“The lenders I work with are great. They get my loans done, customers love them and I really only have one complaint…
I wish they would blog.“
Craving Technical Mortgage Talk?
I have heard the above statement more than once from a Realtor – and usually I just smile, shrug and say something like “yeah, that is weird… just let me know if you ever need a guest post!”
The truth is that for some reason, being a loan officer and blogging seem to be a combination that only a few people have managed to balance, no matter what geographic market they work in. And of the loan officers that do end up writing about mortgage stuff, many of them don’t write enough about <insert your favorite mortgage-related technical topic> and just end up writing about funny stories that have happened to them.
I know, I probably fall into that camp – but sometimes writing about mortgages is kind of, well… boring.
So I thought I would let you know who the perfect loan officer blogger is for anyone who needs technical-mortgage-related information downloaded daily into their brain… only he isn’t a loan officer – he is the Director of Capital Markets at RPM Mortgage and his name is Rob Chrisman.
Rob simply provides the best daily commentary on what is going on in the mortgage market that there is. He has been helping me sound educated for about a year and a half just by adding me to his email list and he was probably the secret-behind-the-curtain for many loan officers long before I heard about him.
So if you can’t get your loan officer to talk technical to you… now you can get your daily dose of mortgage expert from the best in the business.
Shhh, don’t tell anyone – let’s keep this little secret to ourselves so other people think we are smart.

Thanks for the information. A savvy loan officer can make a world of difference in how smoothly a real estate transaction progresses to closing.
Writing about mortgages may be boring, but trust me there are many searches for the topic. Readers are more interesting in real content, i wish you we all could see more of the content.
“don’t tell anyone – let’s keep this little secret to ourselves so other people think we are smart.”you may think you are smart, but we wonder why it is or it isn't
There are always a few really good loan officers around, find one that you interface really well with that always pulls through for you and then stick with him/her.

It's not an easy thing to just jump right into unless you have a lot of writing experience. Rob Chrisman and also Tom Vanderwall are a couple guys that in the mortgage industry that tell it like it is and gets right to the point.
This blog is so usefully, Thanks for the posted
