LINKEDIN SUCCESS

Mortgage and Lending with Mortgage Consultant, Right Trac Financial Group, Inc. NMLS # 2709 NMLS # 6869
  • 2001 Linkedin Connections and  
  • 120 Recommendations as of September 17, 2012

A Realtor asked if she could connect with me, I accepted and followed up with an email thanking her and letting her know she was my 2000th  connection.

She followed up the same day, saying that she wanted to get connected, mainly because of the amount of recommendations and her broker was one of the recommendations.

She told me that her mother worked for a local credit union, but there were so many mortgage products that they didn’t do. No VA, FHA, 203K, USDA or HARP, all of which we do. They were not offering loans for customers under a 660 credit score.

She told me that the majority of her customers did not qualify for 20% down conventional mortgages. So, she was not able to help 4 out 5 potential home buyers.

Since that initial email, she has referred two clients and I was able to do a preapprovals for them.

Thank you Linkedin!

Joe - Wow, that is awesome on so many levels.  And, I still owe you a recommendation.  I have to get on the ball and ask for these regularly.  Wow, on over 2000 connections.  I only have 1,300 or so (and I do know almost all of them).

Hi Joe, Congratulations on the 2000+ connections,  it is so nice when someone connects with a need that you can help them with, and even better when it brings in some business for both of you.

Joe, it is amazing how limited the Credit Unions are.  I have a Loan Originator at a local Credit Union who sends me all her FHA's because they cannot do them.
