Your Home, Your Sanctuary: Mortgage Tips from Mark Fleischmann

by | Nov 28, 2025 | Business News

I’m Mark Fleischmann and for the last 25 years I’ve worked in every facet of the mortgage industry including direct lending, correspondent, and wholesale lending. Aside from being the CFO of Stress Free Mortgage, I currently run a consulting and bookkeeping company.
When it comes to buying your primary residence, here are a few things I wish borrowers knew or would consider:

Who you work with matters:
Choosing the right lender isn’t just about the rate, it’s 100% about trust, communication, and knowledge. If you care about those things and friendly knowledgeable people Stress Free has been helping borrowers for over 26 years and has closed over 3,500 loans. We take the Stress Free part seriously!

Your home is not an investment:
It’s your sanctuary, so buy something that gives you peace, joy, and functionality.

The rate is never as important as the payment:
It’s about getting a payment that doesn’t keep you up at night. For some reason people feel the need to compete or brag about their interest rate and since no loans are identical, I will never understand this.

Using the correct realtor is the difference in finding the right home:
For those of you who like the NFL, think of your realtor as your quarterback. Why use Joe Flacco if you can use the Patrick Mahomes of realtors?
So if you are looking to purchase or refinance, please reach out to us for a chat!
