As mortgage broker we have entry to low cost loan companies that do not even cope with the public. They only cope with agents. Wholesale loan companies don't have the financial pressure of expensive store division systems. What they do have is money to offer, and lots of it.

Jeff, you're a hell of a man and I'm honored to call you a friend. You're also a hell of a writer and have taught me more than you'll ever know.

We'll catch you on the flip side. Peace.

There doesn't seem to be any penalty. In fact if a "property details" page on your website doesn't have a lot of non-property duplicate content (which Zillow, etc... often seem to have) then it can rank higher then theirs. It helps if your domain is aged. New domains seem to get a lot less benefit from the dsIDXpress plugin, for example. I don't know how long this will last however. The big "authority" domains are just running up their SEO advantages. We are shifting a lot of our focus to innovative positioning, programs, and content - and social media strategies. At some point everyone has access to tons of information, and what is left is to hire someone they like and trust - the friendly, local expert.

This was bound to happen soon or later given Move's other properties. I didn't see any MLS integration though, where does that come into play?

Hi Jeff - Thanks for visiting Mortgagematch.com and taking a look at the site. We'd love to give you a one-on-one tour, which should bring clarity to a few misconceptions that may be helpful. Move, Inc's Senior Vice President of Mortgage, Sue Stewart, is available when you're ready.

Until then, Johnathan Miller did a podcast with Sue Stewart and Steve Berkowitz, Move's cheif executive officer, for TheHousinghelix.com that sheds light into how and why the site was developed to help buyers as they work with Realtors to purchase homes.

Finally a well-written, objective description of what this foreclosure moratorium is all about! What I'm interested to see is if this foreclosure freeze will tip the scales on retail sales and maybe bump up some average home prices??

I can relate to this as JP Chase will not for some reason apply a payment that I sent to them over 7 months ago. I have had several buyers. But they have backed out because of this. Noone wants to buy a piece of property that they have no idea as to whether or not they will ever get the title of deed for.

There are many truths spoken in this very witty article. I really enjoyed reading it, and I agree that our current real estate system will simply have to flush itself...likely with the help of products like HomePath. Great post!

Re: Survey Says…Realtors Suck

Mooersrealtymedia — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 16:36:57 -0000

You know the guy who shoots a deer, in the middle of the night, without a license, out of season, with a million candle watt search light they use out to sea? That whiner with the hunting ticket is not going to be much fun, will make the loudest character and department slams...be less than light and bright with comments, doing surveys about game wardens. Anyone down at the fish and game beehive if any one will listen. Often the loudest whiner seller shot himself in the foot by over pricing, not listening to the broker, agent, guy or gal wearing the "R". Forgetting the full throttle marketing, or unreasonable seller contingencies that did not make the place sell. So every broker who takes turn planting signs in the lawn is a dark heart pirate, needing to search for, scrub their soul in Mr Crabtree's eyes. Steer a wide berth around those no wins, bags of gas. And buyers not able to buy for credit nightmares, other personal baggage but somehow Joe and Jane Broker screwed up with getting them a bank loan on the place they wanted. Hear the full story, take surveys with a grain of sale. Every market is so different too.
