Deposit That

One of the reasons there’s poor management in the mortgage sector is the lack of education. People end up in managing positions, without really understanding the full landscape, and that affects how the entire industry develops and influences the lives of so many people.

It’s time for some change, don’t you agree?

Ralph intends to disrupt the way you think about the mortgage industry, the way you see the business, and the way you do business. He encourages people to think outside the box, take some shots, and try different things.

In today’s episode, I am joined by my friend, Ralph, who is living proof that you can form friendships in business and business in friendships. We take the pulse of the mortgage industry today, stressing the need for more education – both for buyers and sellers - and we dive into predictions for the foreseeable future.
