Loan Officer Survey

Dear Loan Officer,

In an effort to get a better handle on the Loan Officer community and how important LOs are to the lending effort, we at NMN and ON are conducting a nationwide survey of all LOs (Whether you work for a banker or broker or happen to be your own boss, we want to hear from you. No matter how large or small you are we'd like your input. Please take a few minutes of your time to fill out this survey form.)

What's in this for you? FREE publicity. Free is good. Publicity is good. Origination News, Broker and National Mortgage News will eventually rank LOs by their respective states as well as nationally. The information also will be published in a special ON/NMN research report on LOs. Also, if you answer this survey ON and NMN will provide you with a free copy of the executive summary of that research report. If you so choose we also will send you FREE our Daily Briefing, an email news roundup.

So, please answer as many questions as possible. If there's questions you don't want to answer, that's okay with us too. But to get ranked you need to provide a volume figure for 2007.

Questions about this survey? Feel free to email me at: Paul.Muolo@SourceMedia.com

Sincerely,

Paul Muolo
executive editor NMN/senior editor, ON
