Ed's Blog

I recently returned from the California Association of Mortgage Brokers (CAMB) Annual Convention in San Diego, which was nothing short of phenomenal! The best of the best in the mortgage industry were eager to educate, enlighten and share best practices! And they certainly succeeded in doing so.

With so many legislative changes occurring over the last year; the resounding themes of the convention were: “How Can We Best Protect Our Clients?” and “How Can We Best Educate Our Clients?”

You know, that’s the thing that I’ve always loved about belonging to CAMB. This group of professionals has a true passion for helping consumers. Obtaining a mortgage is often confusing. Unfortunately, during the boom in the housing market, many people entered the industry to capitalize on this fact, in an effort to line their own pockets. But members of CAMB are just a different breed. Members willingly agree to abide by the highest standards of ethics, and to put consumer education and protection at the forefront of their daily objectives.

I’m proud to stay on the state board and Executive Committee as Vice President of Finance this year, and look forward to the leadership of our new president, Ed Smith Jr. Ed will be furthering our consumer education and protection agendas during his leadership term.
