Jim Allen has been in the mortgage industry since 2000 when he started his own Mortgage Company in Old Orchard Beach. His first loans were like many loan officers find when they come into the industry: challenging loans that other lenders could not close. In order to close these loans Jim had to become an expert on each and every loan program. What he found was that most loans that were declined didn't have to be, but rather that the Loan Officer may not have known the specific guidelines needed to get the loan thru closing. By learning the ins and outs of each program Jim was able to build a name for himself and his company as someone who could get it done, no matter the situation.
Fast forward to Today and Jim still has that reputation. Working at Movement Mortgage has allowed Jim to take his skills to the next level working with Movements industry leading turn times and support for their loan officers and staff. In Jims role as Market Leader for Maine he is not only responsible for originating Mortgage loans, but for recruiting talent to join him and helping his team members navigate the constantly changing and evolving mortgage lending guidelines. But more importantly, Jim has found a company who has a 'Why' nearly identical to his.
I started in Mortgage Lending so that I could have the time I needed to be present with my family and still earn a living. This job allows me the flexibility to do both of those things. I also love helping people find a home that they could truly afford and help them purchase that home. At Movement, I have found a company that believes as I did when I owned my small company, and Movements Co-Founder Casey Crawford said it best: Its not about how much you take from a community that matters, its about how much you give back. At Movement we are running a business, and profit matters. But profit is not the reason, it is the result. I truly believe that more and more each day, consumers and employees choose where they spend their money and where they work based on how the company operates not only in the business world, but in the community as well. Movement bases every decision on our mission statement and is truly leading a Movement of Change in our Industry, in Corporate Culture and in our Communities every day.
