It's Beer Thirty on Friday April 30, 2010

Our phones were eerily quiet this week, even today with the looming end of days where the Home-Buyer's Tax Credit is concerned. I am kind of happy to see it end, although in the lending realm I don't see a true end until the loans must close which is June 30.  I didn't really see as many borrowers rush through after the extension was announced but maybe  a handful of pre-qualifications. Many buyers were not able to find a suitable home for their needs at the prices they were expecting. Honestly speaking I would sacrifice the credit for the right timing and most importantly the right home. Rates are still very low and I don't see prices going anywhere soon so not to worry... not that you were ; )

Breath in Faith, Breath out Fear.

This past year I have spent assisting one of our Branch Managers and also acting as support for the other Loan Officers in our office here in Oregon City. I am very grateful for the experience which has been the foundation for new friendships, networking opportunities, and training that is hard to come by in this industry. I have found it necessary to take a step back so that I can better focus on my individual growth within my career as a Mortgage Consultant here with Sunrise. So many changes have come about in this last year where I have had the notion but never quite the time to blog about it. I have missed it and I look forward to logging in and posting with less randomness in the future. A quote from a realtor on a flipping show (long ago obviously) has stuck with me "Breath in Faith, Breath out Fear." This has been my mantra these days... Pray with me unless you are not one to believe in prayer then I will gratefully accept "Good Luck" :)
