“WHO IS JOHN KUSKIN?!”
We welcome John in as he gives us an inside look on how he started in the mortgage industry. From Cleveland back to the Meadowlands, John eventually started working for a Mortgage Company right out of college in Pine Brook, NJ.
With a finance background he started in 2002 with “ABSOLUTELY” no background for mortgages. But back in 02 people were buying loans from paper! So, this job that was more shipping than anything! Eventually John got into secondary markets by taking over in the company with a raise. John eventually started to learn from the best, Rich Conforti (Absolutes Executive Vice Pres.) Soon John was taken under Rich’s wing and eventually gravitated to Absolute. John got into some FBI nonsense in his early life…. but we won’t give too much away but listen in to hear all about it. IT WASN’T HIS FAULT!
“You were just rolling through secondary. Yes. And you used to do payroll too. Yeah. For all. Yeah. For absolute. That’s right. Yeah. I forgot about that because no one else knew how to do it and I’m like, well, someone’s got to do it. Right. I’m like, all right, I’ll do it. Yeah. Now, do you remember the first days at, absolutely when you started working with me and I, we, we, we first linked up the two offices via the server and that’s when really linked payroll. Do you remember that when I first gave you file center? Oh yes. Yup. Yeah, we have, we created the funding report. Yeah. And then then the funding report got created. File center, file center. What is this noise? So what do you think about, I mean, have you just been coasting for the past seven years? Yeah, pretty much. That’s it.
So we haven’t, we had this great origin story. Yeah. We get shut down by the FBI. You get a job at Absolute and then it stopped being exciting.. then no more feds. It’s just like kind of doing mortgages, which been boring closes and big volumes. So, I think that you’ve really stepped up, um, in the past like 12 to 18 months. Erica, how quiet was John?- No, he didn’t say a word. Nobody thought he spoke yet. And now he won’t stop talking!
We talked to a couple of people I’d analyze from afar and now he’s in volleyball games. Tons of shouting in volleyball. Yeah. Yeah. He’s actually a really good volleyball player. “
