mortgage is proud to sponsor the reboot of the Mortgage School. This school is targeted at both bankers who want to enter the secondary market mortgage space and those that are already seasoned in mortgage origination. Participants will be able to choose to attend either in person or virtually over four 2-day sessions (totaling 8 days / 32 total hours of instruction). In-person sessions will be held at Crescent Mortgage headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. The Mortgage School will focus on the roles and functions within residential mortgage banking.
Module 1 • 7/20-21 • 8am-12pm
The first module will cover the basic business model of mortgage lending and how the overall industry affects the economy. After laying the groundwork, we will move into loan products and programs. Wrapping up the first module, we will cover the mortgage process from origination to closing.
