Caution! This is not a rant. Well maybe a reverse rant, if you know what I mean. A rant according to Webster's is talking wildly, I do do that sometimes, I guess, after all I'm an excitable boy, when properly motivated. Angry is defined as being enraged. Maybe I am angry, and just don't know it.
For example I saw a post about the predictions of NAR economist, Lawrence Yun. Apparently he's not real good at predictions, or at least not lately, and I can understand that many Realtors believe it's not in their best interests to follow NAR'S lead and paint to rosy a picture, especially based on Yun's opinions. I have an option for you.
Just ignore him.
Beware though, what happens if he turns out to be right?
I think the Banks and the banking industry, in general, act mighty peculiar. We all know or many of us feel that they just flat out don't care about their clients/customers. But that goes on in many industry's including ours. But the Banks are the worst you may say, and I will agree, particuarly at this time. BUT, they are not going to change their behavior, and I'm not sure we will be able to make them. So, I have an option for you. Yep,
Just ignore them!
Those new lending guidelines are just killing my buyers. When are the mortgage lenders going to lighten up? Not soon, I'm afraid. Fannie's about to release their new approval engine and the total back end ratio will be 45%, 50% with compensating factors, whatever those are? There, that one hits me right in the kisser! I can't change this though, and I'm not sure that I don't agree with the change. Actually I do agree, even though buyers will qualify for less, and not be able to stretch as far as they use to. That didn't seem to work that well anyways. I do have an option for you. Nope, it's not ignore it.
Live with it!
I've found that I don't work as well when I'm all fired up over something that I find irritating. I also don't believe I do my best work serving my clients when I'm all lathered up over an issue that's annoying me.
So, what's wrong with me? There's plenty of things going on in today's market which are extremely annoying, but right now;
I'm just not angry with anyone!
