Welcome to the Florida Credit Union Real Estate Network

Network Dedicated to 
Credit Union Real Estate

President's Message 

For more than 100 years the credit unions have provided not for profit financial services to their members across the country and in our great state of Florida. The biggest takeaway that I have seen over the past few years has been the ability to share ideas and best practices within our mortgage industry. Mortgage lending continues to evolve from year to year, we all survived TRID and thought we could take a breath, then here comes the new URLA. This year will not be any different with new regulations, and a more focused transition into full e close.
 
We have had tremendous leaders within the Florida CUREN for many years and I am very excited to work with our current Board of Directors for 2022. We have more than 40 credit unions as active members of our Florida CUREN, the best part is that we have members from all loan levels. Loan Officers, Underwriters, Servicers, and all levels of Management come together to share knowledge and trends. We are looking forward to our upcoming year with our Regional Round Table meetings in March and our Destination Conference in July.
 
Florida CUREN brings together real estate leaders, industry experts, Senior Management within our credit unions, service providers, and various business partners to bring value, new ideas and education to our attendees at our events. The ability to collaborate with others in the industry is second to none in the credit union workspace—as we compare ourselves to other lenders in the Mortgage industry! We all live by the saying, “people helping people”, the same applies to the CUREN, “credit unions helping credit unions”!!
 
Look forward to a great year, once again, for the Florida CUREN- and here is our Board for this year:
