Description

Helping union members buy their homes and help them through the home buying process is something we enjoy doing. As a former, and sometimes still active members ourselves, we understand that sometimes it's easier to have to explain less to your lender.

Summary

In this episode of the Mortgage Fundamentals Podcast, host Daniel Mosqueda talks to real estate agents and union members Julie Nagai and Payton Frei about the process of purchasing a home for union members. They discuss the challenges and benefits of working with union members, the importance of budgeting and saving, and the current state of the housing market. They emphasize the need for union members to educate themselves and seek guidance from professionals like themselves to navigate the home buying process.

Takeaways

Union members face unique challenges when it comes to purchasing a home, but with the right guidance and education, it can be a smooth process.

Budgeting and saving are crucial for union members to prepare for homeownership, especially considering the fluctuating nature of their income.

The housing market is currently experiencing low inventory and high demand, leading to increased home prices and multiple offers on properties.

It is important for union members to separate fact from misconception and seek advice from professionals who understand their specific circumstances.

Working with real estate agents who are also union members can provide additional benefits, such as flexible scheduling and connections within the industry.
