mortgage: 30 Day closings: What, are you kidding me? - 09/04/09 06:30 AM
"You can't get a close done in 30 days" I've been told. This statement has been made to me time and again from some of my friends at some of the larger bank owned mortgage companies. I want to share some quick tips that can help move things along smoothly and eliminate heartburn at the closing for your clients, real estate partners and you.
I know that getting a loan done in 30 days or less can sometimes be a daunting task. There are many factors to consider as to why the lending process can get bogged down. I'm a mortgage … (14 comments)

mortgage: Seller Carryback Fanancing, it's not extinct!!! - 08/17/09 02:51 PM

Here's the scenario: You have a listing for sale and unfortunately not too many prospects coming to look at the home.

mortgage: OPEN HOUSE TODAY, Why you should REQUIRE all prospects to sign in - 08/01/09 10:15 AM
    If you're a REALTOR today is like any other weekend day, it's time for your Open House. As a lender I sit open houses from time to time. Sometimes it's with agents whom I have worked with that may have a hot listing, and sometimes it's with a newer agent who would really like to have me there to answer questions of potential prospects coming through.
