Listen Later

🔑 Ever signed a mountain of paperwork on closing day and thought, “Wait... what am I actually signing?” You're not alone — and this week, we’re breaking it all down in plain English.

Join Angela Dillmon (Keller Williams Realty Chesterfield & owner of The Dillmon Group) and Glen Calvin (lender at Guild Mortgage) as they explain two of the most misunderstood documents in a real estate transaction: the Note and the Deed of Trust.

💡 In this episode:

  • What exactly IS a promissory note?

  • Why you need both a Note and a Deed of Trust

  • What clauses protect the lender—and YOU

  • Hidden details that could cost you (like forced insurance and occupancy clauses)

  • Why you should NEVER skip reviewing these documents ahead of time

Glen shares insider tips from hundreds of closings, including why your loan officer SHOULD be at the table with you, and how to avoid last-minute surprises.
