Thinking about buying or selling a house?

Please listen to the show with Gene Mundt and start asking questions about the process so you can navigate all the cow pies that will come up during the process.

Sellers NEED to know the loan process because it will help when they get feedback from agents and the response has to do with financing, inspections or appraisals. 

Buyers need to know about this as the journey will be much easier when they know what to expect along the way.

Our first 2012 agent interview was with Rich Cederberg from Albuquerque, New Mexico.  You can listen to the archive of the interview and hear some of the questions asked about the Albuquerque market. 

Each area will have unique market traits so knowing the questions to ask to make a confident decision is an important part of the process of buying or selling a home.

Jane ~  Gene really does know his stuff!  I hope you can join us and give him a hard time :)  We did a video almost 2 years ago about the loan process and we are going to update with current information... I think it is important for sellers to know what is going on in the mortgage industry so they understand why they get some of the agent feed back  about qualifying issues,, appraisals and inspections.
