Where is the LOVE?
Notice a certain --ah--absence of mortgage professionals worth their salt in your town? Notice that some of your clients may be having a hard time getting financing? Has sending your clients to your bank instead of supporting independent mortgage brokers backfired?
We got the message: Loan Officers and Mortgage Companies have been getting out of the business in droves. For several reasons. 1. New federal and state licensing regulations discouraged folks who weren't up for new learning and fees. Fine, we only want committed professionals in our business....a good thing!  2. New HUD and Lender guidelines limited the companies who could qualify to sell them loans. The  smart viable companies have met these changes...also good! 3. Refinancing is becoming less attractive as rates start to climb so our market is tightening. 4. People who want to make a decent living with community respect may have gone to work somewhere where they get paid to show up 9 to 5.
