Скачать или смотреть Episode 29: Open House Red Flags Every Agent Should Know + How Rent Can Boost Mortgage Readiness

In this episode of The Legit Real Estate Podcast, the hosts start with a real open-house scare that reshapes how agents should handle events—then pivot to how newer credit-scoring approaches that factor on-time rent & utilitie payments may help more renters qualify for a mortgage. No fluff, just real-world lessons you can use.

Highlights:

Open-house safety, real story: A rural property, an after-hours “visitor,” and why “just one more look” after the event ends is a hard no.

Why identity verification, boundaries, and not working alone aren’t optional.

Agent protocols that work: Buddy system, shared schedule/location, clear exit/lighting plan, and refusing unscheduled private tours after the open house.

Credit scoring update: How models beyond traditional FICO can consider consistent rent & utility payments, helping “thin-file” borrowers.

Credit card reality check: Interest, fees, and high utilization can sink approvals; simple fixes make a big difference.
