CAPITAL MORTGAGE FUNDING THE BEST MORTGAGE BANKER Residential mortgage bankers build relationships as they finance home mortgages. th an emphasis on hard work and personal service, Capital Mortgage Funding co-founders Harry Glanz and Daniel Burke are cel- ebrating the 10th anniversary this spring of their residential mortgage- banking firm. "As one of the largest, independent- ly owned mortgage banks in southeastern Michigan" in an industry where con- solidation is not unusual, Glanz said, "we've closed more than $4 billion in mortgage transac- tions over the last 10 years." As an accredited Fannie Mae (FNMA) Seller-Servicer and FHA Direct Endorsed Lender, Capital Mortgage Funding underwrites and funds its own transactions. Glanz credits Capital Mortgage Funding's staff, many of them longtime, for the corn- pany's continuing success. "We've assembled a staff that works very well together and with our client base," he said. Building personal relation- ships with clients is the No. 1 priority to Capital Mortgage Funding. Unlike the principals at other companies, Glanz and Burke totally involve themselves in the day-to-day operations. Wi "That allows us to give our clients personal attention," Glanz said, and helps facilitate another reason for their compa- ny's growth: customer referrals. "It's not unusual for us to do mortgage transactions for entire Jewish and hoping to buy in Oak Park or Southfield, Glanz and company will recommend they contact an interest-free loan program especially for them. It is offered through the Jewish Federation of families," Glanz said. The partners feel "a nice sense of accomplishment," he adds, in seeing people move up from a home that they originally financed with Capital Mortgage Funding. Perhaps the most rewarding of the services they provide is enabling first-time buyers to obtain financing for a home. When their customers are Metropolitan Detroit's Neighborhood Project, which Glanz served previously as chairman. That kind of helpful attitude extends to Capital Mortgage Funding's community involve- ment. We offer various home- buying seminars to update the consumer on mortgage options," Glanz said. Raising funds for children's charities through their compa- IN 4/12 2002 20 Advertisement ny's Michael Yendick Foundation is very important to the partners. The Foundation honors the memory of Glanz' brother-in-law, who died of colon cancer in December 2000. Because the 37-year-old Yendick loved children, a golf outing held in 2001 raised thousands of dollars for them through the Crohn's Colitis Foundation of America. Up to 100 children with the ail- ments will be sent to the Michael Yendick Camp Adventure, July 28-Aug. 2, at Tamarack Camps in Ortonville. The Foundation's next charity golf outing is Aug. 21, again at Pine Knob Golf Club in Clarkston. Glanz encourages anyone in the market to refinance a current home or purchase a new one to contact Capital Mortgage Funding for details on its many pro- grams and no-obliga- tion pre-approval. "We are the only firm in the area to offer Guaranteed Mortgage Approval," he said. "If we can't secure financing, we will return your application fee."
