Where have LowerMyBills LendingTree and RealEstate gone?

Posted by admin on March 4th, 2010 and filed under realestate com | 4 Comments »

The sites lowermybills.com , lendingtree.com and realestate.com seem to have vanished off the face of the Earth. I read somewhere that Lending Tree was in a court case but that is all I know…

LendingTree and Bankrate.com are both being sued for using bait-and-switch tactics. LendingTree, for example, advertises that "when banks compete you win." However, many leads are sent directly to it’s wholly owned direct lending division, Home Loan Center.

LowerMyBills is having similar issues.

How do I sell myself to the realtors?

Posted by admin on March 2nd, 2010 and filed under realtors | 4 Comments »

i just recently started a new job. I am now a loan officer for a mortgage company. I’ve never done this line of work before. My boss told me that I need to build a relationship with all the realtors in my area. When I go to their office to introduce myself I’m not really sure of what to say to them. I want them to send their clients to me so I can’t sell them mortgages but I don’t know what to offer the realtors to make them want to send their clients to me. Most importantly what the heck do I say when i walk into the office for the first time and hand them my business card… please help me.

"Hello, Mr. So and So,
I’m Jane Dough, and I’m a mortgage loan officer. I’d like to speak with you for a few minutes, if I may."

Then outline why their customers would want to choose your company, and you, to process their mortgages. It’s a sales pitch that you’d use to a reluctant customer, convincing them to use your company. Show the advantages your company offers over others (but it isn’t wise to actually name names).

You’ll do fine.

Which site is best for realestate in US?

Posted by admin on March 2nd, 2010 and filed under realestate com | 2 Comments »

I have been to these sites:
1. realestate.yahoo.com
2. zillow.com
3. trulia.com

Which site do you you think is the best one?
Do you know about any other sites?

Since "all real estate is local" I think the website should be local also. If you are looking for real estate in Houston Texas there are several web site (at least three dozen) that have the entire MLS in search-able format. Most high production real estate agents provide this access on their website at no cost or obligation.

I see no advantage to a national site.

Whats an acceptable comission to pay a realestate agent?

Posted by admin on March 2nd, 2010 and filed under realestate | 11 Comments »

Hi,

I am negotiating the commission that the agent receives when he sells my house. He is asking for 3% but Im sure I can negotiate a better deal than this. To anyone that has sold their house recently, how much did you pay to your realtor?

Sold a property in Girraween (Sydney) late last year. Our agent listed, advertised, did open houses and was always happy to be called at any time, we paid him 2.75% and no sale no cost – we had to sign an exclusivity deal for 3 months .
