Getting Lender to Respond
Has anybody ever had a problem with getting a lender to answer the phone or respond via email?
I am starting to see a trend with the loan officers that I have solicited.
It is very difficult to get them to respond to my phone calls or to pick up the phone and get them on the line. And they have these gatekeepers who say they do not know their boss' schedule when I ask when he will be available.
I am thinking about taking time off work to walk into the credit union and say, "is there someone here who can help me get a loan?"
Do loan officers make commissions? Why is it so difficult to pay someone to loan commissions? You think they would want the money.

Don't waste your time on people that are unresponsive. Go somewhere else that actually wants your business and is willing to serve you.
