Homes For Heroes – The Shanley Team

Posted on by

Homes-for-Heroes

The Shanley Team at Inlanta Mortgage is pleased to announce their partnership with Homes for Heroes.

What is Homes for Heroes?

Homes for Heroes is a national network of the top mortgage lenders and real estate professionals who are prepared to give real savings to their community’s heroes when they buy or sell a home. Homes for Heroes’ mission is to provide extraordinary savings to heroes who provide extraordinary services to our nation and communities every day. As an approved lending affiliate with Homes for Heroes, the Shanley Team will be providing discounted lending services to heroes in the Central Indiana area.

Homes for Heroes Realtor Partners

The Shanley Team is also pleased to announce their partnership with more than 20 Central Indiana Homes for Heroes Realtors. Homes for Heroes Realtor partners will credit back 25 percent of their commissions to the Heroes whether they are buying or selling a home.

The program is close to Branch Manager Don Shanley’s heart, as his father served in the sheriff department and one of his father’s close friends, Master Trooper Michael Greene of the Indiana State Police, was killed in the line of duty. It’s important to Shanley and his team to offer this great program to local heroes. “When I was trying to create a program to give back I was approached with the National Homes for Heroes Program. After checking into the HFH Program I personally was in awe,” Shanley said. “It covered the hero categories of military, law enforcement, and fire that were on my list, but it added well deserving categories such as education, first responders, and medical personnel. Most of these are categories that are as well the true heroes of our communities and deserve these benefits!”

Derek & Stephanie Evelo of The Evelo Team at Keller Williams said, “I just want to be the first to express how excited the Evelo Team is to be partnered with Homes for Heroes! As soon as we heard about how the program will benefit our current/retired vets and local heroes like firefighters, police and medical professionals, we couldn’t wait to get on board! It’s our team’s way of ‘giving back’ to those who have so generously given of themselves, their lives and to their communities to help make the world a better place. And because our team’s core values are: making a difference & giving back to our community, we feel honored to be a part of this invaluable, special program to help those who have given tirelessly to our community.”

Warren Griffin of Re/Max Ability Plus said, “My dad was a World War II Veteran. I also have a daughter, two granddaughters and a son-in-law living at Pearl Harbor while serving with the Air Force at Hickam Air Force Base. I want to give back to all the people that help us every day of our life. It is the least I can do!”

Homes for Heroes Savings

Homes for Heroes seeks only the top Realtors® and Lenders who have proven track records and who want to give back to their communities by giving rebates and discounts to Heroes like you throughout the entire real estate transaction.

Homes for Heroes savings will vary per hero. The total amount Heroes save will depend on the final selling or buying price of their home.  Homes for Heroes Affiliates have agreed to the following rebates and discounts: discounted lender fees and a 25% credit on the gross brokerage commission.

Inlanta Intern – Learning the Ropes

Jared Wiitman - Inlanta Mortgage Intern

Jared Wittman – Inlanta Mortgage’s Super-Intern

Inlanta Mortgage has welcomed several new employees over the last year, but only one of them can call himself the “Super-Intern.” Although Super-Intern is an unofficial title, it really sums up how Jared Wittman’s internship at Inlanta Mortgage is anything but ordinary. From learning how a loan file is processed to studying the underwriting process – Jared’s growing knowledge of the mortgage process will ensure he achieves great things in the mortgage industry. We asked our Super-Intern to share his thoughts on his internship:

“The best way to be really good at something is to know all you can about it. Having first started knowing nothing about the mortgage industry, besides the 5 pages of notes I took before my first interview, I have a great opportunity on my hands as I essentially follow a loan as it flows through the process.

I think the thing I like most about this opportunity is that I’m always presented with a new challenge. When I think I’m in some sort of a routine I get hit with a curveball, have to learn something new, and continually expand my comfort zone. Not everyday is the same. Most days are great, some are definitely character building days, but overall I am learning a lot and am enjoying this.

Having spent the last two months in Central Processing has been a great experience. I have two months of knowledge that I didn’t have before I started. I want to thank Central Processing for allowing me to sit and observe them, ask questions, and help out in any way that I could. I’m just beginning my time in Underwriting and I’m excited to learn new things and continue to expand my comfort zone.

In beginning my third month with Inlanta Mortgage it’s hard to say exactly where I may just end up, but with my background in sales and customer service the end goal of the opportunity is pointed towards being a Loan Officer.”

Jared Wittman attended Waukesha County Technical College, graduating in 2011. For more information, email Jared directly at jaredwittman@inlanta.com.

Inlanta Mortgage Adds 3 New Branches

Three New Branches Join Inlanta Mortgage

As the mortgage industry continues to consolidate, veteran mortgage professionals seek to align themselves with mortgage banking companies that will provide them with comprehensive support services that enable them to best serve their customers and their communities. Inlanta Mortgage is pleased to announce that three groups of seasoned mortgage veterans have recently joined the Inlanta team looking to take advantage of Inlanta’s support services.

Recent additions to the Inlanta Mortgage family include fourteen year mortgage veteran Yvette Clermont and her De Pere, Wisconsin mortgage company; fifteen year veteran Dan Palmer of Schaumburg, Illinois; Laura Leonhard and her team of experienced mortgage professionals in Marshfield, Wisconsin.

Branch partners and their teams receive the full support of an experienced administrative team headquartered in Brookfield, Wisconsin. Support services included information technology (IT), marketing, compliance support, in-house underwriting, as well as experienced funding and processing departments.

In a recent study by Hammersmith, mortgage professionals are changing their preferred employers from large national players to regional, more local, mortgage bankers in seeking comprehensive support services for their branch operations. These mortgage professionals also place a high value on ethical business practices. In fact, integrity was listed as the most valuable characteristic sought from company leadership. Inlanta Mortgage has maintained a commitment to the highest ethical standards since it was founded in 1993.

The Hammersmith survey also asked mortgage loan originators what one tool or resource they would change about their current company. 30% of respondents reported they wanted better marketing platform/continuity support while nearly 20% reported better technology (including integrated systems, easy to use and accessible over the web). Inlanta Mortgage’s marketing support team can assist loan officers with every aspect of their marketing plan including web site development, advertising copy and layout, and advanced customer relationship management. Inlanta Mortgage’s technology platform was recognized by Mortgage Technology Magazine and awarded with their prestigious Top 25 Tech Savvy Lenders recognition.

Inlanta Mortgage continues to seek qualified mortgage professionals for branch partnerships and individual loan originators to join successful and established branches in Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin.
