clapping hands I just have to give a hand to those awesome Loan Officers out there! 

With today’s ever changing lending situation, the hurdles and jumps you have to go through to get a client qualified is amazing. 

I had a tough situation with a client this week. They do not have stellar credit (no thanks to a past identity theft), but really want and need to buy a home.  I was almost certain that there would be a big “NO” over there head in qualifying for a loan.  But my friend and loan officer who I work with on a regular basis, spent hours this morning working through some of their credit issues and making it actually possible for them to purchase a home.  I know this situation is not going to be easy and will require a lot of work before everything finally comes together.  But I appreciate the fact that this loan officer had the patience and compassion for helping my clients realize their dream of home ownership.

So hats off to my friend and all his wisdom, not to mention all the other loan officers out there who go above and beyond the call of duty.  Without you, we Realtors wouldn’t be able to help our clients become Homeowners. 

hats off

There are good L.O. and there are Bad Ones. It's good to hear a story about the good ones!

Chelle,

Yes, the mortgage market is rather challenging nowadays. The tighter lending standards is one thing, but when they change constantly makes it aggravating. Your loan officer certainly earned the compliments.

 I always work with the good ones and it seems the buyers agents always work with the bad ones.

Chelle, a good loan officer is very important.  Mortgages and the advice that go along with it are not a commodity any more than the experienced counsel from a good REALTOR.  A fitting tribute in this post.
