The Big Picture - Featuring Kelley Hailstone

Today on The Big Picture with Rich & Rob:

We kicked things off with a light topic: Mat Ishbia’s no-good, very bad month. Then things got serious — Trump vs. Jerome Powell (Spoiler: nobody blinked), and a look at who’s merging with who in mortgage these days... because it’s cheaper than therapy.

Special guest Kelley Hailstone, CEO of Jet HomeLoans, joined us to break down the builder-lender battlefield, why margin matters, and how to stay competitive without selling your soul (or your buydown budget).

We wrapped with some bold speculation on what a second Trump term could mean for housing, rate pressure, and possibly... Powell’s blood pressure.

Catch the replay if you missed it — we won’t steer you wrong.
