Humor In Mortgage Lending & Real Estate Sales
by Kate Ford

Mortgage lending and real estate sales are stressful. Just ask any first time home buyer! It's not exactly like financial transactions are remembered for their levity. After all, we're giving up our life savings in return for the perfect place we'll call home.

It Only Hurts When I Laugh

But just like a ray of sunshine peeking through storm clouds, a little real estate and mortgage humor goes a long way in providing comic relief.

My Name Is Kate Ford

Hi, my name is Kate Ford. For several decades, the privilege of working side by side with homeowners and home buyers was mine. I always intended to author a book about my experiences. But busy working, I kept putting it off.

By the way, you can read about me at Get-Your-Best-Mortgage-Rate.com, my other website, to find out why I retired early.

Queen of Real Estate And Mortgage Greatness

Ask Kate about buying a first home

Now there is little doubt about it, I possess a good memory. In fact, my brother tagged me Queen of Trivia years ago.

But I prefer how my clients and co-workers renamed me, Kate the Great!

To get back to the point, in the midst of mortgage and real estate transactions I witnessed bits of humor that helped alleviate stress. And I like to share some of the fun with you - Meet Nellie at First Time Home Buyer's Loan Approval.

My name is Kate the Great and it only hurts when I laugh!
