Combating Mortgage Fraud

The increased reliance by both financial institutions and non-financial institution lenders on third-party brokers has created opportunities for organized fraud groups, particularly where mortgage industry professionals are involved.
Combating significant fraud in this area is a priority, because mortgage lending and the housing market have a significant overall effect on the nation's economy.

FTC Warns Mortgage Advertisers and Media That Ads May Be Deceptive

The Federal Trade Commission is warning mortgage brokers and lenders, and media outlets that carry their advertisements for home mortgages, that some of the advertising claims currently appearing in Web sites, newspapers, magazines, direct mail, and unsolicited e-mail and faxes may violate federal law.

“Many mortgage advertisers are making potentially deceptive claims about incredibly low rates and payments, without telling consumers the whole story – for example, that these low rates and payments apply for a short period only and can go up substantially after the loan’s introductory period,” said Lydia Parnes, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “Home ownership is the American dream, but it can become a nightmare for consumers who don’t have the information they need to understand the terms of their mortgage.”

Press Release 05/20/07

It Could Cost Real Estate Agents Personally If Your Office Does Not Have a “Do Not Call Policy” If you are a Realtor, Broker or Office Manager without a Do Not Call Policy that includes a tracking & audit system, consider this before you pick up the phone; that phone call may personally cost you up to $11,000 per call… or $11,000 per day. Without warning retroactive fines can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars because they are assessed from calls made retroactively back to when the first “Complainant Call” was made (and they pull your phone records)… NO WARNING NOTICE NEEDS TO BE GIVEN!

Real estate values remain the primary subject with every Realtor and Real Estate Office we walk into today, with many surprised to see lenders still calling on real estate offices. Indeed, many Realtors are exiting the business also. Newer real estate agents said it could not happen, but Southern California’s real estate market is stagnating as it has in the past real estate cycles. Just how deep this cycle will go is still a guess, but as with past cycles a mass exodus of lenders and realtors have many offices facing staff layoffs and closure. One major difference effects this cycle unlike past revaluation cycles, and that difference is the mortgage market itself.

(And for what it is worth we are wholesale corespondents with that "Big Awful Bank" on the corner "Bank of America," and over 150 other major banks and wholesale lenders).

Marketing Tools

Above & Beyond Realtor Support

Click Here To Learn About Free Loan Center For Your Web Site

Central City Mortgage & The Wright Team understand that Real Estate Listings & Sales revolve closely around the needs of the individual RE Agents that list & sell the actual properties, and have specialized (since 1990) in serving these needs. We specialize in Target & Pin-Point Marketing Programs that produce results plus have developed the marketing tools everyone else is trying to copy. Ed’s “Concierge Lending Services” represent a completely new level in “Full Service Lending” plus “Wright Team” Co-Op Marketing support for affiliated Realtors produces results... Combined it all equals “Above & Beyond Realtor Support.”

But just being a great “Team Player” is not enough; as a Lender it is also important to be current in product knowledge, well connected with the Wholesale Banking Account Executives (AEs) & Underwriters, and most importantly experienced… because assisting the buyer with securing the perfect loan is at least as important as finding the perfect home. Here are just a few areas “The Wright Team” leads the industry in…

1) CCM’s “RealOwn Software” instantly compares rates of multiple lenders typical of those from CCM's lists of wholesale lenders. This easily helps find the most competitive borrowing solutions for each client… and we provide this software to affiliate Realtors, so there are no rate games ever being played at any point of the transaction.
 
RealOwn Software also makes creating custom Agent branded Listing Fliers incredibly easy.

2) The Wright Team’s experienced Loan Officers will gladly break out the wholesale rate sheets and work with our client’s in assuring they receive the rates and terms that they want… with a full explanation.
With over 80% of our business coming from past clients & referrals we have to do a better job!

3) The Wright Team also leads the industry in Internet & Print Support Materials, Booklets & Flyers that assure our clients and Realtors are always updated and understand the status of their loan during the entire lending process, and that we will be ready to fund when it comes time to close escrow.

4) The Wright Team understands the importance of Confidentiality in the Lending Process… and although we assure the Realtor is always updated, client’s personal information remains privileged for those actually working with their loan. CCM does not list or sell homes and our referring Real Estate Agents are not “Captive” to RE Offices we own… (No Conflicting Interests or Confused Loyalties); we only assist with the loans; we simply excel in Support & Lending… Call us today!
