Bass has worked as a Contract Underwriter for 3 major Mortgage Insurance Companies as well as underwritten for several major lending institutions.

During her time at different underwriting assignments she found she spent most of her day on the phone with mortgage brokers helping them restructure their files, explaining the mortgage process and explaining the basic mortgage fundamentals. Despite time constraints, pipelines and the end of the month rush she managed to help all of brokers. She began offering weekend seminars when she could. Although she wanted to help them all it was just not possible, a majority of these originators were in different states.
