BNI Member Spotlight:

Deb Frank holds the mortgage seat at BNI Newton Connectors. Here’s a sped-up look at her 10-minute BNI presentation — which is fitting, because anyone who knows Deb knows she talks fast enough in real time 😅💨

In today’s presentation, Deb highlighted Metro Credit Union’s nonconforming 30-year fixed-rate product, a powerful option for a homebuyer who may not fit neatly into traditional lending programs. Her passion for educating and advocating for new buyers always shines through, and she continues to be a trusted resource for families looking to achieve homeownership.

In late October we got to hear an engaging 10-minute presentation from Jed Murphy, Branch Manager at Rockland Trust in Newtonville — and wow, he delivered.

Jed walked us through why “Every Relationship Matters,” sharing how he builds trust, supports clients through every financial season, and ensures each person who walks through his doors feels valued. It was a perfect reminder of the power of strong, intentional relationships in both business and community.

If you or someone you know is looking for a banking partner who genuinely cares, Jed is your guy.
