Zoom Replay – July 9, 2026

Today, Clark Sexton with Iron Mortgage join me.

Recently we have had some issues with buyers who thought they were pre-approved for a mortgage, but they were not. We started with the following question for Clark.

Can you please explain the difference between a soft and a hard credit pull?

Follow up question, why would a loan officer do a soft pull?

We also discussed what a buyer should and should NOT do from the time they take application to closing.

10 Things To Do & NOT To Do

Then Clark shared a story about a recent client. She wanted a second opinion; Rocket Mortgage quoted her 6.99% with 2 points. Clark was able to do 6.6% with NO points and NO origination fee.

She saved approximately $5,000 upfront.

Plus, when rates come down, she will be able to take advantage of Iron’s Float-Down program. The program allows our clients to pay a flat fee and lower their interest rate without the headache and expense of re-financing their mortgage.

If you have a client that would like to save money at closing, monthly and when rates come down, please feel free to reach out to Clark anytime.

At approximately 37:00 minutes in, I did a quick market report. Specifically, I discussed the difference between the national market and our local market here in Metro Detroit.

If you have any questions or situations you’d like to discuss on a future call, please let me know.

Thanks!

Craig
