Late in 1980, a group of lenders, mortgage insurers and title insurers met for the common purpose of establishing
an organization which would fulfill the following needs:
To promote the education and welfare of the mortgage lender in the Puget
Sound area and to improve their services and professional standards to the
community through timely seminars and workshops. We offer a yearly
scholarship to the School of Mortgage Banking to an outstanding member
of our Association.
To provide a political base wherein the group could speak louder than the individual members.
To sponsor speakers and meetings for the timely discussion of real estate, financial, and mortgage related topics. We continually strive to provide quality speakers that address current market conditions, current changes in our industry, and local and regional topics.
To afford the opportunity to those engaged in the business to secure the benefits of personal acquaintances, to network, and to exchange ideas and viewpoints of our market and industry.
The Association was formed to promote the education and welfare of the mortgage lender in the Puget Sound area, and to provide a forum in which area lenders could share ideas, discuss concerns, and establish networks with their peers. It was a body designed to encourage professional standards throughout the lending community and to provide a united voice on issues of political concern to the mortgage industry.
The mortgage business and the players involved have undergone many changes in the past years, and the Association continues to serve the ever-changing needs of its membership.
