Until recently, I didn’t realize how important this was

It’s only been very recently that I realized the self talk thing has substance. Irene helps you to understand the signs and reasons why it’s important as well as what to do to yourself get out kid your own way.

@KellyTaylor ,

A must for entire loan team 💙

My Loan Partner was very new to the mortgage industry when I hired her. I hired her for her personality and drive to help others. Irene and Kenny’s Loan Assistant Training Bootcamp was the perfect Mortgage 101 training for her. I highly recommend the podcast and bootcamp to help your team excel in the mortgage process.

Gisele_Oliveira ,
