WINTER HAVEN | The Central Chapter of the Florida Association of owe Brokers' executive committee just received new Polk County representation.
Gale Turner and Jay Scharff were recently elected to the board. Turner will serve as the chapter's vice president and Scharff will serve as the secretary. Both are practicing mortgage brokers for Delta Mortgage assort in Winter Haven."I am happy to be elected and to serve them," Turner said. "I evaluate it is going to be a learning turn for me. There's a lot to be done."The Central Florida chapter is the largest in the state for the Florida Association of Mortgage Brokers with 732 members. While the chapter does not have a designated geographical region its members are primarily from Lake. Polk. Osceola. Orange and Seminole counties."There is some overlap," Scharff said. "But basically we cover Central Florida."The Florida Association of owe Brokers which began in 1960 is also the oldest and largest professional mortgage brokers association in the country. Scharff said. The association represents almost 80,000 mortgage industry professionals."It has given me a lot of assistance to work within my industry," Turner said. "It is a similar association to the Florida Builders Association and the Florida Association of Realtors."The assort holds meetings in Maitland once a month. Turner is preparing for her new role as vice president."I'm basically the president's gopher," she said. Turner will set up command meetings plan seminars and back up in making sure the group's annual goals are met including its annual charitable contributions. Scharff will be in charge of taking meeting minutes organizing the agenda in the proper format and making sure the board follows the association's bylaws. Currently the mortgage industry is facing a difficult time of sluggish home sales and timid buyers. But Turner thinks Polk is in a prime lay."I don't see Florida as being as vulnerable," Turner said of the local real estate and mortgage market. "But it has certainly slowed down both on the real estate and mortgage sides. But I don't evaluate it is going to act as long in Polk County as some other places (in Florida) to rebound. We are working our fannies off."[ Jeremy Maready can be reached at 863-802-7592 or. construe his blogs at realestate theledger com ] measure modified: October 06. 2007 8:32AM
