Guaranteed Home Mortgage Company Announces Webinar
on Valuable Sales Tools to Help Retain Top LOs
White Plains, NY, Feb. 18, 2013  Guaranteed Home Mortgage Company, Inc. (Guaranteed,
www.ghmc.com), a national residential mortgage investment and banking firm, today announced
it will be hosting a webinar Thursday, February 21 titled “Unleash More Sales Tools for Your
Team to Keep the Grass Greener on Your Side of the Fence.”
The webinar will present concrete marketing and management strategies and best
practices that mortgage branch managers or broker/owners can implement to grow their business
and ensure loan officer longevity. Interested parties can link here to register for the free event.
“Guaranteed is proud to continue its monthly webinar series for mortgage professionals,"
said David Wind, President and CEO of Guaranteed. "LO compensation, regulatory and market
changes have made it challenging to retain great loan originators. This month we're tackling
obstacles to longevity, elements that when lacking at the branch level may cause LOs to look for
greener grass elsewhere, such as available marketing tools and guidance, help with strategic
partnerships, a motivational atmosphere in the office and more." Wind will moderate the
discussion.
David Wind received a bachelor's in Accounting from Boston University School of
Business Management, a Juris Doctorate at New York Law School and a Master of Science in
Real Estate Development & Investment from NYU. He clerked at the New York State Attorney
General's Real Estate Finance Bureau and was also an analyst at Citicorp, responsible for
investment analysis of mortgage-backed investment securities and offerings. He formed
Guaranteed Home Mortgage in 1992, where it has grown to 23 states.
Speakers include Jamey Citrone, Regional Director for Guaranteed, offering
comprehensive hands-on experience and pragmatic advice to branch managers. He was named
top loan originator out of 1,600 at a previous firm and, with staff retention levels exceeding a
decade, he knows how to create an atmosphere conducive to both loyalty and productivity.
Renae Valdez-Simeon, former social media and web consultant and the newest addition
to the Guaranteed marketing team, will speak on social media and other online strategies. Her
