Hello. My name is Erik Martin and I am a reporter for a nationally syndicated real estate section published weekly in newspapers across the country (see current examples at gmnews.com/?s=%22by+erik+j.+martin%22). I’m looking to interview realtors/agents, mortgage/lending professionals, and other housing experts for the following articles: HOW BREXIT MAY MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOU TO BUY A HOME: Britain's decision to leave the European Union could keep U.S. mortgage rates low or even drive them down lower due to uncertainty in global financial markets. This article would examine the possibilities and ramifications of how Brexit may affect the American housing market, and your prospects for getting a more affordable mortgage, going forward. Below is a list of questions I’m seeking answers to. I can either conduct a phone or email interview (with the latter, please email me back full-sentence written responses that I can use as quotes). My deadline is 9 a.m. central time, Friday, July 8.
QUESTIONS:1. How can Brexit possibly help maintain low U.S. mortgage interest rates or drive them even lower? What factors are at work here?2. Why is Brexit possibly good news overall for home buyers and sellers going forward?3. What is your prediction: Will the Brexit decision, in fact, keep American mortgage rates low or drive them lower—if so, how low? When/over what time period? Any other housing ramifications from Brexit you want to predict?4. Should prospective borrowers wait longer to lock in a mortgage rate in the hopes that Brexit will drive them lower, or is this a bad strategy that can get them burned? Why/why not? What do you recommend?5. What other forthcoming world events in 2016 and beyond can possibly drive mortgage rates higher or lower that people need to be aware of?6. Any other thoughts, tips or suggestions on this topic?7. What is your full name, title, company, city/state location, and email address?
