Craig S. Higdon graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Southern California. He subsequently earned a Masters in Business Administration from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland. After leaving school, he decided that he did not look good wearing a pocket protector and calculator on his belt, so he consequently took a job on Wall Street as a retail stock broker. This began 25 years of work in the financial services sector where he held jobs as an investment banker, business owner, mortgage broker, and eventually as a direct lender.
Mr. Higdon has been in the mortgage business since 1993 and is a licensed Real Estate Broker in the state of California. He has been a member of the California Association of Mortgage Brokers (CAMB), the National Association of Mortgage Brokers (NAMB), The National Association of Realtors (NAR), and the California Mortgage Association (CMA). He is currently a member of the International Councils of Shopping Centers (ICSC).
Mr. Higdon has extensive background in both residential and commercial mortgage loan transactions, including significant construction loan experience. His personal mission is to help real estate investors enjoy the benefits of debt-free, high cash flow commercial property by helping them pay down their commercial mortgages quickly. Thus he is a champion of accelerating re-payment of commercial mortgage debt.
He has another mission related specifically to the mortgage industry. As a second degree black belt in Shaolin Kenpo, he considers it his personal duty to protect real estate investors from commercial loan misinformation and inadequately trained mortgage brokers. Thus he has authored a complete course and developed an on-going coaching program geared towards helping mortgage brokers reach the next level in their commercial mortgage professional development.
