Having spent his entire professional career within the mortgage industry, Dickstein has worked in such capacities as loan funder, underwriter, processor, loan officer and residential appraiser. For the past decade, he has specialized in all aspects of regulatory compliance on behalf of Pro Teck’s clients — working diligently to determine what regulations/statutes/laws a client must adhere to.
