Introduction to Mortgage Pick-Me-Up

March 6, 2008

Billy Ocean

“Oh, great. Another mortgage blog. This is just what the world needs.”

Well, actually, the world does need this blog. Unlike the others doomsdayers and naysayers that exist in the blogosphere, Mortgage Pick-Me-Up is here to focus on the positives about the mortgage industry. Are there positives? Of course there are.

As a Mortgage Originator, it is extremely depressing to be inundated with bad news every day. Yes, I know it is a difficult market. Yes, I know that rates are up, and property values and consumer confidence are down. I understand that banks are shutting their doors, and cutting jobs like a Ginsu knife cuts through shoes. I GET IT!!!

But guess what? I have a job to do. We have a job to do. And it might be nice to get a little boost each morning to learn about new programs available, sales techniques from some of the legends, marketing ideas from advertising gurus, and feedback from other Originators around the country. Let’s not sit around feeling sorry for ourselves. As Billy Ocean said, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” (I think that was actually Joseph Kennedy but I digress…)

So grab your morning paper, get your cup of coffee, and get your Mortgage Pick-Me-Up.
