The most successful companies in the world choose words carefully when they create their advertising taglines. You can learn from their advertising strategy and experience. Treat your mortgage tagline as a critical part of your marketing campaign and choose your words very carefully.
In case you don’t know what a tagline is…it’s a short (usually one line) advertising blurb that aids in establishing credibility for you. Your mortgage tagline helps customers and prospects to feel that calling you and working with you is a “safe” choice. Your tagline can help drive business for you.
The really nice thing about taglines other than they work, is…they’re absolutely free! Once developed, they sort of tag-a-long and enhance all of your mortgage marketing material and summarize your advertising message in one short sentence.
How much more effective could your advertising be if you treated your tagline as a sales opportunity? With just a few additions and small adjustments, you could significantly improve the power of the tagline in your ads, and improve your return on your advertising investment.
Here are a few examples of some highly profitable taglines: Coke – “The Real Thing”, Pepsi – “The Choice of a New Generation,” Maxwell House Coffee – “Good to The Last Drop,” Budweiser – “The King of Beers,” All of these companies know that their tagline is a sales opportunity, and they use every word carefully to take full advantage of that opportunity.
One thing to keep in mind is that the key to creating your very own “mortgage brand” or “mortgage tagline” begins with creativity. You want people to think of you when they think of mortgages. Make sure your brand has an emotional ring to it. The right choice makes people want to do business with you and actually creates customer loyalty. The right brand tugs at their heart strings and says “buy me.”
If your business card says “Vice President” that’s great…except it really doesn’t describe exactly what you do, does it? Instead let’s use the title “Home Loan Consultant” or “Investment Specialist” instead.
Now, not only do you have a great title, but the title describes to folks exactly what you do and what you’ll be talking to them about. There’s no mistake here…you don’t work for an Automobile Dealership, or a Dry Cleaner, or whatever. You are involved in loans and mortgages.
If you’re having a problem getting started, just Google your competition and the consumer goods industry, then convert their marketing campaign and sales message into your very own mortgage business strategy. Work your chosen tagline into every single facet of your business plan and marketing program.
By simply improving the power of your tagline, you can improve the response to your marketing material, improve the return on your advertising investment, and improve your mortgage business. Go for it!
We hear the word all over. A couple of years ago, they were being signed like they were going out of fashion; a large mortgage was akin to a large salary at the end of month. But the times have changed and in Dave Ramsey’s words, the paid-off home mortgage has taken the place of the BMW as the status symbol of choice.
But, what does exactly mean? The word ‘mortgage’ comes from the Old French and Latin. In Latin, mori (turned into the mort- part in ‘mortgage’ in Old French) means ‘death’ and -gage means ‘pledge’. Thus the words: ‘death pledge’.
The word mortgage comes from the Old French and Latin. In Latin, mori (turned into the mort- part in mortgage in Old French) means death and -gage means pledge. Thus the words: death pledge.
I can see how, hundreds of years ago, taking on a 30 year mortgage was comparable to signing yourself into bondage for life. As Earl Wilson correctly put it, if you think nobody cares about you try missing a couple of mortgage payments. Thats the ultimate Litmus test for love.
Funny words aside, etymologically, mortgage means that the pledge dies either when the obligation is fulfilled or when payment fails and the property is repossessed.
Interestingly, the French use mutated back into hypothque, derived from the classic Greek and meaning to put something under something else.
In some countries, like France and Spain where they have a civil-law system, a mortgage is closely or even solely related to a loan against real estate or property whereas in common-law, it represents any device in which a debtor (mortgagor) conveys an interest in property to a creditor (mortgagee) as security for the payment of a money debt. The Anglo-American definition has a broader meaning than its civil-law cousin, the hypothec.

They are deemed to be invasive species that are mostly found along the shores of Gasparilla Island and the coastline of the gulf of Florida. They are commonly seen in the beach and attics of houses.

In terms of territorial behavior, a male iguana will fight tooth and nail with other male iguanas even if their life is at risk. They do this to win supremacy over the territory.

The real estate brokerage business in Ethiopia is not as well developed as in other countries. You dont see large and established real estate brokerage companies so common in western countries. Here, buyers and sellers for Ethiopia homes rely on local agents, commonly known as Delalas. For the most part, these are traditional agents with no formal training in real estate but who basically mediate between buyers and sellers for Ethiopia real estate. Through word of mouth or their special network, these agents know the areas they operate in very well.
When you want to sell or buy Ethiopia homes, you just call one of these agents and tell them of your intention. These agents, in turn, inform their associates who would help them find prospective buyers or sellers as the case may be. In many cases, the Delalas work in groups of two or three and split their commission according to who was the principal negotiator and who did the most work.
A great deal of negotiation is involved in buying Ethiopia homes. Asking prices can be as high as 50% more than the final sale prices. Negotiations can take weeks, and even months in some cases. Expect to walk out of a negotiation a few times. In many cases, the Delalas play critical role in convincing both sellers and buyers to come to terms.
In general, Delalas do not help customers in completing the legal paperwork needed to complete the Ethiopia Real Estate transaction. This must be done by the buyer and seller themselves and may take several months. It is very important that buyers check the authenticity of seller documents before buying real estate in Ethiopia. Otherwise, they can waste crucial time and/or money in such endeavor. For a small fee, people who are less skilled with the Ethiopian bureaucracy may seek the help of legal assistants locally called Guday Asfetsami.
Home mortgages are hard to come by in Ethiopia. Most Ethiopia real estate transactions are conducted on cash basis. Mortgage financing may be obtained in some cases, but primarily for new homes built by developers. These companies negotiate financing terms with local banks in advance for all of their clients. Basically, they arrange group deals for their clients those who can put the required down payment. Down payments vary from 20 to 40%. Although most mortgages are for 10-20 years in duration, some companies arrange mortgages for as long as 30 years. Interest rates are variable and depend on the prevailing interest rate fixed by the Ethiopian central bank.
It is estimated that there are about sixty local and six foreign real estate development operators in Ethiopia. Examples of local developers include Sunshine Real Estate, Ayat Real Estate, Gift Real Estate, and Ambassador Real Estate. A major problem with homes built by some of these companies is the time it takes to complete construction. In the past, some of these homes were completed many years past their due dates. And some Ethiopia homes never made it to completion.
So, who can buy homes in Ethiopia? Anyone can buy real estate in Ethiopia as long as he/she is an Ethiopian citizen, foreign national of Ethiopian origin, or has Ethiopian parents. To see the latest listing of residential and commercial properties for sale or rent, please visit sites such as Ezega Real Estate, which is the largest real estate portal in Ethiopia and lists hundreds of homes for sale and/or rent at any given time. Anyone can register and post properties there for sale or rent for free.
