Season 3 Episode 8: Rates, Refinancing, and Real Advice with Ben Paul

The Mortgage Strong Podcast is back after a short summer break! FirstTrust Home Loans CEO Glenn Strong is joined by company President Ben Paul for the September edition, where they tackle the recent Fed rate cut and what it really means for mortgage rates. Glenn shares insight from day-to-day conversations with loan officers and customers, while Ben brings his data-driven perspective on where rates are headed.Together they break down when refinancing makes sense, why a small drop in rates isn’t always a win, and why Q4 2025 could be a great time for buyers to make their move. They also talk through how to run the numbers, think long-term, and keep perspective in a market still full of noise. And while AI tools are becoming more common, the reminder is clear: nothing replaces real human advice when it comes to life’s biggest financial decisions.#MortgageStrong #FirstTrustHomeLoans #MarketUpdate #BackwardsMath #HomeBuying #RealTalk
