Loan Officer, DC Lending

My favorite part about this course is learning how to decipher what exactly is going on with their credit report and how to shrink the amount of time from them being a client to being a realized purchase. I can actually interpret their credit report. And even though the score may not be all that great, we can actually boost their credit.

Senior Loan Officer, Shields Family Home LoansJeremy Schroyer

Jeremy Schroyer

The hardest thing about becoming a mortgage lender was really knowing what to look for on client’s credit reports. This course gives me the ability to coach the client on how to establish more of a credit foundation. So really knowing where those fine lines are at and helping to coach the client and how to get there. That’s what I’m extremely excited for in Creditworthy.

Loan Originator, Gateway Mortgage

Ben Surratt

I'm super excited for this course because so many times we have had clients who focus too much on things they can't control. Like the housing market or, or interest rates are going up or going down. This course actually gives your clients and my clients something they can control and show them how to control it better.

Loan Officer, Granite Home Loans

Shelley Foss

It’s taken me 15+ years to learn the information that’s in this course. It’s totally worth it to pay for a one-time course and get it done in a day.

Loan Officer, Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation

Jason Presser

Working with Ivory has been phenomenal. I've had a lot of clients that didn't quite qualify because of their credit. Some of them only needed a little boost in their score to get a much better rate. Ivory has helped them all and has helped me close more loans because of it.

CEO, Matrix Roofing and Home Solutions

Wendy Marvin

Ivory is a professional in a very sketchy world. So many promises to fix issues out there, but Ivory is the real deal. She was all over my issue and fixed a problem I had been fighting for months. She's thorough and has exceptional knowledge in her industry.

Mortgage Planning Specialist

Adesina Cameron

When the client first came to me I thought they were years away but she helped get them preapproved the same year!

You’ve got a full 90 days to change your mind. If you get Creditworthy and go through it and participate in the Q&A calls and are still not able to read a credit report and use it to help your clients, reach out to me at [email protected] and get a full refund.
