realtors: Why Don't Lender "Partners" help Build Realtor's Business? - 11/21/09 09:22 AM

I run a region, run a branch and yes, I originate loans as well. I spend a lot of time recruiting on top of that. I'm amazed at what I hear from lenders. Realtors want loan officers to help them build their business. They don't want them to create their business. If lenders could do that they'd be realtors, but we've been called into lending and not real estate sales.
I've interviewed well over 200 lenders since I began recruiting folks a few years ago and am amazed that there is such a disparity in lender capabilities. As individuals, there are … (7 comments)

realtors: I met Great People at Re/Max Yesterday - 10/10/07 10:09 PM

Yesterday, I was able to do a presentation to about 30+ realtors in Plymouth Wisconsin. Last week, Bill Cain, the broker, had asked me to drive up and give a pick up and inspirational message to the fine real estate office in Plymouth. His office has received many awards nationally through Re/Max nationally. They're big power players and I felt that it was a great opportunity to motivate great people. I've been doing speaking engagements for more than 3 years now and have come to this conclusion in life....I think that my motto can be based off of the following. "If … (5 comments)

realtors: Loan Officers referring contracts to realtors - 09/25/07 11:48 PM

I saw a post not too long ago from a realtor who opposes loan officers giving realtors buyers to buy homes. I'm curious...why would a realtor think that way? One reason is that perhaps the realtor will feel "beholden" to the originator. Another reason is possibly the realtor thinks that the loan officer screwed the homebuyer and that since now the L.O. only needs a contract, if the realtor cooperates with the lender, then they are "complicit" in the shady deal that takes advantage of a homebuyer. Both are valid points. However, I need to ask a couple of questions, but … (24 comments)

Only a few companies in Illinois have this program. This allows you to have the pictures, prices, addresses and directions of every MLS listing without being bothered by an agent or lender.

realtors: American Finally Shuts its doors - Indy Mac Cherry Picks remnants - 08/03/07 09:00 AM

I have talked to my friends at American Home Mortgage. I guess Indy Mac has taken a lot of the branches out west and has "cherry picked" some of the other branches....

The Salt Lake Tribune said yesterday, that American Home Mortgage Investment Corp., which raised fears this week that it may become insolvent, has told employees that the company planned to shut its doors today. The closing points to the broadening of problems in the credit market to segments even above the sub-prime markets. The company's 7,000 employees were told by managers Thursday that today will be their last day … (6 comments)
