    No kidding. We can include these guys as part of the "strong employment market" that makes the "fundamentals" in Seattle so special.

    Plus I like the idea of a "mortgage workout":

    "Come on people! Raise those ARMs!. That's it! Now hit the floor and give me 20%!"
  • Just another name for repo-man?

    My guess is they work with hard money lenders looking for leads.
  • Third party intermediaries collect a fee at closing, to help a homeowner negotiate with the bank when a homeowner must sell and owes more than the home is worth.

    This is tedious, labor intensive work with a very low profit margin. I noticed that this firm also (surprise!) also offers refinancing services.

    Interestingly, I do not find either name of the two gentlemen listed as owners in the state database of licensed mortgage brokers or loan originators. There's nothing on their website to say how their company is licensed (a state violation.)

    I'd say this looks like an opportunity for two dudes to make a buck tossing foreclosure-bound subprime clients into hard money loans.
