This is not a loan approval or commitment to lend. Final eligibility depends on full application, credit, income, assets, property, occupancy, lien position, and underwriting review.
Monday and Tuesday: listen, then compare
Reconnect with a small group of clients who welcome contact. Ask what has changed. For one interested client, prepare a payment or rental comparison using their current goals rather than a generic market pitch.
Wednesday and Thursday: prepare and educate
Bring one unresolved scenario to your lender: an offer with credits, a move-up purchase, or a rental with thin cash flow. Ask for the next question to resolve, not a promise to approve.
Share one relevant educational resource with permission. Add a sentence about why it matters to that client. Follow brokerage, advertising, fair-housing, and outreach requirements.
Friday: close the loop
Record agreed next steps in your own approved system. Thank clients who replied, honor those who want to pause, and identify one lesson to carry into next week.
Put it into practice

Professional-development resources, not accredited continuing education, legal advice, or a promise of transactions.
Frequently asked questions
Can Broadview help me apply this to a real situation?
Yes. Request an advisor conversation to discuss your goals and the assumptions you want to verify. Tools and educational materials are not loan offers or guarantees of financing or results.

Price is only one part of an offer. A seller credit may address a buyer’s upfront cash needs, while a price reduction changes the purchase economics. Compare both before choosing a strategy.
