********@**********.***
Customer Service Professional with decades of experience working with all levels of customers. I have worked in and out of office environments. I work best alone, but I like to have a team that I can be a part of. I have no difficulty remaining motivated to do the work that is expected. I am a rule follower. Sometimes calls come in where the rules are difficult to explain and do not seem to make sense. I pride myself in handling even the most difficult calls with kindness and professionalism.
I am seeking a position that allows me to continue to work from my home office. I have done so successfully since 2005. I am intelligent, articulate, hard working and loyal. If I need to learn software or specific terminology for your industry, I can and will do so. I am a gifted writer and an excellent communicator. I can sell and my outgoing personality is well suited for customer service.
Summary of Accomplishments

Answering incoming calls from members who are unfamiliar with the client's website. I assist callers who have all levels of computer expertise, from programers to retirees who struggle with the most basic tasks. Explain the difficult guidelines and rules involving timeshare ownership and how best to utilize the caller's investment.

I worked in all aspects of the residential origination process, from the initial contact with the borrower, gathering of all documentation, putting together a quality package for the underwriter to review, then assisting in explaining the process of closing the loan. I also worked on many large and complex commercial loan packages.
