“The settling of the market and the rebuilding of the industry. I feel that it will be slow and the reeducation of all parties in our industry will need to be the No. 1 topic. How we did business last year or in the past has no bearing on how we must work today. Guidelines have changed and back to a basic industry will be the key.”
- Carolyn McMoran, National City Mortgage, a division of National City Bank
“I am looking forward to finding people their dream home. I just closed a home that last year sold for $950,000 and we got it for my clients for $450,000 in foreclosure. I believe that we will be able to find clients’ homes that exceed their expectations and homes they can live in for a lifetime.”

So I’m in this to build customers for the long haul!”
- Chris Romo, Exit 1 Stop Realty
