Al Rodenburg, CHLA - Branch Mgr/Sr.MLO: After a brief departure from the mortgage business, Al says "It is great to be back in the mortgage industry. I think we will see 2010 become a watershed point in American home financing. I expect 2010 to be the start of a different perception of mortgage loan financing in the United States. We can be proud of the agencies that have come together to form the NMLS (National Mortgage Licensing System), which will be implemented nationally by July, 2010 - and mark the end of so many issues that caused the implosion of the mortgage lending industry as a whole between the end of 2006 and beginning of 2009. The consumer can finally compare apples with apples.(All mortgage loan originators will be required to pass national exams - as well as go through thorough background checks)." Founded in 1996, Ascent Home Loans is a national mortgage banker dedicated to outstanding customer service and with a corporate motto: "The Best Mortgage Experience." "Opening a new office in an industry that has undergone (and continues to undergo) historic change was not an easy decision, but my passon for the industry and belief that it again will become a vibrant part of the renewal of the economic fabric of our nation, led me to this decision." About Ascent Home Loans: headquartered in Colorado, this nationwide mortgage banker was purposefully founded to provide "The Best Mortgage Experience". From the founders: "That little statement is the foundation our company was built on. We want every contact with us to have been the Best Mortgage Experience you've had. We know this is a tall order, and for this reason we have "The Best Mortgage Experience" written in 15" letters across every wall in our Corporate office. It serves as a reminder as to how important our relationship is with you, our Client...As the mortgage industry continues to shift and divide, one simple truth has become evident: there is nothing as important as the relationship with our Client."
