When it comes to buying a home, some people are ready, some people are willing, but are they actually able to buy? In this episode of World Series of Real Estate, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Lisa Somerville, our incredibly talented Director of Operations at THA Mortgage. Lisa’s journey from wealth management in Chicago to leading our mortgage division is nothing short of inspiring. We dove into her background, discussed the challenges buyers face in today’s high-interest-rate environment, and explored solutions like down payment assistance and fast-track closings. Lisa also shared her thoughts on the future of the mortgage industry, including how rate changes might unlock opportunities for both buyers and sellers. It’s always a privilege to work with someone as knowledgeable and passionate as Lisa, and I’m thrilled to have her on our executive leadership team. If you’re curious about the mortgage world or looking for expert insights, this episode is a must-listen!
Topics:
- Lisa’s background in wealth management and how it led her to working with THA Mortgage and being on the leadership team for THA brands
- What has surprised Lisa most about the mortgage industry recently and the biggest challenges that are presently facing buyers
- The rate that Lisa believes will be the magic number that brings sellers off the sidelines and into the marketplace to drive up inventory
- Trends that Lisa has seen with financing between existing homes and new construction homes
- How Lisa and her team drives clear to closes that are much faster than the market average and different incentives THA currently offers
- Different ways Lisa and THA Mortgage win business with consumers, even after they’ve been pre-approved through other companies (plus different fees you should watch out for)
- An outlook of the mortgage industry, especially in Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania in 2025
