HousingWire: What is your current favorite HW+ article and why?
Neena Vlamis: HousingWire, I love the staff! Until I was recently asked to be on a webinar, I did not have my eyes wide open. Now I am a member and am looking forward to reading and will find a favorite article soon!
HousingWire: What are you fast thoughts on the following:
Neena Vlamis:
- My most useful tech tool is… is my brain. It works faster than any technology out there!.
- The best piece of advice I’ve ever received is… to always be kind. You don’t know what the other person is thinking or going through.
- My biggest learning opportunity was… asking my husband if he was okay delaying our honeymoon so I could open A and N Mortgage.
- If I had picked a different career path, I would be an… English Professor. I have 12 hours left to finish my masters.
- I felt like a success at my job when… one of my employees bought me a sweatshirt that says “BBE”. Best Boss Ever. This employee is about 20 years older than myself and has had a lot of employers. This sweatshirt made my heart melt.
HousingWire: If you could change or implement one piece of housing regulation, what would it be and why?
Neena Vlamis: Remove SB1167, this bill should not have been passed, the data sits on a server that is not used for any reason and it costs borrowers additional fees. It is a complete waste. When a bill is passed as a test pilot, an expiration date must be included!!!
HousingWire: What keeps you up at night and why?
Neena Vlamis: Lately, I have been wondering why so many people are renting when they should be owning.
