I can't say I like the Mortgage people who are there right now.
Look out!
Here Comes a RANT....
Case in Point:
Here's a wonderful piece of trash. This was a quote request where the Walnut Creek homeowner was looking for a real rate quote on a 30 yr. fixed mortgage.
This bucket of loan officer scum (not harsh enough) used the platform to spam this homeowner on his companies biggest profit producing product. The Home Ownership Accelerator.
or if you like a little outside reading, here's 100,000 pages on the topic
Let's look a little deeper into his profile...
As Borat would say, "very nice!"
Brent is a Quote Farmer.
He's a Scammer, a Spammer, a Liar and Cheat. He and so many others like him, are the reason my industry holds such a poor image in the public eye today.
Chances are he has hired people to blast out as many un-quotes a day as possible.
Brent isn't alone. Right now, Zillow is crawling with Bait and Switch Artists.
Some look like they are a single person (like Brent) but are in fact a corporation. If enough people complain about Brent, they just replace Brent with John. When John is retired they have Pete, and so on.
I know I'm being harsh on Brent. I'm pissed as hell (pardon my language) that Zillow is going to allow Brent and the others to continue. And they will.
They believe it's up to the consumer to decipher the difference. I hope they do. In the end, Zillow will be just fine. Just like bad sellers on eBay haven't brought down that system.
Ok, I'm done Ranting. Back to work.

Mike, what happened to the background check they were doing to ensure the players were legitimate?
Fake license numbers? give me a break.....I love the concept, but havent signed up for fear of this very thing happening. I dont think its a rant at all as I believe that we need to somewhat police ourselves to improve the reputation of the industry as a whole.
