Will Brent Bring Down Zillow Mortgage?

I like Zillow Mortgage Marketplace.  I really do. 

I can't say I like the Mortgage people who are there right now.

Here comes a RANT....

Case in Point: 

Here's a wonderful piece of  trash.  This was a quote request where the Walnut Creek homeowner was looking for a real rate quote on a 30 yr. fixed mortgage.

This bucket of loan officer scum (not harsh enough) used the platform to spam this homeowner on one of the biggest scams going right now. 

The Home Ownership Accelerator. (click to read all about the program)

or if you like a little outside reading, here's 100,000 pages on the topic

Let's look a little deeper into his profile...

borat_05_600As Borat would say, "very nice!"

Brent is a Quote Farmer.  

He's a Scammer, a Spammer, a Liar and Cheat.  He and so many others like him, are the reason my industry holds such a poor image in the public eye today.

Chances are he has hired people to blast out as many un-quotes a day as possible.

Brent isn't alone.  Right now, Zillow is crawling with Bait and Switch Artists.

Some look like they are a single person (like Brent) but are in fact a corporation.  If enough people complain about Brent, they just replace Brent with John.  When John is retired they have Pete, and so on.

I know I'm being harsh on Brent.  I'm pissed as hell (pardon my language) that Zillow is going to allow Brent and the others to continue.  And they will. 

They believe it's up to the consumer to decipher the difference.  In the end, Zillow will be just fine.  Just like bad sellers on eBay haven't brought down that system.

Ok, I'm done Ranting.  Back to work.

Hi Mike, it's David G from Zillow,

The lender in question is currently suspended from quoting loans on Zillow. The reviewer's account is disabled.

We're committed to enforcing the Zillow Mortgage Marketplace code of conduct. Poor service will be highlighted via the review system but we have zero tolerance for dishonesty.

Thanks!

David
