Welcome to Raising Real Estate Standards...our goal with this page is increasing the overall awareness and increasing the standards that we a real estate agents operate.

There a been an influx of new agents into our market in the past 5-6 years. (Which by itself is not a bad thing) Unfortunately we have not seen a major increase in the number of leaders and mentors that are passionate about maintaining and increasing the standards in which we operate. We feel we are at a critical point in our industry and we want to do everything we can to protect and increase the public’s perception and understanding of the value a real estate agent brings.

This page is also dedicated to helping agents see themselves as a business owners and providing tools, tips and motivation to encourage development of themselves and their skills, which will in turn raise their standards and thus assisting in raising the standards in the real estate industry.

In this episode of Raising Real Estate Standards we sit down with mortgage industry veteran Bradford Thomas of Fairway Mortgage to unpack the current lending landscape and share crucial insights for both real estate professionals and homebuyers. From decoding the recent market shifts to revealing lesser-known mortgage options, Bradford breaks down how jobs reports and federal rate decisions really impact mortgage rates (spoiler: it's not what you think).

Learn why today's 'mini buyer's market' might actually be the perfect time to buy despite higher rates, and discover innovative loan solutions for self-employed and gig economy workers. Brad shares insider tips on streamlining the lending process and reveals why the relationship between agents and lenders is more crucial than ever. Whether you're a real estate professional or potential homebuyer, this episode delivers actionable insights you won't want to miss.
