After reading many posts on Active Rain and seeing many of our members at odds with each others part in the industry I just have to ask you this?

                                                          Press Play

    

 

Lets face facts shall we:

  • Realtors
  • Brokers
  • Loan Officers
  • Mortgage Brokers
  • Mortgage Bankers

We are all nothing more than glorified Sales people. Some of us have fancy titles and think we might have more responsibility than others but when it really comes down to it we are all commission based.  The more we sell, More we write the more we make. Thats the bottom line

When I see posts about people saying that using this type of Realtor or this type of Mortgage company is the "BEST" Way.  Come on' who are you kidding?  This is just your opinion and oh lets not forget your commission opinion as well.

The facts are, their are Good and Bad Realtors, (and I can do a whole post about the things I have seen but I have never done that and would never do it) Good and Bad Mortgage Brokers. Going a step further I know of several bad Real Estate Companies and Mortgage Companies that only interest (Under the eyes of Fiduciary responsibility) was to the all might dollar.

So before we keep bashing each other I think we need to ask us who do we love? Do you have a favorite Realtor, Appraiser, Mortgage Person? In your case that is the best way to go but please keep in mind it might not be everyones favorite way of going.

Personally I have been invited many times to set up shop out of real estate office and my opinion  is and always will be that the Realtor, Appraiser, Title Company and the Mortgage person should all be separate companies and not affiliated.  This will always keep the ability to either steal or commit fraud down to a limited role in the industry.  I know this might not be the popular opinion but it is mine. 

Now lets get back to business!

Matt,

LOL! I don't know about "glorified" sales people. I agree with you.

My belief is that there will always be people with a neon light over their forehead that says "Car Salesperson." And there will be those who truly treat others just like the way that they want to be treated.

There's significantly less of the second group though! That's just nature influenced by upbringing and societal mental germs.

What's important for anyone doing anything is how much forgiveness will each of us ask when it's time to meet destiny! I am working towards asking as little as possible. And I am practicing to ask for no forgiveness for my actions with real estate because I believe in Integrity, Honesty, and Perseverance!

Cheers, Mr. C. KIM McGuire.   N. Padre Island, TX

Matt,

Who I love in this business is people who do business honestly and ethically, everything else is completely up for interpretation.

Matthew- Good for you Matthew- You should always diversify your income streams, creating multiple streams of income, that is the way in these days to build wealth, if wealth is what you want to build, but they should be different from each other. Wearing mortgage and realtor hat at the same time is pitiful and undutiful to the customer, it looks like you are some cheezy sales person! Katerina

Matt- I have said it before.. We need to do our own thing. I just recieved a E-Mail from an old Realtor that I used to deal with, and suddenly he is sending out E-Mails as a Licensed Mortgage Broker/ Realtor. I thought that alot of these games were going to stop!! I guess not.

Great Post!!

Colleen, Thank you. :-)

Sally, Thank you.  I just got so tired of reading the people complaining about each other.

Gary, I agree honestly.  But to say one is better than another is just not true.  You have good and bad in ever area. If you found one that works for you than that is great!

Katerina, Great Minds think alike.:-)
