|
Walter Gorman
Walter Gorman has been originating residential mortgages since 2002. In 2008 Walter joined Absolute Home Mortgage. He holds an outstanding record as a loan officer, with over a 95% customer satisfaction. His business insight on the ever changing real estate industry, has allowed him to supersede that of the average loan officer. Walter has been recognized as one of the top producers for Absolute Home Mortgage for the last 5 consecutive years. In addition, Walter is a Technology Course Instructor at EBCBOR. He offers workshops that teach the members ways to enhance their tech skills and improve their business.
What do you think is the best part of being partnered with EBCOR?
The opportunity we have to meet agents, I think is one the most beneficial aspects of our partnership. Through our partnership, we have made strong relationships with a lot of the members. We have been able to learn from the members about the struggles they face trying to obtain business, which has allowed my team and I to come up with ways in which we can help them be more successful.
How has your experience been with our members? How have they responded to the classes and workshops you offer at the board? My experience with the members has been a great one! My team and I enjoy helping the members take their business to the next level. As a result from providing the tech workshops at the board we've
had over 150 private tutoring classes and have agents come to our office daily for help with their online presence.
