Equity Real Estate Academy
Since we're so invested in helping our partners grow, we've established both as a RI & MA Real Estate School.
We hold classes online, it's a great place for real estate agents to come for continuing education, but it's also a way for us to get
to know one another. Classes are taught by Attorney Michael Krone, Senior Vice President and Massachusetts Counsel at
Equity National Title and its Massachusetts affiliate O’Donnell Law Group. Mike has over 35 years of experience in real estate
transactions representing buyers, sellers and lenders and has held a real estate broker license since 1982.
Mike’s vast knowledge and experience of being involved in thousands of real estate transactions allows him to provide real life
experience when discussing legal and practical issues. Mike is a favorite instructor of Realtors in Massachusetts, Rhode Island
and Connecticut. His classes are interesting, fun and never boring. Check back with us often to see what we've got coming up
Residential Mortgage Loan Market & Credit Today: RE25RC08 The mortgage market has seen many changes in the past 10 years but today’s market is different. With the market now almost completely purchase mortgages and with rates climbing you need to know what the process is behind today’s current mortgage underwriting. Adjustable rate mortgages, rate locks, debt to income ratios, Fannie Mae’s new pricing, changes in appraisals, FICO scores and ability to repay rules all factor into the lender’s decision to lend the buyer the money needed to close your transaction. Understanding what these are and their importance in the mortgage market today gives you a solid background to assist your clients and be a truly effective real estate professional. This is one of the most popular classes and for good reason. Location: VIRTUAL |
