Attention realtor partners and homebuyers! Rates have shifted up steadily over the last two weeks particularly the last two days. It's the height of buying season so if you are shopping this weekend for a home and get something under contract i'd recommend not waiting until Monday to lock. We have a handful of aggressive lenders that allow us to lock outside of normal banking hours. Let's get you under contract can get your loan locked asap!

Retail loan officers — honest question. Have you ever had a deal fall apart only to find it was closed somewhere else?

I’m attending a Retail-to-Wholesale training this week that dives into how brokers structure deals like these using multiple lenders and specialty programs.

I’m allowed to invite a few retail LOs to sit in on the training with me. UWM sponsored. June 16-17. Flight, hotel, meals covered.

No recruiting pitch — just a chance to see how the broker side works. Worst case scenario you are educated on your competitors.

If you're curious, send me a message.

What is a flex term loan? I have an answer!

"Flex term loans offer fixed-rate options beyond traditional 30, 20, 15, and 10-year terms. Our lenders provide loans for any preferred increment. For example, if you have 17 years remaining on a 20-year commercial loan for a residential investment property, we can offer a customized 17-year fixed loan to match your current term, rather than restarting with a new 20-year loan or switching to a 15-year fixed."

My mother and Nate's wife shared the same spirit animal. My mother would bring cheese in her purse to put on our Quarter Pounders. Let me help save money on your mortgage so you can leave your cheese at home where it belongs.

Comedian Nate Bargatze hilariously explains why your ketchup is gross in this side-splitting stand-up routine. Get ready to laugh out loud! 😂😂 ...
