About

Background I started posting threads on Mortgagemag’s net-branch forum back in January 2004 after my employment contract with a well-known mortgage company was terminated. They owed me over $50,000 in commissions and didn’t want to pay. After months of sending letters and asking for payment of my wages, I finally threatened them with a lawsuit. But instead of paying what they owed they simply fired me and all my staff! They ignored the employment contract, which I had drafted and they had signed, thinking I could not afford to litigate. They were wrong and that turned in to a very expensive mistake for them. The Mortgagemag forum allowed me to vent my frustration and share my experience with hundreds of other loan officers and branch managers who had their own stories of similar situations. My posts on this topic also lead to heated discussions and debates on many other subjects concerning our industry and within a few months we had one of the most interesting and intellectually stimulating mortgage forums on the internet. I want to thank Bill Draving for creating the forum and supporting it. I also need to give credit to several other individuals who made major contributions to the forum by their thoughtful and engaging posts - Jim Face (Jim), Ron Litt (webwizard), SwishALLNET, buckeyes, Don Yount(swmortgage) and Gary Coggin (Retailplus). Mortgageshoptalk.com was launched in 2004 with the intent of developing a strong network of loan officers, branch managers and mortgage brokers (Broker Network) that could join forces to gain leverage with service providers, wholesale lenders, lead aggregators and net-branch companies. In addition to increasing our bargaining power we can all benefit from the network’s collective knowledge and wisdom and not have to learn everything through trial and error. A new forum (http://www.brokerwatchdog.com/smf) was launched on February 27, 2006 as a gateway for registering new members and communicating with other members of Broker Network. The forum has an area where you can rate vendors, lenders and net branch companies and read about other broker’s opinions and ratings of the companies you may be thinking of joining or hiring for services. Additionally, I have negotiated preferred terms and pricing with some of the most reputable marketing companies who have agreed to offer Broker Network affiliates volume pricing on mortgage leads, direct-mail and telemarketing campaigns, printing services and a whole lot more. Soon you will be able to search and conduct counts of available mortgage leads in your target area and download the data directly from our website. You will also have access to marketing material and sales letters that have been tested by other members for response rate and performance. I have arranged for a call center to accept inbound calls and take mini 1003 applications from callers so you will never miss a response from your direct-mail campaigns. You will own the inbound toll free number and a control panel, which will let you record all inbound calls and lookup each caller’s name and address. To promote members of the network this website’s directory will list all members who have made two or more posts on the forum with a link to the member’s website, which will help us all achieve higher rankings on search engines. I will soon be starting a link exchange program for the Broker Network members and offer additional tools for driving traffic to our websites. Since this is a new venture your support is critical. Please register on the forum and post an announcement or start a new thread. Ask your friends to do the same. Our strength will depend on the size of our network and we will all benefit from its success. Julian Bond (Godfather)
