Campus MBA Teams Up With Option One

Campus MBA, the educational arm of the Mortgage Bankers Association, is teaming up with Option One Mortgage Corp., a subprime wholesaler in Irvine, Calif., to launch a new mortgage broker and originator initiative called Creating New Customers.Its goal is to teach brokers and other originators how to lead customer workshops in an effort to improve financial literacy and enhance relationships. "Creating New Customers has a dual purpose leading toward one unified goal," said Dan Thoms, the MBA's vice president of education and business development.
