I have come across a lot of loan officers in my time that do not practice this with their customers. The outcome is devastating when they arrive to the closing table and what was told to the customer is not what is on the paperwork. To me, it makes no sense why you need to lie to your customers to get them to do a deal. Problem is this; this is not just a problem in the loan officer world.

I hope that in one of the quotes below you find some form of inspiration. I have added a song for your listening pleasure as you read the quotes.
