It’s no secret that getting a home loan is NOT what it used to be. No doubt in many ways, that is actually a very good thing, to ensure that homeowners are qualified and in a position to sustain their mortgage payments. But did the pendulum swing the opposite direction after the recession…to the point where trying to get a home loan felt more like a punishment than a hard-earned accomplishment? How far have we come – and what can you expect from home financing today AND tomorrow? To help us answer that question, Real Estate Radio LIVE is pleased to welcome RE/MAX, LLC Chairman & Co-Founder, Dave Liniger. As not only a highly experienced real estate company founder, leader and consumer advocate – Dave has also played a major role in influencing governmental housing policies which helped drive economic recovery. Hear what he has to say about the changes made this year to help make home ownership more attainable, as we reference his article ‘New Mortgage Standards Are Opening Doors Again’.

About Our Expert Guest

Dave Liniger is the visionary leader of the Denver-based global real estate franchise he co-founded with his wife, Gail, in 1973. Dave is well respected internationally for his vast knowledge of the real estate industry and influence on housing policy. At the height of the recession, Dave pushed for governmental housing reform policies that would help speed the housing recovery; many of his recommendations were adopted. He is widely credited with improving conditions for real estate agents by creating a successful business model combining the maximum commission concept with a host of support services. Dave is a major advocate of advanced training and education – and, as a result, RE/MAX agents are the most productive in the industry.

Dave spent much of 2012 recovering from a life-threatening infection that surfaced in late January. After multiple surgeries, weeks in intensive care, and months in the hospital, he returned to RE/MAX World Headquarters in July. He chronicled his ordeal and recovery in an inspirational New York Times Best Seller, “My Next Step: An Extraordinary Journey of Healing and Hope.”
