Is it time to buy?
Sorry for not posting for a while. I have been pretty swamped with all of the refinances that people are requesting. While I was looking at my list of current clients I realized that 90% of them are clients who are refinancing and only 10% are clients that are purchasing a home. This got me thinking about a couple things. My first thought was that maybe I am the only loan officer in town with this ratio and I need to do a better job marketing to real estate agents (in 2009 I have the goal for 40% of my business to come from real estate agents. Right now it's like 10%) After talking to some of my loan officer colleagues that had similiar situations I thought "why aren't more people buying homes?!" With interest rates as low as they are and the first time homebuyer tax credit of $7,500 Iwould think that everyone would be scrambling to purchase a home. I've come to the conclusion that the media has poisoned everybody with the fear that they are going to lose their job and be foreclosed on their home. So a couple things need to happen...People need to stop listening to the media and Obama needs to push the "recession off" button in that secret room in the White house.

Hello everyone, I'm Patricia Sherman in Oklahoma USA right now. I would like to share with you my experience of borrowing USD $185,000.00 to clear my bank draft and start a new business. It all started when I lost my house and I took my stuff because of the bank policy and I met some bills and some personal needs. So I became very desperate and started looking for funds in every way. Fortunately for me, a friend of mine, Linda told me about a credit company firm, I was intrigued by the fraud, but I was intrigued by my situation and had no choice but to get advice from my friend about this company. contacting them really doubted me because of my past experience with online lenders, did you know that little? '' Elegantloanfirm@hotmail.com This company has been very helpful to me and my colleague and today, thanks to this credit company, the proud owner of well-organized work and responsibilities, they smiled back at me. So if you really need to grow or start your own business, or if you really need to borrow money in any financial hardship, we recommend you find a financial development opportunity in your business today. {E-mail:} Elegantloanfirm@hotmail.com ... online for credit not a victim of scam. Thank you.
