Albuquerque’s housing market still unsettled

November 19th, 2010

Written by Frost Mortgage

The Albuquerque housing market reached a new low in October, and there are foreboding signs that it will continue falling through next spring.

Closed sales of existing homes declined 37.6 percent compared to Oct. 2009, according to the latest report from the Greater Albuquerque Association of Realtors.

Many thought the market had bottomed last year, and were surprised by the steep October drop. They now say 2009 was a false bottom, and with foreclosures on the rise, the market is heading toward its ultimate depths.

The Albuquerque metro region’s housing market has been sliding since early summer, when government subsidies …

July 9th, 2010

Written by Frost Mortgage

Frost Mortgage proudly supports the people who make our country and our communities great–especially those who selflessly protect us.

On Tuesday, July 13, from 1 to 3 p.m., at 2051 Wyoming Blvd. NE in Albuquerque (map), we will be grilling free Nathan’s Hot Dogs for members of the Albuquerque Police Department.

These men and women are heroes–they work daily to make our communities safe and they aren’t thanked enough. Please help us spread the word to these public servants–lunch is on us!

The aroma of grilled hot dogs and fresh donuts will be in the air in our neighborhood that week, as Albuquerque’s second Krispy Kreme donut shop opens the same day at 5:30 a.m. across the street from the Frost Mortgage national headquarters across from the Wyoming Mall. The Krispy Kreme team will be joining us in honoring the Albuquerque Police Department. Beginning at 1 p.m. and continuing through 3 p.m., officers can stop by the Wyoming Frost Mortgage office, located directly across from the new Krispy Kreme location for free donuts.

Greg Frost Sr.: Learn to succeed

June 28th, 2010

Written by Greg Frost

The great breakthroughs in your life will come when you realize that you can learn anything you need to learn to accomplish any goal that you set for yourself.  This means that there are no limits on what you can be, on what you can have, or on what you can accomplish.

Goals are nothing more than dreams, to which you have attached a time limit.  Set your goal and then seek out all information that you can to learn all that you can about your chosen endeavor.  Then you will be ready to go out and achieve it.

Start by finding out all you can about what the most successful people in your arena did to become successful. Do what they did, over and over again, and you will eventually enjoy the same results.  Emulate the best and you will become one of them.

I was noted as the 1^st Billion Dollar mortgage originator back in 2000.  I had been originating since 1985.  I built my business in a full doc business environment before FICO scores, AUS systems, slim doc, no doc, fast and easy, stated income etc.  My personal origination expertise was gained originating the same products that we are all originating today.  I was able to distinguish myself, in my market, by putting a recognizable face on the word “service”.  I did this by succinctly defining my service with daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly activities that my clients (Realtor Referral Partners) and our mutual business (Borrowers) could readily recognize and appreciate.  This strategy will work for you today.

Do you feel challenged by your current environment?  Are you struggling with your business model?  Are you concerned that you will not be able to function in this new era of massive regulation changes and their inherent risk?  Are you struggling with redirecting your sales and marketing efforts to a more productive opportunity pool?

I am President of a production Division of Primary Residential Mortgage, Inc.  In addition, I am their VP of National Training.  I think that I am uniquely qualified to offer you a dynamically profitable business model along with market tested production mentoring, the combination of which should give you every advantage.

Loan officer candidates — a smart bunch

June 9th, 2010

Written by Frost Mortgage

Roughly 71% of loan officers pass the national test to become qualified mortgage professionals the first time they take the exam, according to new figures released by the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System. The state (first-time) pass rate is even better: 78%, according to NMLS. The results reflect tests administered between July 30 of last year and April 30, 2009.

via National Mortgage News – mortgage industry news | mortgage information | commercial real estate.

Loan officers are in general a pretty sharp group of people. They’re highly motivated, driven to succeed, and almost always multitalented. And so, it’s no surprise that so many are achieving their licensing on the first go-round.

In any business, though, the testing is continuous, and a professional is always in training for the next level, whether that’s an official certification or just a step up in his or her capacity or skills.

If you’re looking to make that next step, we’re looking for you. We seek out top performers who will appreciate the unparalleled mortgage platform we can provide, please get in touch with us today. We think you’ll be glad you did.

Frost Mortgage partners with Hispano Chamber on literacy outreach (with photos)

June 8th, 2010

Written by Frost Mortgage

Frost Mortgage Banking Group, in an effort led by Greg Frost Jr., collected 300 books for Open Book Day on June 4 to help children in local schools get a jump start on summer reading. Frost is committed to promoting literacy and supporting the local community, and is proud to have been a sponsor of the Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce’s event.

Statistics show that children who have not developed literacy skills by the time they begin school are 3-4 times more likely to drop out of school later.  Over 1 million children drop out of school each year, costing the nation $240 billion in lost earnings, forgone tax revenues and expenditures for social services (statistics from www.readfaster.com). Frost is dedicated to providing local children with learning opportunities so they can beat these odds, regardless of situation.

“This is an incredible way to open doors for our community,” Frost Jr. said. “We’re proud to be able to give back.”

Open Book Day took place June 4 in the Lockheed Martin Board Room at the Hispano Chamber, 1309 4^th Street SW, and included storytellers, snacks, giveaways, summer reading information, and of course, books!
