Every Loan Has a Story

from Grit & Gravitas Hosted by Deeter Gallaher Group

In this episode of Grit & Gravitas, Anne & Anne sit down with Leanne Via, Senior Loan Originator with Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation, to talk about the human side of mortgages and why lending decisions shape far more than finances. Leanne shares her unexpected path into the mortgage industry, how helping her own mother led to a 23-year career, and why every loan carries a family story. We discuss today’s housing realities, from rising interest rates and limited inventory to the increasing age of first-time homebuyers, and why “not now” does not have to mean “never.” This conversation offers business vitamins for every season. Whether you are thinking about buying a home, building long-term wealth, navigating financial decisions, or exploring a new career path, there is something here for you. From owning versus renting to the power of trusted guidance and community, this episode is a reminder that the most important decisions are also deeply personal. Because for Leanne, this work is simple. She gets to change lives every single day.
