New American Funding is proud to announce that Minh Tong has joined the company as Director of Training. Tong’s role at New American Funding will be to develop a comprehensive training platform to provide ongoing training for both call center and retail loan originators who work closely with the real estate community.

After graduating from NYU in 2001, Tong moved to California and launched his career in the mortgage industry.   This new career soon opened many doors for Tong, and ultimately ended up being the perfect fit. After originating loans for several years, he began to create a specialized loan officer training program that has thus far allowed him to help over 750 mortgage loan originators pass the National Licensing Exam (SAFE). Tong has also administered over 2,500 State exams.

In his new position at New American Funding, Tong states: “I really hope to create a program that is fun, exciting and challenging, yet provides an atmosphere where people want to learn… I’ve always had a [desire] to learn more and I want to make sure that I spread that as well as making sure that everyone has an opportunity to learn.”

With New American Funding’s continued growth, bringing on Tong’s wealth of knowledge and expertise is another way the company sets itself apart in their dedication of investing in the future of the company and its employees.
