An Organization of Financial
Professionals Committed to Integrity and Customer
Service
We've
all seen the demise of the mortgage, real estate, and
financial markets over the past few years. Sure there are
economic issues, but we truly believe that two factors could have
avoided (yes, avoided) the demise of the financial markets and
the economy - Integrity and Consumer Education.
The two
actually go hand in hand; if you have integrity, you will want
to educate your consumers so that they make the best choices
for them , and not just sell them the
highest or near highest commission product; we all saw it
coming. Even as the market started to tighten, banks
(many of whom are no longer in business) were paying higher
commissions to broker selling monthly ARM's. As a
financial professional, I can proudly say that I took no part
in shady business practices, and often turned down business
that just didn't make sense for the customer.
AFPACI is a consumer advocacy group that has created a platform for Financial
Professionals to take a stand for consumers rights.
From a business standpoint, it makes perfect sense; who gets
more referrals, those whose customers feel taken, or those
whose customer feel served? It's a
no-brainer.
