Welcome to a brand-new year of Real Talk With Matt. Today, we break down exactly what buyers, homeowners, and realtors need to know going into 2026. No fluff. No hype. Just the truth about where the market is heading in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas — and how smart professionals are preparing for the months ahead.

We cover what’s happening with home sales, rate trends, inventory shifts, and why the current market is opening real opportunities for people who move decisively. We also talk about how our team is growing with trusted, seasoned MLOs who bring real experience to the table — not guesses, not gimmicks.

Matt closed over 100 loans and $44M in volume in 2025, ranking in the top 4% nationwide. That’s not by accident. It’s by doing things the right way, with discipline, consistency, and a team built on real results.

Whether you're a buyer looking to get ahead, a realtor trying to stay sharp in 2026, or someone who wants straight answers about programs like HomeReady, Home Possible, updated loan limits, and Non-QM options — this episode lays it out plain and simple.
