“We are looking to increase our web-based lead volume and have been disappointed with our traffic so far. We have excellent programs for any mortgage loan situation including bad credit but with so much online competition it is tough to be noticed on a field with so many players, ” continues Williams.

“Partnering with Christian Okoye will give us the visual edge over the competition that we need. We feel that with Christian’s nationwide popularity and outstanding reputation, mortgage shoppers who are football or Kansas City Chiefs fans will gravitate to us. Once they do, we are confident that we can meet their needs,” concludes Williams.
