What does beef have to do with a mortgage??

Amanda and Jared, now that's funny! I was hoping this one would have a good punch line and it certainly did. 

That was a catchy title!  I'm sure the buyer knows now what USDA means.  Well, we still have a lot of acronyms and real estate terms that may confuse home buyers and we're here to explain to them what they mean.

Thank you for the chuckle. I will share this post  with others.

It is most logical and even today when I see it I have the same reaction. We are programmed to associate things familiar to us. It is funny though!!

Hey Jared,

Too funny!  And the buyer was so serious.  Hope he gets a home qickly.  Thanks for the laugh.

lol.. 

Well, let me explain. .

if you have a USDA loan . .is like getting a huge juicy steak and I'm here to cook it for you!

 

You know, every time I mention a USDA loan, I get some sort of comment about the government, or food, or something.   Nothing quite as funny as that though, but there sure is a lot of confusion on what the USDA could possible have to do with homes!

Amanda and Jared, you can't make a story like this up. Thanks for the humor this morning.

Great story Amanda and Jared. Sometimes when we're throwing out our industry acronyms we forget that buyers have no clue what we are talking about. One of our agents always markets herself with GRI after her name. I can't tell you how many times over the years we've received calls asking to speak with Mrs. GRI.

Very funny, but government did solve this problem by way of the shutdown and the buyer wouldn't need to ask that question today.  USDA loans are officially offline while Congress does its thing....

Hahaha...the poor guy. He has no clue. Glad Fred was able to help him understand what kind of loan he was approved for.

Too funny, Jared.  That thought has run through my mind a few times, but I haven't had anyone pick up on it.  

A great story! I kept thinking you were going down the road of asking "where's the beef?" I've used USDA loans very successfully with clients who qualified and didn't need to put money down. Unfortunately, the number of areas in our region that qualify for USDA loans have shrunk considerably over the past 10 years.

USDA Prime loans are tied to the prime interest rate.

I own some land in New Mexico in open range land.  Beef cattle from the neighbor's ranch roam the area and eat the grass on my land.  I have tried to explain to the cattle that I am the land owner, but they ignore me.  I think maybe they only speak Spanish.  La vaca loca.

Amanda and Jared, that's hilarious! So true though right, all the acronyms in real estate do get confusing. Hahaha!

Jared - Though this is funny, it's a good reminder not to us too much argon with our clients.

Oh, that it just too, too funny!  We do have a lot of acronyms.

Thanks for sharing the story and the good laugh.  Too Funny!

Too funny! I'm going to guess it's an FHA instead of a USDA-I think that buyer would have remembered those letters.
