I actually like to use professional services, from CPA, Attorney, even handyman, etc. Most of them aregood, and they will earn their share of money.
I even used two mortgage coaches before. One taught me to setup my website and asked me to write the mortgage blogs(So I did for a few years now), and another one toldme how to find the "niche" market. According to him,he recommended to work on reverse mortgages, which I do not think is a good market to me, since most of my old customers do not need reverse mortgages.
Monday was a Boston Marathon Day, I spent most of themorning to track the friends' finishing time. Not surprisingly that one lady from the same running clubfinished around 2:53. His finishing time was 8thfor her age group. And I know used a remote coach.I did not check with her which coach she used, But I indeed noticed her improvement for the past 12months. And she indeed works very hard.
So I found a coach yesterday as well, we just had the plan for San Francisco half marathon first, thenSep 10k, then Dec Marathon. Will let you know guyshow it goes.
Not everyone has good memories. I am working on a loanfor my client in Sacramento. To her surprise, we found that her CPA did not file the 2011 tax amendment for her.And his excues were that he asked her to file the amendmentherself. She would do it if she got the two copies(one for her to keep, one to IRS). We are glad that the lenderstill approved the loan and we will signoff this week.But this CPA ruined his reputation.
And from that experience, not all professionals are good.
