Loan Officer Trust
Should I trust my loan officer when he's
done a good job for me in the past?
When you start feeling like your mortgage professional is your best
friend, you need to be very careful. One of the first things a
good salesperson will do is pick up on something you enjoy doing or
discussing, once he can get you talking about it you'll feel more
comfortable and thus more trusting.
Trust should be something you give your loan officer after years of
him proving he has your best interest at heart and even then you should
question anything that doesn't sound right.
If you're sitting down with the loan officer and start thinking "10
minutes" ago I was going to continue shopping for my mortgage and now
all of the sudden I'm signing my life away, "What the heck just
happened!" When this happens, politely excuse yourself, go home
and give yourself the night to think it over. That great offer
they made should still be there in the morning.
The pushy salesmen are easy to walk away from, it's the ones that
make you feel comfortable you need to watch out for.
