My brother is home with nothing to do but read my blog,
website, and social outlets about being a Calgary Mortgage Broker. His one
complaint was I needed more stories, needs to be funnier, compare some things, be
more awesome and Ohh yeah, it’s not simple enough. His one long winded complaint was heard and
this is for him.
Fred & Barney have been neighbors for years, and Pebbles
and Bamm-Bamm have grown up and moved out.
They decided during a meeting of the loyal order of Water Buffaloes they
should look for a nice retirement neighborhood to settle down in that Wilma and
Betty would appreciate in their golden years.
Fred knows that last time he went into the bank for a mortgage the clerk
laughed at him, but things have changed over the years. He gets in his peddle powered car a little
slower nowadays to go see that clerk again and show him who the boss is and to
find out if he is worthy of their credit.
Fred’s banker clerk welcomes him warmly into the bank, and
takes a break from opening an account for a new client to tell Fred to have a
quick seat and you will get looked after soon.
When the clerk is done with the account he beckons Fred into his
office. Fred explains his situation and
his needs to a retirement property and wanting a mortgage with his best
rate. He gets
their best rate possible after arguing for the entire afternoon, and he chooses
from their 3 mortgage products they have available. He leaves the bank feeling happy as clam, and
yells out Yabba Dabba Do, and he runs out with his approval.
Barney meanwhile has made a call and filled out an
application with Joe. Who then calls
the same bank that Fred is with currently and gets a rate and product lined up
there as well. Joe then took the application
and also shopped the products of 5 other banks that have good rates and benefits. He gets a call from Joe with 6 different places
and over 25 different mortgage products he could place his mortgage and even
though the rate is a little higher than a couple of the others he decides to go
with the bank that Fred and him both deal at for their savings.
The next day Fred and Barney are talking by the fence when
Fred starts to brag about the rate he got by arguing with the clerk over how
much lower his rate should be as he has been banking there for years and have
so much invested, with multiple products there! Barney did not want to burst Fred’s bubble
but Fred wants to know so badly what rate he was given. When Barney crumbles and gives out his rate,
Fred gets mad, Mad MAD!
This fit of rage
subsides as he comes to the realization that it was not Barney fault for having
a much better rate. Fred knows He argued
with that guy for hours getting that rate down, and Barney still has a lower
rate, he did not understand it one bit.
Fred goes down to the Bank, and takes out his bowling ball, and
is getting madder by the second, yelling and the bank manager and threatening
him with the bowling ball. The manager tries
to explain that because he did not have to pay the salary of the clerk, or pay
for an office of Joe he gets better rates than they offer in the branch. Fred launches his bowling ball and its hurdling
towards the manager’s head, when Gazoo shows up and stops time for Fred. Gazoo brings him back to before he signed
the paperwork, and he calls Joe Rockhead together with Barney, and they decide
to go to another bank that offered even lower rates and they both save
thousands of there hard earned money. Gazoo
says next time Dum Dums, you shop around and save money rather than being loyal
to someone who does not have your “best interests” at heart. Fred is so happy he jumps in the air, kicks
his heals together and yells Yabba Dabba DOOOOO!
