This is a nation wide issue but just want to make sure you realize.

Outstanding education, local and national meetings and lots of networking.

My husband has worked for one of the largest national home builders for 23 years.

We try to go 1 step further than the national builders we are competing with.

@Chris Blackburn, while I can't speak to this specifically, there are a few red flags I see in your post.1: A Realtor has to be a member of the national association of realtors, an industry trade group primarily focused on your typical home buyer.  

It also has the largest market cap so it's too large for 51% attacks even by nation states.

Establishing a relationship with a few of them locally or nationally [if you have a network] would be extremely beneficial.

A year or two ago she switched to a very well known national agency.

I was just reaching out to see if anyone knew of any regional/national lenders that do small balance loans.

Love the part of your post about "worshiping God and serving men and women!"
