Are you easy to work with?  Or does your client have to make all of the effort?  Do you proactively communicate or does the client have to always ask what is going on? Let's face it, when you hire a professional you don't want it to be more work for you?

Communication is one of the biggest reason consumers don't think you are easy to work with and why you may be getting bad reviews.  There is a very thin line between a happy client and one who is angry.  Most often the difference is nothing more than a missed e-mail or unreturned phone call.

Aaron Weiche of Leadferno joins me today to discuss Five Ways to Improve Customer Communication! It is so easy and common sense.

Many consumers think that interest rates are at an all-time high and that buying a house is so much more expensive now than it was this summer.  That would be incorrect.  As of the first of December 2022 interest rates are lower now than in June and just slightly more than in April.  But even if rates go up or are higher than this spring and summer, buying a house is vastly cheaper in most cases because of the end of the appraisal gap and multiple offers. 

James Fleshman of Foundation Mortgage joins me on Dishin' Dirt to discuss the math of payments, interest rates, down-payments and appraisal gap and how it makes buying a house now so much better than this previous spring and summer.
