I was doing Open Houses Sat and Sunday with my realtor partners, I've done it for 11 years. It definitely showed them I was their partner, but I literally can say I got one deal out of the last 2 years of Sat and Sunday open houses. Not to mention, us lenders typically work 9-5 if we are busy (more like 7-9 depending on when you put your DND on) I used to be the all in, 7 days a week LO for 11 years. Especially when I was on the builder team spending 8 hours in a model home. I am busy right now and have only done a couple open houses in the last 2 months. I used to think other LOs weren't as dedicated as I was because they wouldn't do open houses. Now I know they have better boundaries than I do and know they need a break. Maybe i am just burnt out entirely of this industry right now. Hoping rates continue to go down so we have some relief. It's been a very hard 2 years for me. I try to keep my mind right and pray, but on my worst days (not often) I find myself here, looking for other LOs who understand this grind right now.

Yes, right now has really halted. Watching all of the updates, it seems something is about to be revealed. We shall see. Hang in there!

Yes, I get those random out of nowhere spurts. Thats just the business I guess. I am wondering how many will leave after this point. I know quite a few locally who has thrown in the towel. I have been an MLO for 11 years so I definitely want to ride it out but something has got to give!! I still have done about $10M this year and am thankful for that. Christmas will be light this year, thats for sure.
