On a Personal Note

I often tell my friends that 99% of the time, I love the mortgage business absolutely passionately. The other 1% of the time... well, let's face it - it is a demanding and often stressful line of work. I can truly say that I consider myself very blessed to have found a profession that is both so tremendously challenging and rewarding, and I look forward to the future that lies ahead.

The relationships I have formed with clients, business partners, and associates are the  most important part of my daily business. I have a deep commitment to consistently living up to my word, and giving those relationships the attention and dedication they deserve.

Outside of the office, I strive to live up to this same commitment with my church, friends and most of all to my wife and children.

Sometimes people will ask what I like to do with my free time. Although "free time" is a fairly scarce asset for me, I answer that I do love to go to the beach, and watch my two boys play soccer and football, and visit East Carolina University where my daughter goes to college. But mostly, I pour my time, energy and passion into my church, career and my family.

I believe that passion is at the very heart of what it takes to be successful in business and in life. One of my very favorite quotes is by Thoreau:

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams!
Live the life you've imagined."

And this would be my wish for you as well.

I truly look forward to working with you during the years ahead, and growing our businesses and lives together.

Very sincerely yours -

Mickey Walker
