Sharpening the axe with mortgage education expert Nathan Knottingham 

Today we are bringing to your feed a great conversation with an even greater guest: Nathan Knottingham. Nathan wears many hats within the mortgage space, including being the co-founder and CEO of the newly launched mortgage education company, MLO Force, the COO of Vetted VA, and the COO of Be My Neighbor Mortgage.

Clayton and Nathan originally scheduled this podcast to talk about MLO Force and the exciting things they’re doing in mortgage education and C.E. but Nathan had a surprise in store this past Monday when he posted a picture of him and his partners on the floor of the NASDAQ. Be My Neighbor and real estate software firm reAlpha are joining forces in the hopes to bring the mortgage industry a step forward in an end-to-end homebuying process.

Nathan offers great insights into MLO Force’s goal for continuing education across the larger workforce. He also shares what makes intellectual curiosity so special, even for those who consider themselves subject matter experts.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Be My Neighbor Mortgage’s acquisition by Realpha highlights the importance of technology in the real estate transaction.
• Continued education and being a willing learner are crucial for professionals to stay up to date on regulations and best practices.
• MLO Force offers mortgage education courses for individuals and enterprise-level clients, providing a flexible and comprehensive learning experience.
