Calling all Loan Originators!!! I've been in the mortgage industry for 5 years now (3 years as a Realtor, 2 as a loan originator).

Last years rates, anyone could have done well. You didn't have to sell a mortgage, people just applied.

With the market where it is today, what are some of you doing to counter the "rates are too high" comment from buyers?

I've gone back to my SOI and have been getting some deals and referrals to keep me afloat but would love to hear some of your Best Practices.

Is there some type of document I can sign to protect myself and my assets when buying a new property?

Why are properties in NYC so damn expensive? At this point should I just move elsewhere?

As realtors, our worst and best friend are the contractors, being friends with the contractor that remodelled a home you are going to sell is a plus because you can know for sure what kind of improvements were made to the house and why; and what kind of things are pending to be improved, that way you can provide real information to the client. You know what they say: a happy client always comes back to you.

Okay I’ll admit it, staging homes might be my favorite part of preparing for house showings. My inner professional home decorating gets excited! Career switch maybe? - Confessions of a Realtor

Anyone else bummed to see so many clients getting outbid? So many awesome people who deserve the house of their dreams that just can't get anywhere with today's market. It's rough.

Has anyone noticed how attractive realtors are or is it just me? Recent studies show the more attractive the real estate agents, the higher the listing price of the home.

Realtors: are there any listings you've ever regretted selling? Why/why not?

I bought a house six months ago and while doing some redecorating, I found black mold behind the wallpaper in the kitchen. Didn't the previous owners have to disclose this to me, by law?

What is the best piece of advice you have gotten from one of your coworkers in the real estate industry?

I want to sell my house but there seems to be water damage and I’m worried someone will lowball me, what should I do?

Currently, I have a "sales drought." It's been 2 months that I have not achieved anything and everyone tells me it's normal, but I feel it will be forever. Since I started, I have done very well, but now I do not know what is happening- nothing works as before.

My home had some water damage last year (water heater was leaking), so I had to do some repairs and took care of most of the work myself. If I refi, will my home have to pass an inspection?

What do you check for when you go to view your properties in advance?

It always seemed like real estate was one of the safest things to invest in. Then the crash of ‘09 happened, and the market bounced back for a while. And now we’re in… whatever this is. It just seems surreal.

My motto is if it makes the sale go faster, I’ll stage it using my home décor skills. In return this means $$$$ in my pocket and referrals.

Hear me out! I left my 15 year career in the corporate world to pursue being a realtor.1) It was never boring
2) It was the most challenging
3) It was extremely rewarding to be able to help families find their dream homes
