Hello all: I thought I'd turn the tables a bit and relate what my expectations are for a realtor. Invariably the talk is always about what a loan officer needs to do to satisfy a realtor. So I thought I'd change it up as turnabout is fair play! Please understand part of this is just having some f...

Hello all: It's an absolutely gorgeous day outside here in Seattle and I'm still working! Maybe that's to my benefit. For some odd reason, I'm often busiest on Friday. Maybe it's mental but I've often taken more applications, etc. on Friday than any other day of the week. It's funny how everyone ...

Hello all: I picked up the paper yesterday and saw that the governor of our state, Christine Gregoire, had fined Countrywide Home Loans $1 million dollars and ordered them to cease doing business in the state of Washington. Countrywide, of course, can appeal this. It will be interesting to see ho...

Hi all: Last night Helen Martin of Keller Williams and myself held a homebuyers seminar at the Green Lake Library in Seattle. We felt it was a success and plan to build on it and hold a seminar quarterly. Although we didn't have alot of people attend (3 showed up), we felt we were able to convey ...

I would argue that all of us are inherently shy so we get invited to an event and hope that someone will come...

Good morning: I was reading the Seattle Times yesterday and it reported that 6 people had been indicted for mortgage fraud. One worked at a bank which says to me not all mortgage brokers are to blame for the mess we're in. Nationwide, there have been over 200 indictments for mortgage fraud and I'...

Hello all: I just wanted to share with you that I received a call from a borrower today who may use me for a loan. He found me on Zillow Mortgage Marketplace. We'll see what happens because he is a first-time homebuyer. When I initially signed up for Zillow Mortgage Marketplace, I was obviously i...

Good morning! With the recent volatility in  mortgage rates, it leads one to wonder which way-up or down? Lately, rates have been climbing although they almost always do during the summer. Lately, the predictions have been for rates to either decrease slightly (currently they're at 6.25% on a 30 ...

Good morning! I have to admit when I woke up this morning, I wasn't all there. I'm pretty sure I slept well last night. It's just that the business we're in can be such a grind. That being said, I was looking for ways to rev myself up and was curious what gets you going. For me, it's being able t...

Good morning! Happy Father's Day! We were at my brother-in-law's house last night and he wished everyone a Happy Father's Day. It was a nice touch. I don't know about you but I think a lot of us dads wonder about our place and what kind of legacy we'll leave. I think mother's have a clearer sense...
