Mortgage rates are near their lowest point of the year — but that’s not the only good news. In this episode of Take 10 from The Mortgage Gallery, Lisa Wiles and Corey Freels break down what Realtors need to know right now:

• How the ongoing government shutdown is impacting rates and USDA loans
• Creative ways to save deals that fall apart after home inspections
• Why renovation financing is a hidden opportunity for agents
• Real-life stories of loans other lenders turned down (and how our team got them closed!)
• The power of our .5% lender-paid rate buydown and 20-year fixed options

If you’re a Realtor looking for fresh ideas to help clients close, even in a tricky market, this is your ten-minute edge.
