anthem arizona real estate: How do you react when a client goes with another agent? - 12/02/08 09:24 PM
This is how one of my top agent responds when a client chooses to go a different direction! They sent me this letter as a sample of how they handle the situation. After they send this letter they have a follow up system to make the client feel special and continue to take the blame for the mistake, I asked them how many clients come back and they say over 75% return in a few weeks/months. What if all of us responded this way...... how much more business would we have and how many times would our names be passed out?

anthem arizona real estate: Mortgage applicants rejoice! - 09/08/08 07:09 PM
Mortgage applicants rejoice! Sunday's federal takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will likely translate into lower mortgage rates and greater availability of credit, experts said. Rates could drop by 1 percentage point from the stubbornly-high 6.39% for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage. Mortgage rates borrowers pay are dependent on the yields that investors demand when buying mortgage-backed securities from Fannie and Freddie. Investors' doubts about the companies' viability have sent interest rates on those securities soaring. Despite regulators' July promise that they would step in to save the mortgage companies, investors are still demanding rates of 2.25% to 2.45% above

MMG Update - Wednesday, August 20, 2008 9:35am ET Current Trend Direction: Poking Above Resistance at the 50-day MA Risks favor: Floating Current Price of FNMA 6.0% Bond: $100.97, +72bp After three days of butting up against resistance at the 50-day Moving Average, Mortgage Bonds have poked above this ceiling. But stay tuned, prices are already off the best levels of the day and the Bond has only closed above this ceiling of resistance twice in the past three months - so this will be a tough ceiling to crack.
