If I was a consumer and had 2 or more loan officers from the same company bidding on my loan I would not use any of them, especially if they have different rates and fees - looks suspicious.

Lindsey,
My thinking exactly. To me it would look cheesey at best to see two people from the same company offering me different rates and fees for the same loan program. I believe it would put a sour taste in the mouths of potential borrowers, cause in-house squabbles with people from the same company and downgrade the sites credibility.

Lindsey,
The yes, yes, yes! got me worked up!
Calm Down Linds... I was 1st on ZIll in my office and the other 2 had been warned not to duplicate efforts as it looks stupid especially against my bids.. I am only within 20 mi... so I told them,,, if they quote first.. have at it, but They haven't' and are not as consistent and have not found the boards to be a neat place.. But, you can't learn the dummies... when will they learn, but it really means they don't read any of it... Sad but true.

45,722 Mortgage Requests
219,763 Mortgage Quotes
4.8 per quote, this number was 3.1 or 3.2 two months ago, in general it seems the number of quotes per request is getting out of hand - can you say blurry eyed consumer?
what will it be in two months? 9 or 10 per?
where is the lender lid? would someone put it on please...

If you call Dewey, Cheatum and Howe you need to kind of expect what goes with it.

Not in his case.
Paul, I have seen numerous requests with 12 or 13 quotes on them..
I don't care if your talking about only lenders, talking about smaller regions, or whatever...
STUPID STUPID STUPID... you want exclusivity for $25, I'll give it to you, expecially rochems, who can't understand patronizing remarks above grade 8 level, exclusive rights to KMA available now!!!

Greg,
I don't think Martin agrees with limiting lenders by region. I think he was pointing out how stupid it makes them look. I am all for the competition looking stupid!

Funny Andrew,
However, I have respect for SunTrust LO's. Within the past three days, I have seen three of them quoting. SunTrust aint, Dewey, Cheatum and Howe.
I am also seeing same Lender with different people from othe companies as well. All of them with varying rates and fees.
Let's keep it simple. I am not asking to shut people out of the site. I am asking that two or more people from the same company shouldn't be bidding on the same loan request. A step further is to not bid on a area that the other has established.

Martin - I understand, it stinks. I agree whoever quotes 1st is the only one that should quote.
CL - LOL just excited about the dicussion

Greg,
I think yo missed the Dewey, Cheatum & Howe episode....
No suntrust is not but let's be real to look at a quote and under cut a guy that sit's in your office makes you look stupid and if the 3 or three LO's doing don't realize it they are idiots...

I see the point... Consumers are already a bit wary to some extent. If there are multiple quotes from lenders from the same company on the same transaction all with varying fees, rate, cost...ect, it can become a bit confusing. I recently had the same challenge. I did not quote, because I was not the first, and more importantly, because the initial poster was incorrect. With multiple lenders from the same company, I imagine there should be some consistency..and if you have the bait and switchers..think what that exposes you to. my .02 cents...but you're right, for 25 dollars what do you expect?

I am pretty thick skinned. But everytime I read a thread it starts off well then it gets personal and lacking in taste.
I through out a thought and asked all to share upon it---not to go back and read that so and so is bashing the other. Grow up, will you? You know who I am talking about. Monitor your own thread in your own industry.

Ken 12 -13 quotes? Safe to say that might make the system counter productive...
Here is some trivia:
What are the most quotes received on one mortgage request? Which one?
Did someone here get the deal? If so, they should be "Honorary Leader Board member of the day" (especially if it was mo going up against larry and curly)

Don't expect anything else from Rob GD...Ignore it and it goes away.
Featured Rates are based on state rates for 5/1 ARM loans and are valid for the date shown, but they may change without notice. They are for consumers with a credit rating of 720 or higher and a 20% or higher down payment. Rate, terms, pre-paid finance charges, and APR may vary based on factors such as creditworthiness of the applicant(s), self employment status of the applicant(s), condo or townhouse structure, loan amount, and geographic location of the property.
If a lender does not offer a national rate, a state rate may be shown next to the lender's name. For example, 'Bank name (CA)'.

I have recently noticed multiple people from the same Lender quoting. What I find odd is that if you look at the quotes each gives the rates and fees are different. I understand why but I truly believe this sends a mixed message to the borrowers.
Zillow should limit per region one person from the same Lender. This is fair and if one wants to join the Zillow community of Lenders but there is already somone in that region then the person markets a different one.
I would not want anyone from my company quoting against me as it would cause some problems to say the least.
This site is becoming successful to many of us as we work hard and with honesty to earn business. Saying this, it seems that everyone is hopping on the wagon and soon it will be saturated with Lenders from the same companies trying to do loans for nothing. Many of the quotes I see are below any profit already.
What do all of you think of this?
Greg
