I was genuinely honored when Jeff Belonger asked me to write this review. I read so many mortgage posts that I figured I'd be a natural for this. You'll find as many mortgage writers among my subscription list as Realtors. How that happened is easy to see - the best Mortgage Pros seem to have a way of Romancing the Realtor in me. We all know that to survive in this business, we need each other. It's a natural pairing. When Realtors and Lenders get together, we make dreams come true.

We all need a little review now and then, so for this weeks featured posts, I present to you

Romance 101:

When it comes to romancing the girl in me, there's no question about it - only one person has the power to do that! Since you all expect it anyway, I won't disappoint you and neither will he. In true Sardi fashion, he teaches us what really makes the difference in the art of wooing a client with...

On the other hand, if you really want to know how NOT to woo a Realtor, (and we all know a Realtor + Mortgage Lender = True Love!), you won't want to miss this no holds barred tutorial...

Maybe your standards are too high. Maybe you just want it all. Well who doesn't? Don't dispair any longer because you CAN have everything you've always dreamed of right here with the guy who has it all...

100% LTV, NO FICO, NO DOC - Worldwide, Commercial, Land, Residential Development by Rod Tinsley

If all is fair in Love and War, then what about Real Estate? What is acceptable when it comes to telling all? Is there really such thing as too much information? If you think you know the answer, you might need to rethink your strategy. Before you do though, don't miss...

What is fair game for a lender to share with a listing agent???? by Olan Carder

Ok, so now you've got 'em right where you want them. You've sealed the deal, so to speak. What happens next? We all know it doesn't take long before you both begin to lay down the law. Every relationship depends on them to survive. (If only my beloved would simply learn to follow them!) If you find yourself in doubt about what's expected from you, it's all right here...

My expectations for a realtor by Paul McFadden

You fell in love, you knew it was right, you worked at it even when the passion was gone. If there is one thing you didn't plan on, it was this. Still, we all make mistakes. Divorce is never easy, but when it happens, you'd do well to follow this advice from Active Rain's very own Sage of Mortgages...

Divorce / Real Estate / Money by William J Archambault Jr (or Uncle Bill!)

It's inevitable, after it's all said and done, the vultures will find the carnage - they always do. Let's face it... it IS a jungle out there and we'd all be wise to better understand how to survive it. All the rules have changed since you were last in the game. No one lays it out better than this...
