He worked in sales management for seven years before jumping into the mortgage industry. "I love it... I'm just trying to figure out why I didn't make the jump sooner." That love for his job clearly affects how he handles his customers. As a loan officer, Nate says the customer is number one. "I just try to treat people how I would want to be treated. Each customer needs something different and finding that perfect loan for each customer is my goal." 864.255.5115 ext.119 |
