Mortgage associations join forces

FORT COLLINS – Legal assistance and lobbyists are two of the benefits Northern Colorado mortgage lenders now have after their local association was dissolved and subsequently taken over by a statewide group.The Northern Colorado Mortgage Lenders Association voted earlier this year to let the Colorado Mortgage Lenders Association absorb its membership in an effort to solidify representation and strengthen benefits for members. The takeover recently was completed.
“The transition has been slow,´ said Karen Sipes, branch manager at CTX Mortgage Co. of Fort Collins and president of what now is the Northern Colorado chapter of the Colorado Mortgage Lenders Association.
