May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, a time for recognizing their significant contributions to the history, culture, and achievements in the United States. (Go here to learn more.)
At APM, we wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about our APM Family and what their history, culture, and heritage means to them.
To celebrate Black History Month, we've asked a few of our employees to share what Black History means to them. Acknowledging and celebrating the key achievements of Black Americans throughout our country's history gives us all an important opportunity to reflect on the past and strive for a better, more equitable future for all.
2020 was quite a year in every way, and one where community organizations and charities around the country needed our help more than ever. In addition to very high levels of need due to the economic effects of the pandemic, organizations also had to adapt to how they operate to keep everyone safe.
All of this created a perfect storm, with organizations desperately needing more support than ever. As a company, we’re proud of our team members’ continued efforts and focus on the communities they serve during these challenging times. With their help through donations and nominations, APMCares, our nonprofit, was able to give back in a big way in 2020.
For Hispanic Heritage Month, APM celebrated all month long by highlighting some of our Hispanic team members who are going the extra mile to make our company and the communities we serve better places to be. We’re so grateful for everything these team members are doing and want to thank them for sharing their stories with us.
One of the best ways to stave off fear, worry and anxiety about COVID-19 and its impacts is to focus on the positive. We all know that’s easier said than done, but this task is made a whole lot easier if you can turn your energy into something meaningful, particularly for others.
Real estate is a localized market. You wouldn’t ask a Midtown Manhattan real estate agent whether you should buy a four-bedroom, three-bath home with a detached garage in Cleveland, right? Just as you wouldn’t ask a Los Angeles mechanic to winterize your Pennsylvania car, or your Dallas-based colleague what she thinks about the public school system in Seattle.
We are proud to share that American Pacific Mortgage has moved up to #12 in the Scotsman Guide Top Mortgage Lender rankings, up two spaces from last year!
While we’re now licensed in 32 states, we achieved this honor while being licensed in just 26 states, whereas nearly every other top 15 Lender was licensed in all 50 states. With pending licenses in 5 more states we’re growing strong.
