The February edition of the Mortgage Strong Podcast is all about the finish line and the team that makes it happen. FirstTrust Home Loans CEO Glenn Strong sits down with the heart of the operation, our Closing Department. You’ll hear from Charity Carroll, Lindsey “Terry”, and Josclynn Allen as they walk through what a real day in closing looks like. From getting wires out the door early, to staying ahead with seven day CDs, to keeping loans moving when timelines shift fast, this episode gives a real look at the work that protects the borrower experience and keeps transactions on track.

They also break down why our hybrid e sign process is such a better experience for borrowers and title partners, how trust and consistency with loan officers and title companies keeps everything smooth, and why teamwork in closing matters even more in 2026.
