As we sit in our air conditioned offices trying to make a living, there are some things to be aware of. As we take endless calls and leave for home with a phone receiver permanently imbedding onto the side of our head, as we read so many e-mails that our eyes are now bloodshot and resemble something out of a horror movie, and as we think of how much we desire our favorite drink laced with a heavy alcohol content, let us not forget who we really are.
We really are the "Friggin Expert" and the straw that stirs the drink so people can buy or sell a home! We're the ones that make it possible for people to access the lifestyle that they've been dreaming of. We may not have access to the expensive cars and other fluff that comes with a dream life, but we hold in our grubby mitts the keys to that next home, be it as the agent or the money person.
And as such, there is so much we must maintain as we go through our lives at mach 32. Mack 31 will leave us in the dust and blow our hair off regardless of our gender. If we're going to keep up, we must adjust to mach 32 and like it. And while we're traveling through life at such a breakneck pace, we have some keeping up to do. Keeping up with ever changing loan programs and underwriting guidelines. And keeping up with all of the new "point of sale" issues that dimwitted legislators keep heaping on us. At times this "keeping up" can be overwhelming and obnoxious even on a good day. Yet keep up we must. If we are to be that "Friggin Expert" we better keep up or end up the pile of waste that lies beside the highway of mach 32.
As a mortgage dude I get to keep up with three licenses at this point just to be in business in California. I would move to another state, but which one has better weather and beautiful lakes within driving distance of my home? So I'm going to do what every self respecting mortgage dude would do in my situation. I'm going to take up drinking and cussing out loud in public.
Anyone want to join me?
Wishing you the best!
Ed
