Trump Proposes 50-Year Mortgages and Sparks Debate in the Real Estate Industry | Jay Pitts Show Ep. 116

In this episode, we’re covering some of the biggest conversations happening in real estate right now — and a few that agents really need to pay attention to as we close out the year. We kick things off with Donald Trump’s proposal for 50-year mortgages and the heated industry debate it’s sparked. Would longer loans boost affordability… or create bigger problems? We break down both sides.Next, we dive into what rising REALTOR® dues could mean for the future of the industry. Will we see fewer “realtors” and more non-association “real estate agents”? And how might that shift impact consumers?We also talk about the subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs that the agent on the other side of a transaction might be inexperienced — and how to handle those situations professionally without putting your clients at risk.Finally, we wrap with a roadmap for agents looking to finish the year strong: the conversations you need to have, the habits to tighten up, and the moves that set you up for a cleaner, more profitable start to next year.If you’re a real estate pro trying to stay sharp, informed, and ahead of the curve, this is an episode you don’t want to miss. Submit your questions for Jay and Ryan to answer on the podcast here!
