You actually have had the pleasure Lauren, on more than one occasion. I believe you have even been to my offices

[L_LOTT_ARF]

No I have not, Matt.

L Lott please email your ISO agreement to Eddie.deangelis@vmccapital.com. We had many deals asking for a weekly payment and lines of credit. Give me a call as well on Monday 267-569-7107

We've placed some ARF deals through the years and never had an issue. Only person who met the client for closing was a Notary. We still get paid renewals on deals that originally funded years ago.

ARF has a niche. If a deal fits the box they're tough to beat.

On another thread topic, I'm not sure why a broker would be upset about a funder calling the client. Funders are the ones with the financial risk. They have every right to glean as much info as possible before hitting the button. Client calls are an integral part of final approval on a larger deal. Smaller deals should be looser though.

I haven't heard of funders stepping in to whittle down commissions. When I request contracts on a deal, I've already sold it with the commission I'm expecting. The funder only steps in to process the paperwork and fund the deal.

thats a different situation... I'm talking about, if i call to close the deal for my broker (in the instance that he is being inundated with work or is having a hard time with the merchant and needs a new voice)... I'll close deals for my brokers and I'll pay them as much as possible... I do this because I don't want to lose the business, I value my brokers. I deal with quite a few ISO shops and some guys don't want me to call simply because they want control or they are playing two sides of the fence (which is always viewed as shady) and some guys would rather me close for them, its less work for them and they still get paid the same as if they closed it themselves... If my broker says "no, dont call.." I wont call, but I'm still going to view it as shady, because I know they are playing the game, we are going to have to call at some point to fund the deal, so what is the difference...
