Today, we're going to discuss the economy, focusing on unemployment and the actions of the Federal Reserve. The unemployment rate is currently at historical lows, with approximately 10 million job openings. However, it seems that the Federal Reserve is determined to increase unemployment, although doing so risks crashing the economy. Bo discusses one of the reasons behind this approach is the belief that in a tight labor market, higher wages will lead to increased prices of goods and services. By driving unemployment higher, wages can be kept lower, preventing a rise in prices. While this may seem counterintuitive, the goal is to maintain stability and prevent excessive inflation. The main challenge lies in the inconsistency of the Federal Reserve's messaging and actions. They have claimed to be data-dependent but recently announced a plan for raising interest rates, which makes it difficult to predict future economic conditions. This lack of clarity creates confusion among lenders, realtors, and the general public regarding the impact of rate changes on various aspects of the economy, including housing.It's important to note that predicting the future course of the economy is challenging, even for experts. The range of predictions from economists varies widely, further highlighting the uncertainties involved.  Additionally, there have been predictions of an impending recession, rising unemployment rates, and plummeting earnings, which have not materialized. This inconsistency between predictions and actual outcomes adds to the complexity of understanding the current economic situation. So, tune in today as Marjorie Adam, owner of the Marjorie Adam Team is joined by Bo Blankenship, founder and partner of Focus One Integrated Financial Planning,  as they discuss the overall, the current economic landscape and how it is characterized by a mix of low unemployment, inflation concerns, inconsistent messaging, and uncertainties about the future.      

The real estate market this year has not followed some of the initial predictions. Many experts anticipated that interest rates would be lower by now, assuming that inflation would ease and the economy would slow down due to aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. However, the reality is that interest rates remain relatively high, creating a challenging environment.  So, tune in today as Marjorie Adam, owner of the Marjorie Adam Team is joined by Bobby Nicely of Alcova Mortgage as they delve into the some details on the markets inventory levels, the significant headwinds. Remembering how important it is to remember that real estate conditions can vary widely depending on the location, so it's advisable to consult trusted sources like industry reports, real estate websites, or local professionals for the most up-to-date and region-specific information.

So today they are gonna talk about the lender-realtor relationship. So the struggle that realtors and lenders have is the relationship between them, understanding why they need each other and how to work together. The ongoing relationship is a struggle and it's because most people don't do it right, a lot of times there is no acknowledgment or understanding with realtors and lenders of the symbiotic relationship they have to have. “Your success equals my success and vice versa”. And then if they care about a client experience, which is paramount because getting them through the lending process can be miserable, it will work seamlessly. And if the realtor and lender don't work well together, they can't have that amazing experience in the end.  If the realtor has a seamless, amazing, blow it outta the water experience, but the lending process is awful and they don't get the service or they don't have their questions answered then it just doesn't work. So they will give some tactics to having that relationship every realtor wants to have with their lender at whatever level they want. You won't want to miss this episode!
