Description

You sell homes—but how confident are you in what happens after the contract is signed?

In this RISE Huddle & Hustle, we’re breaking down the mortgage fundamentals every Realtor needs to understand to protect deals, set proper client expectations, and strengthen lender partnerships. This isn’t “Mortgage 101.” It’s the real-world knowledge that rarely gets taught—but makes all the difference between a smooth closing and a last-minute scramble.

We’ll cover:

• How the mortgage process really works—from pre-approval to clear-to-close
• Common misconceptions that can derail deals (and how to avoid them)
• What lenders look for during underwriting—and why it matters to you
• How to better prepare buyers before they go under contract
• Red flags to watch for early so surprises don’t show up at the closing table

Whether you’re newer to the industry or a seasoned Realtor, this session will help you communicate more confidently, anticipate challenges, and position yourself as a trusted expert in every transaction.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I understood this part better,” this session is for you.
