Okay. Putting my money where my mouth is really isn't a change. You see I have always offered free training to home buyers and real estate investors and agents and brokers. I've had a few agents come (they don't like to come unless they get CE's so I never bothered to get my classes certified). Mostly the people who have come are real estate investors and there have been thousands of them.
Home buyers? Maybe 100 at most. Usually one at a time.
So, people say they get taken advantage of by the bank or lender because they, as clients, don't know much about the mortgage business. This is DEFINITELY not my fault. But to prove my point, I challenge everyone to make this know. I will provide, at no cost to the attendee and no obligation for them to use my services, a detailed and intesnse 2 hour class on mortgages and how to use them properly.
I am multiply certified, heavily experienced in the mortgage industry, and have excellent communications and teaching skills. They WILL be taught and they will be taught the truth. I won't be changing the class from its previous state because it has always be a great class. What I will do THIS TIME is report back to you how many people attend. I will not spend any money on advertising but I will advertise on Craigslist, Backpage and Kijiji just to name a few.
I am willing to wager there will be less than 5 takers. Now I'm not talking about some dinky little First Time Homebuyer's class with donuts and coffee and a 1 year veteran loan officer. I'm talking about a full blown, highly intense 2 hours of massive training about mortgages and the finances surrounding them. How to avoid foreclosure and get a lower rate. How to negotiate closing costs and how to shop for a mortgage with intelligence.
In fact, I am willing to say that at the end of those 2 hours the attendee will know more about mortgages than 25% of the loan officers currently trying to get their old job back.
Send people to the link and let's count how many people show up. You see, it is my belief that Americans are MORTGAGE IGNORANT BY CHOICE. They don't WANT to know because they are so ignorant they believe INTEREST RATE is the most crucial part of the loan.
There will be a $20 seat reservation fee and I will refund ALL of it except the PayPal fee at the end of the class so they'll get back like $17.50 and about $500 worth of information (compared to some of the mortgage seminars I have attended.)
