As most of you have read earlier in this blog, I am a loans officer at a bank.  Now, most days are quite routine – a car loan or two, some mortgage applications and that is about it.  In some respects, my job is a little boring as each day is very similar to one another.  Now it has been like this up to this point, but on Friday I had a different experience.

You see Friday started out like most days.  I had an appointment for a car loan as well as a couple of mortgages.  There was also an appointment for a home refinance for one of the bank’s richer clients, so I thought that would be interesting.  I did the motions of the day, eager to get to the rich client as his meeting with me promised to be interesting.

As 2:30 rolled around, it was time for the appointment.  He was in for a mortgage refinance – but not an ordinary one.  He came to get a jumbo loan refinance – that is a mortgage valued at over $417,000!  In fact, he is my record for the largest mortgage I have ever issued.

I left work that day feeling good – for a change work was a little less ordinary.
