A Message From Jody
"I believe divorcing clients deserve better service than the status quo. The real estate and mortgage industry as a whole is underserving the divorcing borrower.
The intersection between divorce law, tax law, real estate, and mortgage financing is real, and we can’t ignore it. I challenge every real estate and mortgage professional to become part of the solution and raise their level of service when working with divorcing homeowners because you can’t think traditionally when working with divorce.
The CDLP® Certification offers the required knowledge, training, and resources for the mortgage professional with a higher calling to better serve the divorcing community."
