I have been a CDLP for about 2 years, one of the best educational programs in the mortgage industry. I always look for different niches in the industry to set myself apart. Since most of my marketing over my career has been to Financial Advisors, CPA’s and Attorneys the CDLP certification was perfect. I now leverage that education and certification to bring a new level of expertise to my referral partners. This has made a difference in my referrals. Now as I am working with divorcing clients, I am able to show their attorneys how I can be an asset to their practice. I highly recommend the CDLP certification.

I first connected with Jody and the Divorce Lending Association in 2014 after encountering several divorce-related mortgage files. Unfortunately, I found myself unable to assist at the time due to settlement agreements that didn’t align with the necessary mortgage guidelines. Over the years, I have found immense fulfillment in helping clients navigate the complexities of divorce settlements. Piecing together the divorce puzzle, especially when we can achieve a positive outcome for all parties involved, has been incredibly rewarding. Through my journey, I've come to understand that mastering the nuanced guidelines of Divorce Mortgage Planning takes time and patience. The advanced concepts and support that Jody and Team DLA provide are truly exceptional and set us apart from standard lenders. I am deeply grateful for their expertise, dedication, and the invaluable support they offer. #GratefulCDLPer

The Divorce Lending Association and CDLP® program has really opened doors of partnerships with not only divorce professionals like family law attorneys, but estate and elder law attorneys. Being a CDLP® has also given me the opportunity to deepen my relationship with real estate agents and financial advisors. Given the opportunity to explain how we help navigate marital settlement agreements and mortgage planning creates an admiration that I am not just another lender. As we say at the DLA, “Just because it’s a legal option, doesn’t mean it’s a lending option.

My friendly advice to any Mortgage Loan Originator interested in pursuing the divorce lending specialization is to seek proper training BEFORE approaching Divorce Attorneys for partnerships. In my humble opinion, the Certified Divorce Lending Professional program facilitated through the Divorce Lending Association is by far the most thorough and comprehensive divorce education available for mortgage originators.

The one word to describe my experience is "Eye-Opening". I really loved the knowledge that I learned and how to set ourselves apart from others in the business and to focus on helping the divorcing group. The class scared me to death. It was some really great and useful information and I appreciated the fact that you looked for an alternative to us having to chase clients and realtors for every transaction that we do. I thought it was really hard the first day and then I decided to buckle-up buttercup and put my big girl pants on to make it through. (10 out of 10 Rating)

The one word to describe my experience is "enlightening!" I feel after 35 years in our industry, I have found another way to love what we do. Problem solving coupled with our abilities to communicate clearly and make a difference. Divorce is not fun....generally speaking. Being able to assist with the Divorce Team, early on in the process so to create better remedies and "after divorce," peace for divorcing spouses is needed. Family Law Attorney, Financial Planners, Mediators, Divorce Coaches and the divorcing spouses will certainly benefit from a good CDLP. This course certainly exceeded my expectations. I cannot really speak to exactly what my initial expectations were, however this course itself, the areas that we covered, and Jody's extensive explanations and examples kept me engaged and interested. I actually used the word "riveting," at one point.! LOL! (10 out of 10)
