As part of its continuing education program for mortgage industry and real estate professionals, Houston Mortgage Bankers Association hosted its first “Lunch and Learn” of 2016 on January 26. HMBA held the seminar in the training room of Gregg & Valby, LLP, 1700 West Loop South.

“Building a Business Plan that Works to have Your Best Year Ever” featured speaker Steve Kyles, a loan officer and coach at Legacy Mutual Mortgage. Kyles, a member of The Core Training group, coaches top real estate and mortgage lenders to be in the top one-percent of producers in the industry. He is a member of the Greater Houston Luxury Home Connection and a former HMBA board member.

“We were privileged to have Steve present his program for us”, said Bill Dawley, HMBA president. “He set out a simple but strategic plan to create tasks and strategies to help all of us accomplish our goals for 2016. I think everyone walked away with more clarity and focus on the year ahead. Steve is such a huge asset to the HMBA and to the local mortgage industry as a whole. He is passionate about providing assistance to local Houstonians so they can achieve the ‘American Dream’ and become a proud homeowner.”
