MILA, INC. TO PARTICIPATE AS PREMIER SPONSOR AT WASHINGTON ASSOCIATION OF MORTGAGE BROKERS (WAMB) NORTHWEST WHOLESALE LENDERS CONFERENCE

Mountlake Terrace, WA – MILA, Inc., the wholesale non-prime lender also doing business as Mortgage Investment Lending Associates today announced its premier sponsorship of the Washington Association of Mortgage Brokers (WAMB) Northwest Wholesale Lenders Conference in Bellevue, WA on September 10, 2004. The Washington Association of Mortgage Brokers provides education, certification and governmental affairs representation for the mortgage broker industry.

Located in a double booth (booth numbers 413 and 512), MILA’s sales representatives will be ready to demonstrate AccessPoint, MILA’s online loan management system and automated underwriting system. Additionally, the sales representatives will be able to explain MILA’s “no manual underwriting” process flow and provide details on the loan programs important to Washington borrowers.

“As Washington’s local lender, MILA is dedicated to helping the Washington mortgage industry advance through leading-edge technologies and efficient process flows,” said Layne Sapp, MILA CEO. “MILA’s presence at the WAMB show will help demonstrate how MILA can help Washington brokers build the business, and ultimately transform the way they process loans. This will help brokers increase their efficiencies and service a greater volume of borrowers.”

MILA is also the sole host of the Mardi Gras themed hospitality suite that will close the convention. MILA’s reception will take place from 7 p.m. – 11 p.m. at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue. If you plan to attend the hospitality event, please send an email to rsvp@mila.com with your name, company name and number of guests.

MILA continues to enhance its cutting-edge technology as it prepares for future growth. In 2004, MILA launched Broker University, a training program designed to teach brokers how to get the most out of MILA’s streamlined loan process. Once brokers complete this course, closing an Alt-A or non-conforming loan is as easy as closing “A” paper. MILA also plans to release an enhanced version of AccessPoint later this year.

MILA offers a broad range of alternative mortgage-lending products in 26 states and is one of the fastest growing mortgage lenders in the nation. In addition to helping brokers manage their loans, MILA’s technology provides brokers with a fast, consistent loan experience every time.
