Our employees expect us to help them do their best.

When it comes to empowering our sales professionals, Countrywide's Consumer Markets Division (CMD) has what we believe is a unique, yet highly effective business philosophy.  We offer our sales professionals:

  • the Power  (the strength of the Countrywide brand, with approval and funding at the local level)
  • the Products  (one of the widest ranges of loans and services in the industry)
  • the Potential  (high visibility, emerging markets, and more) 
  • the Personalized Support (full- or part-time trained staff for qualified sales personnel)

The Power
First and foremost, our sales professionals benefit from the power of the Countrywide brand – our reputation in the industry, our unique fulfillment model where operations and sales share the same leadership, and the recognition we’ve garnered from such prestigious publications as Forbes, Barron’s, Fortune 500 , and more.

We flex our power at the local level too. At Countrywide, our loan consultants can benefit from a significant advantage - our flexible pricing structure that allows us to delegate price discretion at the point of origination. In turn, this further empowers our loan consultants to help their customer base make the right decisions, which allows the loan consultant to maximize lead conversion. Powerful stuff.

The Products
Whatever the risk scenario, whatever the income level, Countrywide offers loan programs designed to meet just about every customer's needs. In fact, we have one of the widest ranges of competitive loan programs in the industry. That can help turn more sales opportunities into new business. 

  • No- or low-down payment programs
  • Programs with low monthly payments
  • Minimal paperwork programs
  • First-time homebuyer loans
  • Lot loans and construction-to-permanent financing
  • Low and middle-income borrower programs
  • Programs for credit scenarios across the spectrum

The Potential
Multicultural Markets. Here's an opportunity that isn't just knocking, it's kicking down doors: Countrywide's very aggressive Multicultural Markets initiative and national marketing campaign helps its loan consultants to penetrate traditionally underserved markets such as Hispanic, African American, Asian and other important communities in a big way. In fact, we think there's so much opportunity to be developed in these markets, we've publicly committed to funding $1 trillion in home loans between 2001 and 2010 to previously underserved borrowers and communities. As a mortgage lender, we are determined to play a critical role in ensuring that the dream of home ownership is available to everyone.

High Visibility - The nationally-recognized Countrywide® name and message are well represented at major Builder and Real Estate trade shows throughout the year. Leads generated from these shows are routed directly back to the appropriate division or branch for local follow-up.

TV & Radio Support - Countrywide's award-winning advertising agency produces breakthrough national broadcast and print campaigns to strengthen our brand reputation and name recognition. That helps generate interest and drives even more business to our loan consultants.

The Personalized Support
At Countrywide, our sales professionals use valuable personalized tools we put at their disposal.

  • Customized Web Page - This portal is a valuable hub featuring loan consultants' personal contact information, preferred business links, and direct access for managing their book of business.  The loan consultant's own web page is designed to help harness the power of the Internet to reach consumers and business contacts.
  • Personal and Product Promotion - Our loan consultants don't have to call on business contacts empty-handed. We offer an impressive selection of promotional items to showcase their name and contact information in a professional, eye-catching way.
  • Sales-Driven Marketing - An array of audience-focused marketing solutions is available to be personalized with loan consultants' name and contact information.
  • High-Impact Advertising - Countrywide has an extensive and effective stockpile of advertising options, tailored for each loan consultant's local marketing objectives.
  • Market-Proven Sales Materials - To help win and keep new business, loan consultants can take advantage of our exceptional range of carefully crafted product sheets, letters, presentations, press releases and campaigns.
  • Accreditation - As sales climb, loan consultants can qualify for elite Customer Certification and Sales Leadership programs.

Advanced Training for Advanced Success.  Our industry leading satellite and web based training programs allow for timely delivery of needed information to help get the job done.  Whether it's our online and offline sales training programs that are available 24/7, or regional sales meetings held throughout the year, we have designed a comprehensive and robust curriculum of programs that cover loan operations, technical operations, sales, management, and other key areas of our industry.
