Colorado mortgage broker wins Corvette giveaway

We're happy to announce that Blake Justus of Clear Creek Mortgage in Golden, Colo., is the winner of a brand new 2005 Corvette Convertible. More than 5,000 mortgage brokers entered the giveaway, which was held to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the launch of Mortgage XSites.

Justus was shocked when he received a call from Brad Eaton, Vice President of Mortgage Products, telling him he'd won the silver sports car. "I couldn't believe it. I was trying to figure out which friend was playing a joke on me," he says.

Justus purchased his Mortgage XSite website, www.clearcreekmortgage.com, in March after working with a trial site for a few weeks. "I like having a professional website I can be proud of and when I meet clients face to face they always tell me they're impressed with it," he says.

The online FlexApp 1003 is one of the most important features for Justus, especially when dealing with out-of-state clients. "It makes it easy to have all of my clients' files electronically in one place," he says.

Justus also likes the convenience of the automatic status updates he receives when a client has completed an application. "I often help customers fill out their applications over the phone and just two seconds after we're done, I'll get an e-mail update notifying me that the application was submitted," he says.
