My two new favorite words: "Persistent and Relentless"

By
Mortgage and Lending with Frontier Home Mortgage

So earlier this week I received a request from a Realtor to remove him from my "Relentless Marketing Efforts". Usually when Realtors ask to be removed from our list, I might be a little discouraged, but I was too busy focusing on the word "Relentless". Actually, this Realtor's e-mail made my day.

The definition of Relentless is: "Steady and persistent; unremitting" Wouldnt you want a Loan Officer working for you that you could count on, that would be on top of your file, ready for anything?

Then today, a Realtor that I work with called me "Persistent." The definition of Persistent is:

"persisting, esp. in spite of opposition, obstacles, discouragement", also : "lasting or enduring tenaciously"

I must say that as a Loan Officer, I am THRILLED that I am viewed that way. Both by those who work with me, and those who do not. I think in this industry, especially in this market it is so easy to get "tired" and just want to bag the whole thing. Those two comments I received this week will definitely help me keep it up!

 What helps the rest of you in this industry push through?

Like you I am a loan officer and I have been persistent too. I tend to buy from people who call me more than 3 times and the general buying public is that way. I still suggest some caution you want them to think of you not for you to piss them off.

Keep up the good well. There is a saying that goes " what will not kill me will make me stronger"

I don't get major heartburn with anyone but other "real estate agents" sending me their new listings..  I don't really know why it irritates me so but I think it's because they give me the feeling the other agent is telling me "hey look at me and the great job I am doing".  I know that its a service the agent has subscribed to and it's intended to give the seller a warm glow about how good his agent is, but I have yet to come across anyone that has used this method to sell a home!...it's like property tours ...worthless...

but if i am in the market for a loan person or an inspector , i at least peruse the email before i click on delete..

Now you know that you have arrived... the best professionals are both of those things and there's nothing bad whatsoever in admitting it!
