Marty Smith

Ventura County's Certified Divorce Lending Professional

What a CDLP® can do for you

While a typical mortgage professional simply helps you complete paperwork and ensures your application is processed in a timely fashion, a CDLP® works directly with the divorce team to incorporate divorce mortgage planning into the overall process with a unique and solid understanding of the intersection of family law, financial and tax planning, real property, and mortgage financing.

​

Ideally, you should get a CDLP® involved in the divorce process as soon as possible. If you wait until you’ve already started resolving issues via mediation or arbitration, you risk coming up with a plan that isn’t truly in your best interests. In addition, proactively involving a CDLP® prevents unnecessary headaches. A CDLP® can help demystify the mortgage planning process by answering questions.

 

​Make more informed decisions regarding your home equity or purchase solutions by working directly with a Certified Divorce Lending Professional.
