And not only because you so graciously mentioned my name. :) I love meeting fellow copywriters (my so-called competitors) and have developed very mutually beneficial relationships with them. I think there is enough business to go around, and everyone has their unique skill sets or niches. I look forward to attending one of your Meetups soon!  Mickey, I love this post!

Would sincerely recommend them to anyone. Their rates are fair, their customer service is very helpful, their loan representatives are helpful and return phone calls promptly. I am very happy with Nutter as my mortgage company. Mary Sedlock New Jersey I have been with Nutter for years, probably 12 years, and have refinanced 4 times with them.

"Every individual does what is best for the whole." I think the days of competition are ending.  Too many small companies are competing with the big-dogs these days, thanks to the internet.   Ministers need to realize they aren't in competition with other ministers.  They can grow, and equip each other.  Iron sharpens iron.

Thanks for making me realize I need to pay Google+ a little more attention.

Nutter and Co. is in the "MORTGAGE" business NOT the social networking business. I just closed a re-fi with them at no cost with a 2 point lower fixed rate. It was fast and the only issue was they didn't know that NC changed policy and they couldn't use a notary to do the closing, so they set up a local attorney and even overnighted the check to pay the attorney. Now that's customer service. I do believe James B. Nutter and Co. is in the “MORTGAGE” business NOT the social networking business.

It can be quite difficult deciding on which event to spend the most time networking at. I've seen plenty of folks who just try to speak w/ as many people as possible, thinking quantity over quality I guess. Maybe he wasn't good at conveying what was going on at the time. Lots of people in dire situations too w/ their business. Also you just have to be wary of potential scam or con artists out there.
