Government shutdowns are in place, and these could impact the mortgage industry. In today’s Mortgage Monday, Christian and David talk about how government shutdowns could potentially slow down loan approvals, and which loans specifically are most likely to be affected. They also talk about how this may lead to downward pressure on rates as investor money flows to the safety of mortgage-backed securities. The show ends with a hilarious analogy of being friend zoned in business and a declaration of David’s love for each and every listener, as well as how to contact him directly. Download today!

Show notes

Do you feel stuck in your business and not making tracting? This show is for you. Today’s guest, Cloe Birchett, shares an incredible story you will never forget. In a crazy happenstance, Cloe ran into me in a restaurant in Carmel CA where I was having dinner with Brandon Turner, and let me tell you, I’m glad she did. In today’s episode Cloe shares her incredible story of moving from China to the US with nothing but $2,000 and a crush on the man she loved. A few years later and she had received an accounting degree and traded it in for being a real estate agent on her way to becoming a top producer in the CA Bay Area’s highly competitive market. Cloe shares the story of how ONE open house led to TEN closed deals, averaging a million dollars each, and how she calls her clients relentlessly to win their trust and ultimately their business. We cover tricks you can use to deal with unruly clients, how to return positive emotion when you receive negative emotion, and even how Cloe closed a client another realtor gave up on from such an abusive demeanor. If you’ve been looking for inspiration and direction in your business, you’re not going to want to miss this show. Fall in love with RE, and Cloe, all over again!
