Dear Reader,
I just wanted to say hello to all of my friends, past clients, business partners and blog subscribers. I wanted to share with you about how I was the guest speaker at All Star Realty's office meeting last night in Stamford, Connecticut. It was an honor to attend this meeting and speak with all of the agents of the office about where we are today as far as the mortgage industry is concerned.
I attended the meeting with the following in my hands:
1.) Business Cards, plenty of them.
2.) Company information about the mortgage company that I work for and have been working for since January of 2005.
3.) Co-Marketing flyers where I can do some marketing with each of the agents in the All Star Realty office.
4.) Open House Mortgage flyers to show as examples for all of the office listings.
5.) List of my mortgage company REO's in all of Connecticut so that they can share with their buyers, investors, family and friends.
6.) Giveaways like pens and candies.
While at the meeting we discussed the following topics:
1.) Current status of the mortgage company that I work for.
2.) What my mortgage company can do for them.
3.) What I can do for the agents of the office.
4.) What All Star Realty of Stamford, CT can do for me.
5.) Mortgage products that fit some of their Jumbo mortgage clients and even first time home buyers.
6.) Marketing tactics so that they can increase their business in which it will increase my referrals from them.

Today I received a Thank You letter from the Broker/Owner Violet Tehrani:
Dear Nima:
On behalf of every one at ALL STAR REALTY, I'd like to thank you for coming to our office meeting, and providing such wonderful education about the mortgage industry (these days) . We enjoyed having you here. Thanks for the pens & the candies too. We look forward to doing business with you. We would make a perfect team, who would cater to different clients' needs (accordingly). Once again thank you for your time, knowledge and expertise.
Regards,
VIOLET TEHRANI

STAMFORD, Connecticut

_________________________________________________________
The meeting was a big success as I already received a home buyer CT mortgage preapproval from one of the agents and an All Star Realty of Stamford, CT agent who wants to refinance their existing Stamford, CT Mortgage.
I also mentioned that even if your buyer as a preapproval, I am still willing to work closely with them and get them a better mortgage rate or better closing costs so that they look like a hero in front of their clients.
I have not been actively blogging because I have had a full plate on a daily basis. It was very important for me to be there for my new clients, past clients and business partners.
Thanks for reading my blog today and I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Reader,
I was referred to a very interesting website which I thought was extremely interesting to me and I know for a fact that it would be interesting for you as well. You don't have to be a financial analyst or a mortgage industry analyst to know that we are going through some rough times. I was referred to this websute: http://www.ml-implode.com/ which is a website dedicated to the mortgage lending industry. This website has news about lenders that have gone out of business and lenders that are on a watch list of lenders in trouble or possibly going out of business. You can take a look at the website closely on your own and you figure out if this is really accurate or not. Below I will copy and paste the 117 mortgage lenders that have already gone out of business or are on their way of going out of business if still functioning. I will also share the 14 top mortgage lenders that are on a watch list of mortgage companies that are in trouble of some sort which is very bad for their company. Everything you find in this blog is not my opinion but data that I found on http://www.ml-implode.com/ or http://www.lenderimplode.com/ or http://www.mortgageimplode.com/
I will also share the definitions of imploded lenders and ailing lenders that is also found on the website:
"Imploded" lenders: The "imploded" status is somewhat subjective and does not necessarily mean operations are ceased permanently: it can mean bankruptcy filing, temporary but open-ended halting of major operations, or a "firesale" acquisition. The Companies include all types (prime, subprime, or a mix of both; retail or wholesale; subsidiaries and entire companies). Note: Companies listed here may still be operating in some capacity; check with them before making assumptions.
Ailing lenders haven't shut down, but they're significantly scaling back or are (or recently have been) in manifest financial, legal, or operational distress. Unfortunately, most of the industry now falls under this description, so we are forced to reserve this list for the more glaring cases or those which we happen to have more specific info about.
The 14 mortgage lenders on a watch list are:
