Meet Nathanael Blake, one of the newest members of Claremont Savings Bank (CSB). Nathanael joined CSB in September 2024, demonstrating remarkable initiative and an unwavering commitment to advancing his knowledge in the lending industry. His dedication paid off swiftly, as he was promoted to Mortgage Loan Originator in January 2025.
Nathanael’s enthusiasm and drive are truly inspiring. His recent achievement of completing the ABA Residential Mortgage Lender Certificate through CFTEA is a testament to his hard work and determination. This certification has provided him with a comprehensive understanding of the mortgage lending process, including detailed knowledge of loan estimates, FHA loan options, and the role of mortgage brokers.
Reflecting on his experience, Nathanael shared, “It was very informative and had a lot of great information in the modules. It gave a very detailed overview of everything in regards to the process, from what the loan estimate shows to the different loans that FHA offers to what a mortgage broker is and how they work. Has it prepared me for the Mortgage Lending position? I definitely believe so! Overall, I think it was a great start to learning the processes and gave me confidence that I did not have already. Thank you for allowing me to take the classes!”
Claremont Savings Bank has every confidence that Nathanael will thrive in his new position and make a significant impact on their institution. His enthusiasm and dedication serve as an inspiration to his colleagues and an example of what hard work and continuous learning can achieve.
As Nathanael continues to grow and succeed, CFTEA is proud of the opportunity to be part of his journey.
