Back to EpisodesPre-Approved Isn't the Same as Ready: A Dad's Story
Description
This episode is different. Alex Parmenidez starts not as a REALTOR®, but as a dad. His daughter and her fiancé — newly graduated, newly engaged, both working — got pre-approved for a mortgage and spent two months touring homes with him. Then she called with a decision that made him prouder than any closing: "I think I'd rather wait." A story about the difference between qualifying for a mortgage and being ready for one, why the payment that fits on paper can quietly take up all the room in a life, and why buying AND waiting can both be the right answer.
