Podcast #23: John Coleman - Ireland's Mortgage Champion

5/17/2020

0 Comments

 
In this podcast, I chat with John Coleman, who’s a mortgage lender in Dublin, Ireland. Although John is always humble and self-deprecating, I joke around by calling him "The Mortgage Champion" because I've witnessed how much he does to help his clients.

In fact, the real estate and mortgage system in Ireland is far different than  here in the United States, and a good mortgage lender wears a whole lot of hats. 

The process of getting qualified for a mortgage, finding a home, and getting approved takes a whole lot longer, so buyers almost need to be groomed over months before they're ready.

​(You'll be blown away by how incredibly stringent Ireland's credit standards are.)

Through the course of this enlightening 50-minute conversation with John, we explore these questions:

  • What's the real estate market like in Ireland?
  • How is Covid-19 affecting the market and economy?
  • How many people own a home in Ireland, and how has homeownership changed over time?
  • Why does Ireland have so many great business opportunities with notable international companies setting up shop there?
  • What are interest rates/down payments/qualifying standards like for Irish buyers?
  • There's also a significant contingent of foreigners who live in Ireland. In fact, 10% of the population is made of expats or foreigners who live there! ​
  • In fact, a lot of Americans head over to Ireland to work and live, enjoying the charm and slower pace of life. What do they find when trying to buy a home?

Tune to this podcast with John Coleman  - the Mortgage Champion of Ireland!

Podcast #22: Heart & Hustle w/ Cam Villa and Rene Jacques of Golden Bay Mortgage

5/11/2020

Today, I had the pleasure of chatting with Cam Villa and Rene Jacques of the Golden Bay Mortgage Group in Sacramento, California.
 
I actually heard of Cam and Rene and the great work they do long before I first was introduced to them, as Realtors, consumers, and others in the mortgage community raved about their innovative approach.
 
Their reputation may precede them, but they also exceeded my expectations when it comes to being at the top of their game. They may attack their day with an athlete’s mentality, but their expertise in the mortgage field and use of systems and efficiency would be the envy of any modern, tech-central firm.
 
Over our nearly-hour-long conversation, I found out a lot about Cam, Rene, and Golden Bay Mortgage, but mostly how they displayed HEART and HUSTLE day-in and day-out to benefit their clients. 
 
Genuine, dedicated, balanced, and forthright, the best way I can characterize Cam and Rene is that I’d trust them with my own mother’s refinance!
 
To hear their story and get to know Rene and Cam of Golden Bay Mortgage, give this podcast a listen, a like, and thanks for sharing!
