October 05, 2007 - What is the best way to find a good Mortgage Broker these days? How about an Attorney, a Real Estate Agent (Realtor) or an IT Consultant. Many people and business find personal and business service professionals through referrals from friends or business associates. However what works for one person or business does not always work for another.
There are other sources like that big old obsolete yellow mass of bound paper called the yellow pages. Open it up and flip though the countless pages of expensive ads and listings. But how do you determine who to call? Do you choose the big ads, the small ads or do you just call the listings? Businesses pay thousands of dollars for those big ads. The next step is to pick up the phone and spend the next 20 minutes calling the various service businesses you somehow choose to call.
Hopefully you won’t have to make too many calls and will be able to actually get a hold of someone who can give you a price quote and timeline of when they can perform the service.
