Real Estate

Mortgage brokers share the blame with the rest of the industry in the current real estate mess.

Who is not to blame for the mortgage mess? Take one step back. As lenders, money was flowing from the spigot like there was no tomorrow. As mortgage brokers, there was money to be made by cranking the faucet, and it was a foot race to see who could get to the sink first. As agents, we sang the “Houses are expensive, but money is cheap” refrain until we were blue in the face. And, as for the consumer, it really doesn’t matter in the final analysis whether they were motivated by necessity, opportunity or unadulterated greed. We all helped make this bed in which we now must lie.
