From decoding the recent market shifts to revealing lesser-known mortgage options, Bradford breaks down how jobs reports and federal rate decisions really impact mortgage rates (spoiler: it's not what you think).

Brad shares insider tips on streamlining the lending process and reveals why the relationship between agents and lenders is more crucial than ever.
