After getting a degree in economics and finance, Brown applied at Transamerica Financial. Long story short, he got hired and was placed in the company’s loan division.
“Back in the 1990s, Transamerica Financial was one of the most well-known financial institutions in the country,” Brown told MPA. “At that time, I did not know exactly what I would be doing for them. I was just excited to be a member of the company. I started with them on June 01, 1994, and I have been in the mortgage business since that time.”
Brown believes that no two loans are exactly alike. Each has its unique issues and challenges, he said, and it is his job to match people’s needs with the right solutions. Brown admits that the problem-solving part is what he really enjoys about his mortgage business.
“After all these years, I still love originating loans. I enjoy working with families helping them achieve their financial goals,” he shared. “I have several great realtors I partner with, and I consider these partners my friends, not just business associates. My team is amazing, and they do such a good job making sure we offer outstanding service to all customers and partners.”
