RBC Mortgage Company, one of the nation's leading residential mortgage companies, announced today that senior mortgage consultant Michael J. Fontana has been elected president of the Michigan Mortgage Lenders Association (MMLA). His first priorities include addressing pending mortgage bills in Michigan's legislature, expanding MMLA's membership base and promoting both consumer and member education.
In addition to Fontana's MMLA responsibilities, he will continue to originate loans for RBC Mortgage's Troy, Michigan, office. "I cannot put a dollar amount on the learning and exposure to the business I will experience in this new role. It's a great opportunity to become even more involved in the industry at a time when many important changes are about to take place. Plus, I think it is important for all mortgage professionals to take the time to give back to the industry that has given them so much success," said Fontana.
