In this episode, host Robbie English interviews Kelly Decker, a top producing sales manager at First United Bank and an expert mortgage originator. They dive into the concept of rate buy downs, a strategy that can help overcome buyer reluctance by temporarily reducing monthly mortgage payments. They explore who can benefit from this strategy and how it's calculated, with a focus on the popular '2 1' buy down. Decker provides valuable advice for agents on when to suggest this tool, the limitations, and how to navigate potential risks. This is a must-watch for anyone involved in real estate transactions looking to offer unique solutions to their clients.

Providing You With The Tools To Be Successful Through Education

Texas Real Estate Education and our instructors work hard to provide broadcast class environments where real state professionals can learn how to better perform in the real estate industry, better represent their clients, and learn material that actually benefits their business and clients.  Nobody likes the feeling of “CE Jail” (you know those classes that feel like a waste of time just to get the credit). We recognize that continuing education is not one's favorite way to spend their time.  However, we do our best to engage all of the students in each class to participate and hopefully learn something new thing in each class.
