In this installment of the Real Estate Talk Podcast, Joshua Britt and Robert Keilman sit down with Edward Asher, the Corporate Treasurer of Better.Com. Edward talks about how trends effecting the mortgage industry, particularly high interest rates, housing affordability, and the inventory of homes currently on the market.
(NOTE) This podcast was recorded in September, so some references related to the Federal Reserve's intent to lower interest rates in September has long expired. We are getting caught up on episodes so there is a delay.
Also in the podcast, Edward talks about how Better.com uses technology to streamline the mortgage process; including their 1 Day Mortgage product for example. It's a mortgage lender that's "self-service" with average closing time around 3 weeks.
Edward also talks about his beginnings; hailing from Mexico and his journey into the mortgage industry, and shares his experience for up and coming professionals in finance. It's an episode you don't want to miss!

About the hosts:
Joshua Britt and Robert Keilman are licensed real estate agents and flipper investors in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Also called the Tidewater area of Virginia or Coastal Virginia; this area comprises of Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News, Hampton, Yorktown, Williamsburg, Poquoson, Isle of Wight, and other surrounding areas.
We are retired Navy veterans; Josh retiring as a Senior Chief Petty Officer and Robert as a Chief Petty Officer after 20 years of service. We proudly support our fellow veterans, active duty and reservice service members and their families.
After the Navy, we both went into real estate full time and never looked back. Real estate is our passion; and we love helping people achieve their goals in buying a home or selling a home. As investors, nothing feels more satisfying than acquiring a property that suffered years of neglect; and with a little capital, and some project management skills, transform an eyesore of a neighborhood into the envy! And, of course because of the profit margins!
