The Mortgage Man - A podcast for everyone with or wanting a mortgage

Show Notes

We sometimes forget that the language we use when talking to first-home buyers is not appropriate.

I don't mean we use swear words or shout profanities but more so we use words that you may have never heard of.

Our fault.

But also lawyers, real estate agents, and other pieces of educational material use these same terms.

So in this podcast, we get to be a walking, talking dictionary - with a bit of banter mixed in.

It's important that you know these terms so you are 100% certain when you hear them and avoid any confusion when buying a house (it's kinda a serious thing)
