that was usually there at night, because they
had to lock the doors and I was basically the
only one that was allowed a key.

So approximately what time, 1n your experience,

did you see the other loan officers leave in

A

10

I would say maybe 5:00, 6:00 -- 6:00 at the

It would vary.

do things in the day,

15

or they may have what we call a closing going
on that night, so you stay there, you wait for

your closing.

But other than that, you leave.

What about Fridays, did people stay later or
leave earlier on Friday afternoon?

Friday was normally a half a day.

Q

Was there any particular place that people went
on Friday afternoons?

2

A

Yes, we used to go up to what we call the

Islander.

The Islander or the Clarion that

Q

used to be on Bagley Road, we would go there

and have cocktails or something just to unwind
after work.

And that was it.

What about in the mornings? Tell me about your
observations in terms of when people would come
into work in the morning?

10 11 12 13
14
A

Well, normally, everyone was usually in the
office at 9: 00, unless they had appointments or

something like that.

Sometimes -- a lot of

times I wouldn't be there in the mornings

15

because I'm at doctor's appointments or
something like that, but on the occasions or times I was there, everybody usually is at
there working.
You want to go in there at 9: 00

and you want to leave 5:00.

And was that

did you hear anybody say that,

is that sort of the expressed concept?
A

Oh, yeah, a lot of our loan officers stay quite

Well, for one thing, the customers.

We get a

Q

2 3
4

So wha t, if any, advice do you give to the

customer 1n process?
A

I would tell the customer -- once I looked at

all the numbers, I would basically give them
what we call a debt consolida tion worksheet.

7

Show them if you payoff all this, this is your

your savings is, and you still have those

You try to maximize the biggest savings

Q

mortgage?
Did you ever discuss mortgage sav1ng plans with

customers?
A
Q

5
6 7
8

Oh, yes.

Always.

And why is that?

A

Well, mortgage savings program is a biweekly
plan tha t if they pay -- if they make their

9

payments biweekly, it takes seven years off on 30-year mortgage, it takes seven years off
their rate, especially if they have a low
credi t score and it's a nonconforming customer,

10
11 12

13
14

it's a good program to use.

It gives them a

lower effecti ve interest rate.

A rate can be

15

nine or ten percent, but wi th the mortgage

16
17

sav1ngs program, their rate now becomes six
percent range.
You see, pl us it says seven

18

years off your mortgage, plus the savings is
really tremendous.

amount of paperwork that's involved.

And they

before any package goes to a customer.

Q When, if ever, did these loan officers ask you
where they should broker a loan?
