That’s one long pain in the ass reading for either a marketing piece or email that a broker would send out…you sure you didn’t sit down and write it yourself to troll for responses to your thread?
Nuclear winter? Don’t believe the all the hype. There are brokers that are busy doing what they do, it’s the guys that have either been in the business for a while or developed a referral network from all the good work they’ve done for other clients. The ones exiting the industry are the ones that needed to leave anyway, they’ll probably go back to selling another ‘hot’ product/service.
Personally, I’ve been just as or even more busy with shops closing up, other brokers/loan officers going MIA.
