We’re excited to introduce a new segment to the Defend Warren podcast focused on helping people understand the mortgage process. Joining us regularly will be Mattie Easton, who brings valuable insight and experience to guide listeners through the home-buying journey.
Mattie grew up in Bristolville with her two sisters and graduated in a close-knit class of just 30 students. As a teen, she loved dancing at local clubs and community spots. She attended Kent State University and later earned her accounting degree from Hiram College.
In this episode, you’ll hear the entertaining story of how Mattie met her husband and learn how she got started in the mortgage industry back in 2004. She emphasizes that qualifying for a mortgage involves more than just having a good credit score.
Mattie shares practical advice on:
- Understanding PMI and down payment requirements
- The basics of conventional loans
- Why being transparent with your lender matters
- How you can get a mortgage with a credit score as low as 580
- Simple tips to build or improve credit
- The difference between a hard and soft credit pull
- What separates being pre-qualified from being pre-approved
- How self-employed individuals can navigate the mortgage process
Most importantly, she outlines the best ways to prepare financially and mentally for buying a home.
