What started as a conversation with Drew Fabrikant from Scout about mortgage data enrichment turned into an incredible discussion—and interview—with Raunaq Singh, CEO of Roam, and Drew himself. The topic? How assumable mortgages could be the key to unlocking more deals in today's high-rate market. Buyers are stuck. Sellers feel trapped. The so-called "lock-in effect" has slowed transactions, but what if there was a way to bridge the gap? Assumable mortgages offer a way for buyers to secure rates from the 2-4% era, giving sellers a competitive edge and helping agents stand out. In my latest article for Inman News, I write about the conversation and why assumable mortgages aren't just an alternative—they're an opportunity. I also break down how tools like Roam and Scout are helping agents identify and market these hidden gems. Check it out, my 1st interview style article :) #realestate #mortgage #assumablemortgages #housingmarket #solutionsnotexcuses

Is Email the Answer to Outreach Under the New Rules? The FCC’s new rules kick in on January 27, 2025, and let’s be honest—they’re shaking things up. Spammy calls and texts? Done. Cold calling? Complicated. So, where does that leave us? Time to pivot. Cold calling is looking less effective and riskier, thanks to stricter consent rules and fines that could make anyone sweat. It’s time to move toward something smarter, something scalable, and—bonus—something that people actually engage with: email marketing. Here’s why email is the real MVP: - It’s governed by less restrictive regulations (like the CAN-SPAM Act). - It allows for personalized, data-driven messages that resonate. - It builds trust without being intrusive (no one’s hanging up on an email). The game is changing, but that’s not a bad thing. This is your chance to refine how you connect with leads and build relationships the right way. I broke it all down in the blog—check it out and get ahead of the curve. https://lnkd.in/eg_8N9p7 Drew Fabrikant
