Academy Mortgage is the best mortgage company to work for in Arizona.
The Best Mortgage Company to Work For
I know it sounds like a bold and biased statement, but I stand by it.
I have been lending for many years now and I have worked for large banks such as Bank of America and Wells Fargo, mid-sized independent bankers (to remain unnamed … call me if you really want to know), and I’ve owned my own mortgage brokerage. Out of all of my lending experience, I am comfortable saying that Academy Mortgage is the best company to work for. They have the perfect blend of large corporate structure, support and stability with a decentralized operating scheme that empowers the local offices. This is absolutely essential to survive and dominate the mortgage industry right now.
