albuquerque: The 10 Commandments of Networking - Raising The Bar - 02/24/09 09:28 AM

Comparing the Competition in the Local Mortgage Broker Market
Recently I chose to have conversations with some of my local competitors in the Albuquerque Metro Area. I guess you could say curiosity had gotten the best of me, and as all humans tend to do at one time or another, I wondered if the grass were really greener on the other side of the fence.
