If you were to list the benefits of going with the smaller shop, what would they be?

I thought about what you were saying. It is about building a relationship with the customer to a certain degree. I guess part of me is kind of looking at it from "Hey this is so and so from Chase, I saw you had expressed some interest in a refinance....." or "Hey this is so and so from CFIC....." and that's really only because of how many times I dealt with borrowers who had absolutely no idea who my previous company was.

I'm trying not to make this too difficult of a decision, I guess it's the fact that my prior experience was so bad.
