Every time.  EVERY TIME.  Every time the Fed cuts rates, mortgage ads fly from everyone's social media pages - "NOW IS THE TIME TO REFINANCE!!".  The phones start ringing.  "HELLO, I SAW THE FED CUT RATES, WHERE ARE RATES NOW!?". There is perhaps no more confusing moment for the general mortgage marketplace than when the Fed cuts rates.  Naive (and inexperienced) loan officers offer up their oft-incorrect take, or their personal-gain position of "it means now's the time to refi!".  Realtors help spread the (mis)information, and the few, the proud, the Mar...I mean, the mortgage & real estate veterans, carry on knowing that what the Fed rate cut means isn't what most people believe it means. I'd like to clear up the misconceptions, and provide a factual take on what the Fed rate cut mean... 09/20/2024

Photo Journalism on 9/20/2024 by Patricia Feager There is a lot to learn about Nature in Denton County, Texas. LLELA (Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area) is local to residents for an admission fee in Lewisville, Flower Mound, Highland Village and several other cities in the County. In reference to nature, Marcus Aurelius, a Stoic Philosopher and Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 (Rome, Italy) said a lot in just 16 Words, exactly 37 words less than the ActiveRain 2024 September Blog 53 Words Challenge: Nature does nothing in vain, and so whatever is, is for the sake of something else." As a reminder, there are 10 days left before the September 2024 Challenge comes to an end. Marcus Aurelius' quote has been on my mind. What have you learned that you can sum up in 53 words, no more, n... 09/20/2024

When I wrote a post last Friday, 09/13/2024, on Customer Service I said there was more to the story. Here it is.I had taken my GMC Yukon in for service on a list of items, one of which was my cruse control quit working. It died a on again, off again death.This post is more of a question to you then that of a condemnation of the service provider.The shop that was servicing my vehicle called me and informed me that my cruse control died due to a short. They had spent 2 hours on it and said they knew what wire it was but it went into a wiring harness and did not know where it went from there. Did I want them to continue. Wait, wait, wait! You spent two hours to get that far? Let's see... two hours at $100.00 an hour and there is no telling how much longer it will take? I think NOT! It is m... 09/20/2024
