Sophie Kim of Civic Financial Services Named HousingWire Rising Star 2018
REDONDO BEACH, Calif. (PRWEB) July 16, 2018 -- Civic Financial Services announced Director of Learning and Development, Sophie Kim, has been recognized by HousingWire as a 2018 Rising Star, a distinction given to the top up-and-coming leaders in the mortgage industry. The 46 winners represent a variety of backgrounds and occupations within the housing industry, but all of them exhibit an outsized impact on the industry and the businesses they represent.
“Sophie has played an integral role in the training and development initiatives at CIVIC, including the creation of our elite training program, Top Gun,” said William J. Tessar, President of Civic Financial Services. “Sophie brought the program from concept to reality, and more importantly, she exudes a passion and unwavering commitment to the personal development and professional enrichment of everyone who crosses her path.”
The focus of the Top Gun Program, created by Kim, is to help sales professionals without lending experience learn all aspects of private money lending - the CIVIC way. When CIVIC first began its search for top talent to participate in the coveted program it received 1,186 applications, of which over 100 candidates were interviewed and only 14 were selected. Now seeking candidates for the third class, the program entails a six-week structured course, followed by 6-8 weeks of one-on-one mentorship with senior level Account Executives. After graduating from the program, the Top Gunners then move to a full time Account Executive position with annual earning potential well over $100,000.
Tessar added, “In less than two years of service Sophie has added such a tremendous value to our organization, and I could not be more proud of the recognition the Rising Star bestows upon her.”
“This year’s class of Rising Stars represents the best in young leadership within the mortgage finance arena,” said Caroline Basile, HousingWire’s Online Editor and member of the selection committee. “I’m impressed by the achievements of this year’s winners and look forward to seeing what each of them accomplishes in the mortgage and housing finance economy in the future.”
