Eleanor Thorne’s Summary
Licensed NC Mortgage Lender and serial entreprenuer, working as a team with my husband, Steve Thorne. Uniquely native to the Triangle Area, we see ourselves differently than most "street" loan officers.
We've both been involved in many stages of Mortgage Lending since the early 1980's. There is a vision that drives us to do what we do. Simply put, we want to help you create the financial strategy that allows you to live life to the fullest. That requires that together we establish goals, define priorities and determine what's most important to your financial picture.
Not only are we experienced in mortgage lending, as three time receipients of the Triangle Business Journal's Fast 50 Award, we act as mentors and advisors for our referral partners. Building successful teams, and sharing proven methods for accountability attract other successful entrepreneurs to us.
We are currently promoting http://www.rebarcamprdu.com a meeting that will take place on November 6th in Raleigh to promote Social Media Networking within the Real Estate Community.
