Do you BLAME others when things go wrong in a transaction?

"Yes, there are times when something is legitimately not our fault. Blaming others, however, keeps us in a stuck state and is ultimately rough on our own self-esteem." Eric Allenbaugh - Author of "Wake-Up Calls"

 

So, when was the last time you said: It was the loan officer's fault!" OR "It was the agent's fault!" OR "That darn appraiser ruined the transaction for everyone!" .

 

When a transaction goes south, we should all realize not every transaction can be a grand slam.  There are houses that will not appraise or will have appraisal issues, like repairs required.  There may be a client that loses their job days before a closing, or buys that new car before a closing, thus ruining their approval.

 

By all working together in this industry, we can make it better for all of us and for the consumer.  Especially for the consumer, because they are the ones who are truly our "boss".

 

So, let's all work TOGETHER!

Have a GREAT day!

Ann: Thanks. Great post! I agree with you. It's amazing to me how we as loan officers want to blame others yet ultimately its up to us to get the deal done. Thanks again!
