WCR teamed up with the Michigan Mortgage Lenders Association (MMLA) for a special event. It's February and love in the air. Members came and met professionals that they will LOVE to work with! This was a fun networking event that mimicked speed dating. People asked questions to get to know each other before the timer was up. After the timer sounded, we moved onto the next person. Whether you are a Realtor, lender, title person, inspector, or stager, everyone was welcome. This game guaranteed you will make a handful of connections and hopefully "Meet Your Match". Your perfect business match!
