Don't Worry...Trust Me!

How many times do you see the term "mortgage professional" used when in fact the person using the title is NOT a mortgage professional?

I know hundreds of loan originators across the country who truly personify the term "mortgage professional," however I have also seen countless others who remind me of Richard in this YouTube video.

I'm sure most individuals reading this post are dedicated to conducting their business in a fair, competent, and truthful manner.

As mortgage professionals, we acknowledge the profound impact, which our conduct has upon our clients’ welfare. Additionally, our clients rely on the accuracy and honesty of our guidance in the disposition of their assets, which may represent a major portion of their lifetime savings.

Bottom line - It's BOZO's like Richard and friends that idolize and mirror the characters in "Boiler Room" and "Glenngarry, Glenn Ross" that hurt our industry. Can you imagine being so proud of such sales tactics that you actually post it on YouTube?

Tony - Great find!
It's also a sad find.

I had an office next door to me in my office building of these guys. 20 of them.
Auto Dialers, spamming systems, and the phone banks. Thankfully, someone came in the middle of the night and hollowed out the entire office. Files, computers, everything. I'm sure they just moved it to another undisclosed location.

My favorite line: "Hi, I'm calling you on behalf of your current lenders wholesale department..." (heard in the background).

I'll be sharing this with all my readers.

I'm glad the law of reciprocity is real. It's unpredictable, but real. And sooner or later it will catch up to these idiots, er, gentlemen.
