Partners,

It’s hard to believe how fast this year has gone by thus far – the old adage says – “Time flies when you’re having fun!” I’m not sure it’s all been fun, but it has certainly been a wild ride!  My pride for PRMI and our partners seems to have no boundaries – growing each hour, day and month. We continue to make new strides and achievements in an otherwise insane mortgage lending environment.

I know of few mortgage company CEO’s that get to enjoy boasting an increase in volume of more than 25% (2007 to 2008). Yet myself and other executives frequently voice this fact about our amazing organization – and it truly is! We’ve done all the right things over the years – and now we are enjoying the fruits of our responsible-business model and unwillingness to chase the “easy bucks”.  Our business partners have stuck with us over the last decade, have trusted in us, and believed that this organization has something special. This collaborative effort and desire for PRMI to be “one of the greats” is apparent in everything we do – every single day.

As challenges arise, undoubtedly opportunity follows. I believe that one of the major successes of PRMI is our ability to keep a 360 degree view of the entire industry – to witness opportunity and not get stuck in the quagmire of the daily grind. Despite these being the most challenging times in the mortgage-lending industry, the great people of this company have never abandoned their core business concepts and beliefs, while keeping a sharp eye on what we want to achieve in the future. The past – well, I would simply say, learn from it and move on – it’s good for little more than casual reminiscing.

I truly believe that as new challenges arise, new and exciting opportunities will also present themselves in this ever-changing lending environment. The fabulous people of this organization have proven that they clearly have the skills and dedication to succeed and we will ultimately attain our collaborative goals. I myself am excited for the future and the abundant opportunities that lay ahead. I want to personally thank every employee of PRMI for your trust in me, your patience, and your desire for this organization to achieve greatness. Even after all of the rollercoaster rides – highs and lows – headaches and smiles – I cannot think of a business that I would rather be a part of than mortgage banking – and more specifically PRMI. There are very few things that provide me more pleasure than being the CEO of PRMI and witnessing the evolution and maturing of this organization. Thank you for your contributions and for looking out for this special oasis we all respectfully call home. 

Sincerely,

Dave Zitting

CEO
