John Kresevic’s short, but successful experience in the loan and mortgaging industry has taught him a lot about himself and his profession. Here are three important habits that loan officers should get into if they want to continue to improve in their profession.
- Loan officers should take advantage of all continuing education opportunities they are presented with. The more training and career development courses they take, the more knowledgeable they will be about their profession. Loan officers should also us mistakes and failures as an opportunity to learn and improve.
- Organization is an important skill and a good habit for loan officers to be in. Organization allows loan officers to access information quickly and efficiently, and allows them to pay attention to the small details. The more organized a loan officer is, the easier their job becomes.
- Lastly, loan officers should be proactive and get in a habit of following up with their partners and clients. Being proactive means that they return calls in a timely manner, they don’t leave tasks for the next day, and they embrace challenges, taking them head on versus waiting for a problem to go away on its own.
