Host a Lunch & Learn for home loans / refinancing on your campus

We’re in the planning stages with our partners at HomeStreet Bank to produce a “Lunch & Learn” workshop in the fall of 2016.   Several faculty have asked if we could host this workshop at their campus and we would love to do so. If you think you can get about 10 or so of your colleagues to attend a workshop at your campus, there’s a good chance we can put something together.

Interested? Contact us and we’ll work with you to organize something, preferably in the fall.

We do have a default plan in the works and we’ll adjust it if we get some feedback otherwise.
