No online community is perfect but we’re seeing some great things happen on Voices.

Am I too much the optimist? I love the idea!

Lenders who are lazy, expensive, &/or demand immediate results will fall by the wayside, leaving a marketplace filled with lenders who understand what they have – a low cost opportunity to find low margin business. Not something I’d want to build my business around, but not a bad 3rd or 4th marketing stream..

You said what has been rattling around in my brain all day. I’m skeptical, but it’s early in the 1st quarter. We’ll see.

That’s an interesting point. I worked with a mortgage broker from Lending Tree for the first and last time. It was an awful experience. If a buyer wants to work with them, I suggest they not or find another realtor – it was that bad.
