“According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, interest rates are less than four percent. Combine that with the increase in homebuying activity that accompanies the spring and summer months and the need for qualified home loan specialists becomes evident,” said Mike Hardwick, president of Churchill Mortgage. “These 14 individuals exemplify the types of mortgage professionals needed to ensure we maintain the integrity of our loan pipelines and continue supporting borrowers’ pursuit of the real American dream of homeownership.
