Dallas Area Realtor® friends ...... today I dropped the ball. We had noted TREC expert and defense attorney Blake Cox come and speak to our office about all of the changes taking place with TREC rules, forms, compliance, enforcement, etc. It wasn't MCE, it was just real world information to make us all better at what it is we do. In hindsight, I should have invited you. It was absolutely informative and well worth 2 hours of everyone's time. When we do these kind of things in the future, how many of you would like an invite? Message me if you'd like to be on our mailing list.

Why mortgage rates matter this weekend

Mortgage application volume surged a week ago, when a disappointing employment report sent mortgage rates down to their lowest level in months. The stock market, however, bounced back this week, which turned interest rates around yet again. Mortgage rates are now slightly higher than a week ago.
