When did you start your website and why?
Started my website 3 years ago, it has been a long process. I changed and this website has been up for only 2 months. I started the website to help people find good lenders to work with. There are so many mortgage lenders that simply lack experiance and rip people off.
Please give us a short summary of your website, business model, etc
I have a network of lenders here in washington state, they all have over 5 years experiance and specialize in various areas. When someone fills the form out on our website, I cutom match them with one of these lenders depending on what their specific needs are. All of these lenders provide free no obligation mortgage consultations. It is very pressure free for the borrower.

Time for content and getting quality links. I am currently getting ready to add a lot of content such as free reports to help educate people, and an about us page telling more about our service.

Nothing has been easy, I thought it was going to be easy but was I wrong. It takes a lot of work to build a quality website and get traffic.

Hiring out some of the work on the site, I should of had more direct control over the structure and grafics. Now I have to go back and do it myself
