The Annual Convention & Grand Exposition, held every August, is the largest gathering of mortgage brokers and exhibitors in the West, and one of the largest in the nation. Yearly, more than 3,500 people attend the convention for education, networking, social events, and to make business contacts. If you only attend one event a year, make it the CAMB Annual Convention & Grand Exposition!

On October 3, 2007 and again on February 21, 2008 from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., CAMB partnered with KCRA Channel 3 on their Consumer Call-in program to respond to consumers' questions about their mortgages. CAMB members fielded over 1,000 calls and emails from consumers throughout the day. There are 250 major media markets in the United States; the Sacramento market ranks 19th with KCRA broadcasting to approximately 15 counties in northern California. KCRA officials were very pleased with the call volume and the level of knowledge and expertise that the CAMB members provided to consumers. KCRA stated that the call volume for this consumer mortgage program broke call-in volume records. If consumers missed the opportunity to speak with a CAMB member mortgage broker today, they can call the free consumer mortgage hotline at (866) 999.5508 or click on the Find A Broker button, or click the CONSUMER button on this page and be directed to additional information.

CAMB Warns Consumers About Misleading Advertisements to Pay Off Holiday Debt
CAMB is warning consumers to be aware of advertisements that encourage consumers to refinance their homes in order to pay off holiday debt. Numerous advertisements have been appearing across the state in mailboxes and on fax machines offering loan programs with various incentives from free appraisals to no loan fees. The same advertisements also claim to offer loan programs with rates as low as 1 percent and some are even lower. These ads also state that consumers with poor credit or a recent bankruptcy or foreclosure can get approved for these loans. |
