Stop Waiting for Lower Mortgage Rates
Ice hockey rink to Los Angeles real estate: Maxim Sidelnik joins Forward One hosts Paul Mark Morris and Josh Spitzen to share how 12 years of competitive hockey built an agent now closing about 1.5 deals a month. Maxim explains why you still need a buyer’s agent even when you found the house on Zillow yourself, plus how to win repair negotiations, price a listing the right way, and get your offer accepted in a multiple-offer battle. When mortgage rates drop, he shows what that really means for your monthly payment, and why waiting on the sidelines can cost you more than the rate does.
