DC Tripodi Has Been Recognized Among the Top in His Industry by the Expert Network©

Basking Ridge, NJ, July 18, 2017 (Newswire.com) - DC Tripodi, Mortgage Loan Officer, Affinity Federal Credit Union, has joined The Expert Network©, an invitation-only service for distinguished professionals. Tripodi has been chosen as a Distinguished Mortgage Professional™ based on peer reviews and ratings, dozens of recognitions, and accomplishments achieved throughout his career.

Tripodi outshines others in his field due to his numerous awards and recognitions, outstanding customer service, and career longevity. After studying mathematics and business administration at Muhlenberg College, he worked as a branch manager for the United National Bank focusing on bank operations, commercial lending, and home equity programs. He also had the opportunity to work as the manager of Business Development for a behavioral assessment company, which he credits with helping him to understand the multitude of personalities he deals with in his current career. When he transitioned towards mortgage lending in 2001, he discovered he had an aptitude for the work, welcoming the challenge of understanding and learning guidelines for many different loan types.

My experience helps me to understand different personalities in the sales world and understand different approaches to helping people make their home buying decisions. I have worked for very large financial institutions as well as smaller lending companies and these past employers helped me grow an understanding of sales and its many layers. It has given me a solid understanding of the real estate world and in gaining relationships with financial professionals.

With 16 years of experience, Tripodi brings a wealth of knowledge to his industry and, in particular, his area of expertise, residential loans and lending services. When asked what inspired him to pursue a career in mortgages, Tripodi said:

"I felt like I understood people, and when you understand people, you have a knack for sales. And I considered my experience in banking and some experience in business management and behavioral assessment, and I felt like mortgage lending would allow me to combine several talents I already had."

Now working with Affinity, Tripodi offers a broad range of home financing and refinancing options. Commenting on Affinity's newest financing program he said:

"I tell a lot of my clients to ask me about our new program: 100 percent financing on single family homes, condos, and townhomes. Borrowers must meet lending criteria. We also offer very competitive jumbo interest-only products."

As a thought-leader in his industry, it is important for Tripodi to keep his clients and potential clients educated on all things mortgage related. As such, he hosts numerous first-time buyer seminars designed to answer all questions about the home buying process. Most recently he hosted one on the dos and don'ts of home buying and one on jumbo loans. With such influence, he is sure to keep his eye on prevailing trends within the mortgage industry and in particular to the shortage of homes the market is now seeing. He noted:

"There is currently a lot of pent-up demand, but not much supply, so there are many buyers making offers on the same property. It seems that a lot of families are focused on locations close to train stations for easier commuting, so those neighborhoods are especially having difficulty when it comes to people looking to buy easily. My experience helps me to understand different personalities in the sales world and understand different approaches to helping people make their home buying decisions. I have worked for very large financial institutions as well as smaller lending companies and these past employers helped me grow an understanding of sales and its many layers. It has given me a solid understanding of the real estate world and in gaining relationships with financial professionals."

Tripodi is a member of the Hunterdon-Somerset Association of REALTORS® and the Passaic, NJ County Board of REALTORS®. He also is a dedicated volunteer with the Sunshine Kids Foundation.
