It's becoming a struggle for independent, local market title and settlement services firms to compete with larger national outfits. But is this the beginning of the end for the small, local shop? I'm here to argue that it isn't. http://www.hollerbach.com/hollerbach-news-08.html E75379E9-BA61-4230-A286-FA6A50ECE00D-38933-0000F29D7AAA7839-F07 Wed, 12 May 2010 15:01:15 -0500 We read a lot these days about the "consolidation" of the real estate industry. Usually, that means that the big fish are gobbling up the little fish, and that's a natural part of business everywhere. Technology and other processes are being used to improve efficiencies. From a positive perspective, that means working smarter in an industry with historically narrow margins. http://www.hollerbach.com/hollerbach-news-09.html E75379E9-BA61-4230-A286-FA6A50ECE00D-38933-0000F29D7AAA7839-F08 Wed, 12 May 2010 15:01:15 -0500 It's hard to believe that Hollerbach & Associates opened its doors for the first time almost 3 decades ago. Now that makes me feel old! In 1985, a 30 year fixed mortgage could run some borrowers over 12 percent. http://www.hollerbach.com/hollerbach-news-10.html E75379E9-BA61-4230-A286-FA6A50ECE00D-38933-0000F29D7AAA7839-F0A Wed, 12 May 2010 15:01:15 -0500 As you know by now, the sky is falling on the mortgage industry. It has been for a few years. Nobody's borrowing. Fewer still are lending. But I have a secret to share. They will be borrowing (and lending) again soon. http://www.hollerbach.com/hollerbach-news-11.html E75379E9-BA61-4230-A286-FA6A50ECE00D-38933-0000F29D7AAA7839-F0B Wed, 12 May 2010 15:01:15 -0500
