Yes agents and lenders are going to attack my comment.

Agents wont lower their commision. They’ll say their broker wont allow them.

It’s way better to have your bank reject your loan than dealing with a broker that will seek out any program just make them money.

Real estate agents justify there hard work between Oprah commercials.

Lenders justify there hard work between long lunches.

There’s nothing they can do that you can’t!

It’s your money. It’s your life. It’s your note!
