Today, I had the opportunity to be on the local Fox affiliate, KSWB 5 in San Diego.

It was my first time to be interviewed on television, and I had some nervous anticipation as I tried to prepare for any questions that would come my way.

What I found interesting was that some of the questions were a bit surprising to me, but they really should not have been.  It was a reminder that it is easy to spend each day answering e-mails and phone calls, reviewing lender guidelines, and working toward developing new business.  Sometimes, what gets lost in the day is learning more about what is important to the general public, and what is on their minds about the mortgage industry.

Erica Fox's questions gave me a renewed glimpse as to what consumers may be thinking about if they are not actively seeking a loan at the present time.

My goal in providing The Brennecke Report is to educate you as prospective borrowers about the changes in the mortgage environment and to prepare you for when you are ready to take action.  I will continue to do my best to address timely topics that I think may be of interest to you and I would like to request that you give me some ideas of what you would like more information about.   

So, please comment on this post with topics that you would like me to address, or if you prefer, please send me an e-mail at ideas@dougbrennecke.com with your suggestions.

Thank you for your interest in The Brennecke Report, and I hope that each of you has a blessed holiday season.
