“Communication is the Lubrication in every well run Organization"
I think that statement is the most important thing I have read this week. I have been going through rough and tumble times here in the month of July, and my one constant has been the ability for me to communicate with my associates, my Realtor referral partners, my friends and my radio audience what is going on in the mortgage world.
I heard talk of the failure of Fannie and Freddie and other companies. How some people are comparing this to this 1930’s with runs on banks to pull money out as soon as possible and how the media is just laying the foundation to a great deal many fears in our society.
I have heard that they economy is slowing down! How inflation is increasing at an alarming rate! How our home equity is plunging up to 30% across the land! While that is all true in some sort of fashion, but it does not hold true for all us. We all make due! We always have. My parents still can food that grows in their gardens. I walk or ride my bike more places than ever before, because gas is up to $4.21 a gallon in NW Indiana. So, I am enjoying some weight loss..
I urge you all to communicate in an upbeat manner to your clients that it is not all that bad out there. I read the other night in the paper that first time home buyers are up 44% in California because prices have come down enough for them to be able to afford a new home. We should celebrate those headlines, and they should not be buried on the 5th page of the paper.
Now, is a great time to buy and be a part of the solution of your first time home buyers, guess what when a first timer buys a house another buy goes looking for a new home it is a cycle.

Great post Dave
First time homebuyers are coming out here in NW IN as well because of all the short sales and foreclosures which bring prices down making them more affordable!
