Before You Buy: The Mortgage Conversation

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of The Home Girl Happy Hour Podcast, I’m sitting down with Dorian Weber from Lending Haus, to talk about the side of buying a home that people either avoid, overthink, or completely misunderstand: the mortgage. Dorian is a former Olympian whose cheerful energy makes even mortgage talk feel approachable.We’re breaking down what buyers really need to know before they start shopping, from pre-approvals and interest rates to affordability, loan programs, down payment assistance, and the mistakes that can quietly wreck a deal before closing. We also talk about what to do if buying a home is on your radar in the next 6 to 12 months, what not to do once you’re under contract, and why qualifying for a home does not always mean the payment fits your actual life.This conversation is practical, honest, and way less boring than a mortgage conversation has any right to be. Grab a drink and join us for the mortgage episode every buyer should hear before falling in love with a house.
