NMP - December 2016 - 55
55 "I personally believe that in order to communicate something effectively, nothing beats the phone or even an in-person meeting." But Scheer insisted that he was hardly alone within the mortgage industry when it comes to going the proverbial extra mile to give something back to the wider society. "We're seeing the industry start to do it more," he said of the mortgage profession's sense of altruism. "The mortgage industry was built because of its sense of community, but somewhere along the way, we forgot that we are about more than selling homes and rates and refinancing. This is my 28th year in the industry and I've never seen industry give back as it has in the last 24 months." Comfort Cases can be found online at ComfortCases.org.
