My four year old, Diego, asked me the other day " Mommy, are superheroes real?" . Hmmmm. What should I tell him? Do I keep the spirit alive as we do with Santa? Or do I tell him the truth, so he won’t go jumping off buildings thinking that his spider web will shoot out of his wrist? I chose the latter. Break it to him now.
There really are SUPER HEROES though! Every day, we deal with that super closer at title that goes the extra mile to keep our deal together, or in our case, our underwriters at Patriot! God love them. They stay late, they work Saturdays when needed, and they sign off on conditions just minutes before closing so we can fund on time. In my book, that qualifies as a super duper hero. But some days, they can also be villains, making our life hard with conditions and paperwork and this and that. Villains!!!!!!! Worse than the Green Goblin himself! But its not their fault. Its the Big Daddy Fannie Mae and HUD that make these regulations. Underwriters are just the messenger. WHO ARE these guys anyway? Is it a board of suits sitting around a conference table spitting out do's and don'ts for millions of potential homeowners to comply with? Probably. That sure is refreshing.
So that is my job description now, shielding my clients and realtors from the painstaking regulatory requirements that lenders force on us. Does this make me a super hero? (SMILE) Some food for thought: What can you do for your clients to make you their super hero? Its a catchy concept, and one that can improve the homebuyers experience in this crazy, villainous world! That is my motto for 2010- BE A SUPERHERO for my clients.
