Description

Ever wonder what the mortgage industry was like with 17% interest rates, paper files, and no internet? Rates were locked by phone, deals were made with a handshake, and entire loan files were shipped in cardboard boxes.

In this episode, we step into a time machine with Mike Hyman, Certified Mortgage Banker (CMB), a 43-year industry veteran celebrating his 30th year with the designation. He shares incredible stories and lessons learned from his unique global perspective, having managed mortgage operations in the UK.
