NAMB's Weekly Success Builder - 2.9.26

Valerie Saunders, Chief of Staff for the National Association of Mortgage Brokers, led a discussion on preparing for an anticipated refinance and purchase boom due to favorable interest rates. She highlighted that rates are at a three-year low, hovering around 6%, and emphasized the importance of capitalizing on the current market conditions before they change. Saunders suggested strategies for originators to activate both purchase and refinance pipelines, including database mining, creating call lists, and leveraging realtor partnerships. She also stressed the urgency of acting quickly, as market conditions may not remain favorable for long.
