Credit Myths That Kill Closings (and How to Stop Them)

Credit Myths That Kill Closings (and How to Stop Them)

Overview

Turn “I’m working on my credit” into “I’m ready to buy.” Bust myths, protect closings, and guide buyers with confidence.

Credit misunderstandings quietly kill more real estate deals than rising rates or low inventory ever could.
Many buyers want to purchase—but end up stuck in credit paralysis, trying to “fix things” on their own or relying on misleading Credit Karma scores and "quick-fix" simulators offered by well-meaning but ill-equipped lenders.

This Realtor-exclusive workshop will help you separate credit fact from fiction so you can confidently guide clients, protect your transactions, and keep momentum moving forward.

Join John Lanzone with Fairway Home Mortgage and Juan Bergas with UQUAL as they uncover the top myths about credit, explain what really impacts approvals, and show you how to re-engage buyers who’ve put themselves on hold.

You’ll walk away with:

  • Practical scripts to use when clients mention credit concerns
  • A clear understanding of how credit behavior affects offers and timelines
  • Guidance on when to connect clients with trusted credit professionals
  • Tools to turn hesitant buyers into confident, home-ready clients

Lunch is provided, along with networking time and Q&A after the session.


Seating is limited to 20 agents. Please RSVP early to reserve your spot.
