The Association of Independent Mortgage Experts (AIME), a non-profit trade association that supports independent mortgage brokers and wholesale mortgage professionals, unveils a partnership with Vetted VA, an organization dedicated to providing a national support system of VA loan education for Veteran and Active Duty Service Member homebuyers.
This partnership will solidify efforts to bring critical resources to mortgage loan originators in the broker channel, with the end goal to support veterans, active duty service members and their families in achieving homeownership. By collaborating, the two organizations will increase the amount of VA home loan resources available to independent mortgage brokers and will continue to advocate for veteran and active duty borrowers, they said.
“It’s crucial for the broker channel to support those who have given so much in service of our country — and that begins with collaboration and education,” said Katie Sweeney, CEO of AIME. “Through this partnership, we will be able to jointly combine our networks of VA home loan experts and independent originators for the betterment of the military community and their families.”
Prior to this partnership, Sweeney has been serving in an advisory capacity with Vetted VA. Combined, the two organizations will bring together over 250,000 people focused on providing homeownership to veterans and active duty borrowers across the country. Vetted VA will collaborate with AIME to support education for the association’s members and join their active lobbying efforts at the Federal and State levels.
“We are advocates for VA Home Loan eligible homebuyers. We understand that they deserve the best resources available to them during the homebuying process; well-educated professionals understand freedom of choice and opportunity,” said Christopher Griffith, founder of Vetted VA. “It makes sense for us to combine our efforts to show the greatest strength in numbers we possibly can in support of all service members past, present and future.”
