“Stick your head in the sand and follow the plan”

Episode 26

Welcome back to another episode of Mortgage Loan Officer Podcast, with your host Frank Garay. 

Today, Frank explains that the time is now to welcome the shift in the market, not worry about it.  It was only 2 months ago that we were all wishing there was less buyer competition and more inventory. 

Now that loan officers are here, it seems like some have forgotten what they were wishing for. The shift in the market has exposed our problem, mainly because we either don’t have a plan at all, or the plan we thought we had simply doesn’t work. 

There’s never been a better time to ignore the news and work a solid plan. So, let’s stick our head in the sand and follow the plan.

Let’s hop on a call here and set a plan in motion for you.
