Scotsman Guide

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

Please welcome Scotsman Guide to the Outpost!

Scotsman Guide, the leading resource for mortgage originators, has announced the release of its complete line of free online wholesale-lender search engines at scotsmanguide.com.

All matrixes from Scotsman Guide’s residential and commercial magazines are now searchable online. When searching for residential wholesale lenders, brokers can choose from seven mortgage-product categories: Prime, Alt-A, Nonprime, High CLTV, Construction, Hard Money and Warehouse Lines. For commercial lenders, brokers can search four categories: Commercial, Multifamily, Hard Money and Construction.

These search engines are just another way that Scotsman Guide helps mortgage brokers connect with wholesale lenders and fund their loans. With just a few simple steps, Scotsman Guide’s fast and free online search engines allow brokers to find lenders that fit their specified criteria. When viewing their search results, brokers can save their searches for future use, view program details by company and print their results in a matrix format. Scotsman Guide’s online lender directories (commercial and wholesale) give brokers additional contact information for the companies that appear in their search results.

Founded in 1984, Scotsman Publishing Inc. publishes a residential edition and a commercial edition of Scotsman Guide. The magazines have a combined monthly circulation of more than 90,000 subscribers nationwide. Scotsman Guide is the leading resource for mortgage originators, connecting mortgage brokers with wholesale lenders. The most recent Wholesale Access Mortgage Brokers’ Survey found that more than 65 percent of mortgage brokers in the country read Scotsman Guide — more than any other publication in the industry.

Real Estate: Why now is a great time to buy

Tuesday, September 5th, 2006

Today I read that The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight tracked the biggest decline in housing price increases in THIRTY years! So why is this good news for home buyers? Simply put, mortgage rates are still close to an all time low. We were spoiled a few years ago with unrealistic rates in the 5% range, but now is a great time to take advantage of the market slow down AND the increase in foreclosures due to people who overbought wih Adjustable Mortgages over the past several years and now can’t keep up with adjusting payments.

Call me today to discuss making home ownership a reality!

Until next time…

I am the “top loan officer in Maryland”

Friday, September 1st, 2006

according to a recent Yahoo search. Read the press release here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/prweb/20060831/bs_prweb/prweb431036_5

See the screenshot of the web search here:

(I had to capture it, you know web rankings are subject to change).

Today I will be real with you all. Being in the business world, and in the mortgage business in particular, I have become more “hollywood” than I ever thought I would. I will admit, it’s neat to have your friends and family read press releases about you, learn more about you by doing Google searches on you, or see your ads in the local grocery store and call you to tell you about it, but it can tend to make you think you are more important than you are.

As I deal with businesses and vendors, one common theme I see is people getting “too big and too important” as their businesses grow, and losing the personal touch. Even today, I had a problem with one of my vendors and years ago the CEO of this company was a phone call away (on a holiday even), today… he was nowhere to be found. I will be nice and not mention his company by name even though he cost me time, money, and credibility today.

You have my committment that no matter what Yahoo, Google, or anyone else says about “Anthony Kirlew”, I will always be just a phone call away.

I am nor sure what made me get so philisophical today. Maybe it’s because I am getting older, or mabe it is because I am growing up (finally), and maybe it’s becuase I am getting married in three weeks (which is why I am growing up). :)

Enjoy yourself this weekend, and get some rest for me… I need it.

Until next time,

Anthony
