Loan Officers Like Babies
My daughter just turned one. Though she hasn’t yet spoken an actual word, there’s a bunch of humming and singing and noise-making coming from our little sweetie.
This morning I was wondering what will be that first word, when will the actual verbal communication start. Then I realized, she communicates perfectly well. She talks through her noises and her hands and her eyes and her various facial expressions. She communicates through her actions.
As a buyer, choose your home buying team (loan officer, realtor, attorney, etc.) based on their actions. Anyone can say or promise anything. Yet do they follow through with actions. Calling you back. Documenting information in writing. Verifying rates and programs as promised at the application or on the phone.
Though I can’t wait until she talks, I love gazing at her talk to me with just her smile.

Dear Richard:
Happy first birthday to your beautiful daughter. My advice is to enjoy the silence, because once she starts to talk, it never stops.

Thanks so much. Yes, between the anticipation between waiting for her to walk and talk, I know that things will change. Oh well….
Richard
