MOUNTLAKE TERRACE, Wash. – February 10, 2006 – Today MILA Inc., a leading e-commerce wholesale lender based in Mountlake Terrace, Washington, was recognized at the Better Business Bureau’s 2005 Business Award Ceremony with the Innovative Business Practice award for large businesses. This is the second year in a row MILA has been recognized by the Better Business Bureau, having won the Customer Service award in 2004.
“This award is a testament to the culture of forward-thinking we have at MILA with people who work hard to always see beyond the status quo to deliver superior results for our customers,” explained Layne Sapp, MILA’s founder and CEO. “Accepting this award on their behalf in front of the regions’ top businesses was a milestone moment for our company.”
The Mountlake Terrace e-commerce lender is on the cutting edge of innovative technology, delivering closed loans in hours and days, not weeks and months. It’s proprietary loan management and decisioning tool, AccessPoint, has been central to the company’s recent growth of more than 800 percent. With 46,000-plus brokers across the nation using the lender’s unique tool to not just originate loans but manage their business, MILA is pioneering a new future for the mortgage industry.
“I’ve been in this business since I received my Real Estate license at the age of 18,” Sapp continued, “the kind of innovation we’re seeing today at MILA may very well do to the mortgage industry what online travel did to the travel industry; empowering brokers and borrowers to own more of the loan process.”
The Better Business Bureau’s Business of the Year category awards go to one large and one small business with the highest scores in either Customer Service, Community Involvement or Innovative Business Practices. This is the second year in a row MILA has been honored at the annual ceremony, having won the Customer Service award previously.
