Chris Brown Earns Certified Mortgage Planning Specialist (CMPS) Designation.

LAKE MARY – Chris Brown, a Sr. Equity Manager with Trinity Mortgage Company, has passed the qualifying exams with a 97% to earn the Certified Mortgage Planning Specialist (CMPS) Designation granted by the CMPS Institute, a training and certifying organization created to help mortgage professionals integrate financial planning concepts into the mortgage process. CMPS designees can offer clients strategies that encompass mortgages, debt, home equity and real estate investment.

"The time has passed where a mortgage loan can be viewed as a stand alone transaction," says Chris. "It simply must be viewed as a financial instrument that is tied to your long and short term personal financial plan. This allows you to create a debt strategy that is in harmony with building long term wealth for you and your family."

Many homeowners have become frustrated and confused with the myriad of choices in today’s mortgage market and the lack of both ethics and financial knowledge among many mortgage providers. The CMPS Institute is a joint effort by leaders in the mortgage and financial planning industries to raise professional standards among mortgage professionals and integrate sound financial planning advice into the mortgage process.

Life expectancy is higher than ever before, health costs are skyrocketing, pensions are shrinking, social security is not secure and corporate has gone through one bankruptcy after another. Today’s mortgage market can be a dangerous place for some consumers with certain real estate markets experiencing signs of a "bubble" and "exotic" mortgages representing a greater market share than ever before. These signs point to the fact that home owners and buyers need expert advice on how to manage their mortgage, cash flow and home equity.

This trend toward expert mortgage advice is growing in popularity. "A mortgage professional who dedicates the time and effort to learn about these financial concepts is much more qualified, committed and equipped to serve the complex needs of today’s home owner and buyer," says Gibran Nicholas, Chairman of the CMPS Institute.

The CMPS curriculum incorporates the essential skill sets to properly advise consumers in all facets of mortgage financing and structuring including:

· Financial market and interest rate analysis

· Cash flow analysis

· Debt analysis

· Real estate equity management

· Real estate investment analysis
