The Real Word: How fear and uncertainty is changing the mortgage industry

Byron Lazine and Nicole White are two agents in Connecticut who give us their thoughts on the week’s news every Friday in “The Real Word,” a weekly video column on Inman.

Watch Byron Lazine and Nicole White give a real estate agent’s perspective on industry-related topics. In today’s reality, the mortgage world is very volatile. Interest rates are fluctuating. Guidelines and standards are tightening. Byron and Nicole discuss the state of the industry — and this week, they’re joined by mortgage lender Brian Faye joins, who weighs in on the issue.

Also on the agenda: the debate over whether or not real estate should be considered an essential business. Plus, the No. 1 thing that should be on your checklist as you spend more time at home.
