How to Watch Mortgage Rates Go Up and Down

If you're considering taking advantage of the historic low rates and you're not quite ready to commit to working with a Mortgage Professional, I suggest you watch this short presentation.  I'll share a few tips to help you gauge which direction rates are trending and when you're ready, I'm happy to do the rate watching for you.

Seattle Real Estate Bar Camp and Seattle Unchained is this week!

If you’re not in the real estate or mortgage industry, this post might be a big *yawn* REBCSea for you.  My apologies!  However, if you are a real estate agent or mortgage originator, you should consider checking out these events (if there’s still room).

The big daddy is Real Estate Bar Camp which takes place this Friday beginning at 9:00 a.m. in downtown Seattle.  I’m actually leading a break-out session with Brian Brady for fellow mortgage professionals and I’ll be involved (learning or teaching) other events throughout the day.   If you are going to RE Bar Camp, be sure to visit the web site and chime in what you would like to learn or teach soon.

Come a day early on Thursday afternoon and you’ll catch Seattle Unchained.  I’ll be involved on a panel with fellow bloggers at this event.

Zillow was kind to provide space at their headquarters in downtown Seattle at 999 – 3rd Avenue, Floor 41 for both events.

I’m really looking forward to sharpening my tools at these (un)seminars.  I’ll be returning emails and phones over the weekend.
