May 19, 2005 -- MLoan, the new automated underwriting (AU) system from Mortgage Lenders Network USA, Inc. (MLN) is so easy to use that MLN has partnered with the publishers of the wildly
popular For Dummies guides to help write its training manual.
MLoan for Dummies is a first-of-its-kind handbook that helps "simplify" MLN's new AU tool for mortgage brokers. The For Dummies books use a lighthearted approach to teach people a new
topic or provide a quick refresher.
Although written in an amusing and engaging tone, MLoan for Dummies, printed in the signature yellow and black colors, explains MLoan's features in a simplistic way, such as how to import
loans from loan origination software (LOS), pull free credit reports, and much more.
The handbook isn't the only entertaining item brokers will find when they receive their direct mail MLoan introductory kit. To communicate that MLoan is "putting a new spin on AU," MLN
has included a colorful toy top and a mini-CD that contains a short, informative overview of MLoan.
James Pedrick, Executive Vice President of MLN, said MLoan for Dummies provides brokers with two important services that have been overlooked with the advent of AU systems: good customer
service and proper AU system training.
"Before introducing MLoan, we did a sufficient amount of broker research," said Pedrick. "We learned that brokers were dissatisfied with the customer service and the lack of training
provided for AU systems. MLN prides itself on exceptional customer service and with the launch of our new AU system, we wanted to assure brokers that we are bringing this philosophy to
MLoan."
Pedrick added that MLN's partnership with For Dummies is a perfect fit with MLN's business philosophy - exceptional customer service and smarter business solutions. "MLN knows how busy
the average broker is and the difficulties associated with learning a new AU system. MLoan for Dummies is a tongue-in-cheek way of reassuring brokers how easy MLoan is to learn and
use."
