A Brand New Look In the Mortgage Industry!

A new look to the Mortgage Brokers Industry ... from a small town to "Global Domination" just by helping you Beat the Banks!

This is the mother of all mortgage blogs, and we don’t take that responsibility lightly, like some.*ahem* We don’t know if you realize this yet but our words will become scripture in about 200 years or so, which means that we have to make our blogs that much more epic. Once you begin reading you will notice that James Loewen and his associates won’t hold back with their witty banter and strong opinions, but there is an upside to all of this. Periodically you will notice that something called “information” will sneak though (that tricky little pest) and you may actually learn something of value from our blogs. Please note that all references to “learning” are subject to change without notice, and may or may not occur, depending on your diagnosis.

So now that you know who’s your daddy, let’s get down to what we will be blogging about. Mortgages, rates, and how amazing we are. I think that’s all you need to get reading, don’t you?
