Michael Riddiford on Broker Mishaps: Text Fails, Client Stories & What Lenders Really See
In this episode, Renae is joined by Michael Riddiford, a BDM in the finance industry, for a hilarious and insightful conversation about the miscommunications, misunderstandings, and downright awkward moments that happen in mortgage broking and finance. From autocorrect disasters to clients accidentally sending very personal photos, Renae and Michael share real stories that will make you cringe, laugh, and think twice before hitting send on that next text message.
Michael and Renae delve into the importance of understanding what banks actually look at when assessing loan applications—from your social media profiles to every single transaction on your bank statements. They share eye-opening stories about clients spending thousands at entertainment venues, the dangers of having 18+ bank accounts, and why you should never assume your broker or lender won't Google you. These insights provide a deeper understanding of how every detail of your financial profile matters when applying for a home loan.
In the final part of the episode, the conversation touches on some serious topics including gender dynamics in professional settings, with Renae sharing her experiences being spoken down to when purchasing technology, and Michael discussing assumptions made based on gender in retail settings. Despite the heavier moments, the episode remains entertaining with stories about Klingon-speaking applicants, sock failures at park runs, and why you should always double-check your texts before sending. With practical advice wrapped in humor, this episode offers key takeaways for anyone navigating the finance world.
