Advantage Credit Launches Online Mortgage Education Center

Continuing Education Resources, Added to Broker Toolkit, Offers Brokers Convenience in Compliance

PENSACOLA, FLA. (PRWEB) March 8, 2006 -- Advantage Credit has partnered with Mortgage-Education.Com to bring continuing education courses to brokers’ desktops through the Advantage Credit Online Mortgage Education Center.

Part of Advantage Credit’s Broker Toolkit, the courses are state-specific, and the service also tracks the compliance status of individuals within a larger brokerage for easy company-wide monitoring.
“Our Mortgage Education Center has everything a broker needs for licensing and compliance in any sponsored state, with an inexpensive price tag,” said Ron Litt, president of Advantage Credit. “This key addition to our Broker’s Toolkit helps prevent fraud by keeping brokers and parent companies educated and aware—critical when the majority of mortgage fraud is committed by insiders,” he continued.

Litt, a mortgage industry champion who recently joined Advantage Credit, spent years building Allied Home Mortgage Capital Corp. into the country’s largest broker firm. His plan for Advantage Credit includes several upcoming products and services that will be immediately useful to brokers wishing to grow quickly and effectively.

Advantage Credit Online Mortgage Education Center offerings include continuing education courses for any state’s licensing requirements for mortgage brokers, loan officers, appraisers and real estate professionals; college credit courses, available to anyone just entering the business or needing a comprehensive refresher course; “Learning the Mortgage Business” series, designed for students needing to learn the industry but not requiring certification; and company training courses, tailored to fit the needs of a firm’s unique operations. Video, audio and written text learning methods make learning fast and enjoyable.

“Mortgage-Education.Com is extremely pleased with the Advantage Credit relationship as it leverages our combined resources to enhance education to the mortgage industry,” said Dan Johnson, president of Mortgage-Edcuation.Com. “As the leader in mortgage industry training and CEU classes, we feel that partnering with Advantage Credit through the Advantage Credit Online Mortgage Education Center will help both organizations exceed their goals of increasing the success of those in the profession.”

Advantage Credit is constantly adding resources to its Broker’s Toolkit to help brokers close more loans and to protect their companies, clients and themselves. Current tools include educational seminars on credit reporting and marketing; the Originator’s Best Friend™, matching brokers and lenders to close more loans; the ViewFast™ credit report format, the easiest to read credit report in the industry; ScorMor™, a merged report with a score valued for alternative credit; Score Builder™, allowing brokers to preview potential score improvements; TruScore™, verifying credit scores at no charge; and LoanShield™, preventing fraud by validating loan data and generating an alert summary score.
