I was joined by David Childers from Keeping Current Matters, as well as fellow Rockstars Simmi Kher from Seattle, Washington, Andy Tse from Silicon Valley, and Alicia Soekawa from Richmond, Virginia.
This episode is jam packed with amazing insight from these three different markets. Make sure to take note of how they all use the latest housing data to work with their clients to move up or make the right decision for their present situation.
I also shared the 3 biggest steps you need to take to finish this year strong and hit the ground running in 2021. David also gave a more clear definition on what a foreclosure crisis is and provided important past and current data.
We also talked about the current reality on forbearance data, mortgage rates, and gave powerful scripts to share this information in a clear and helpful way to your market.
