Sheena Corbett of Synovus offers her remarks after being installed as the 2020 president of the Chattanooga Mortgage Bankers Association during the organization’s 2019 awards and installation dinner March 6 at The Westin.
The event celebrated a year during which local lenders closed more than 5,500 units for over $1 billion in loan production.
Corbett urged her colleagues to stress the importance of using local lenders and Realtors as companies with no brick-and-mortar presence in Chattanooga attempt to do business in the city.
“These threats are on our doorsteps, and it’s going to take us working together to show our clients that the personal service they get from a local lender is better than a computer,” Corbett said.
