Do you have #Support in your life?

As I mentioned once before I work full-time as a Loan Processor for an amazing company, Patriot Home Mortgage.

I am licensed to originate my own loans but I honestly enjoy the processing side of it all rather than the selling side. I am not a good salesman.

But that is besides the point.

As a processor I juggle about 25-30 files at one time. Each file, or borrower, is very unique from the rest so staying organized with what file is at what stage in the process & keeping track of the unique qualities of each can be stressful at times. 

I will be honest & say that there has been more than one occasion where I have questioned my decision to be a processor over the past 6 years.

One of the biggest reasons for this doubt is because part of our job is to deal with multiple people on each file. Whether it be the borrower, the Realtor  the title company or the many many different people you communicate with at the lender you are sending the loan to. There can be a lot of pressure and frustrations along the way. Sometimes you are at the mercy of someone else doing their job efficiently.

And because you are the processor, or  middle man, when things do not go as planned you often feel the blame, whether it was directed at you or not.

Luckily for me I currently work for an amazing team within Patriot Home Mortgage. I have an incredible support group with our team. We all know we stand equal & we are valued & trusted to do our job.

I am sharing this because I know a lot of you have high stress jobs like mine and I know how things can be on the other end when you do not have support or trust at work. 

Before I came to Patriot a year ago I worked in an environment that I was not supported at all. It wasn't always that way but towards the end of my time there it became very clear that it was time for me to move on and find a better place for myself.

I hope and pray that each of you has the support you  need in your life. Without it it is really hard to stay positive at work and it definitely carries into your personal life as well. My husband does not like it when I bring the bad home with me. 

If you do not have the support you need please let me know. I would love to try and be that support for you.
