Show Notes

This podcast episode is cross branded with a new weekly podcast I'm hosting and producing on behalf of Bridge Association REALTORS®.

I thought I would take the opportunity to highlight the second podcast I've been hard at work on, The Bridge Association of REALTORS® Podcast, by publishing an episode to the Let's Talk, with Declan Spring podcast.

Today I’m chatting with Bridge AOR affiliate member and mortgage lender Evelyn Freitas, with Guaranteed Rate. 

Evelyn has been a mortgage lender since 2004, entering the profession after 18 years in small business management and accounting. Evelyn fell in love with the work of helping people achieve their financing and family goals through home ownership and realized that the skills she had developed in her previous career found a higher expression in the service of these goals. 

We discuss what it is buyers' should ask when qualifying a loan agent, what types of products and services are offered by various lenders, and what level of care and communication buyers' and REALTORS® should expect from a loan agent.  We also talk about the recent CalHFA Dream for All program and its sudden and incredibly quick withdrawal from the market, and I ask Evelyn if other types of down payment assistance or equity sharing programs exist.
