Change in terminology

As of July 1st, there are a number of changes coming to mortgage dealings in Ontario. As of that date, people like me, mortgage agents, have to be registered with the Financial Services Commission of Ontario. More to the point, we have to call ourselves mortgage agent.

I used to call myself a "mortgage consultant," since I felt that more clearly described my role, but since the term is no longer available, I chose to comply. (Although I suppose I could call myself "the mortgage agent you would want to consult" -- any thoughts on the appropriate font to use to put that on a business card?)
