Tea & Mortgage w/ John Coleman, Ireland’s favourite mortgage broker would like to sit down with you to share a cup of tea and chat about the state of the mortgage and property market.

In this episode, John Coleman talks about most common mortgage and home buying mistakes.

After 20+ years in business helping people obtain a mortgage and buy homes, John Coleman has a whole lot of experience and has helped countless thousands of people along the way.

So, in this podcast, he will share the most common mistakes that he sees people making, whether they are just starting their mortgage journey planning to buy a house in the future or they're in the middle of looking at properties and negotiating.

These all-too-common pitfalls can cost them money, cost them stress, heartbreak if they lose the house that they love, and certainly cost them a lot of time.

Some of these common mistakes include what's going in and coming out of bank accounts, the timing of contacting a mortgage broker and the home buying process, and even negotiating tactics where they're essentially negotiating against themselves for the home they want.

To top it off, John and co-host norm Schriever talk about John's love of the sport squash, how he picked it up later in life, and how now he's an avid squash player now, which allows him to get out of the house and get away from the desk, keeping him sane and healthy!

In this podcast, mortgage broker John Coleman and co-host Norm Schriever talk about the state of Artificial Intelligence in the mortgage business in 2024, following up on their AI-in-mortgage episode a year earlier.

John and Norm talk about advancements, putting the use of AI in perspective, and how it’s a valuable tool – but not at all an omniscient solution that is replacing human interaction.

In fact, AI done properly just smooths out inefficiencies and delays, allowing more time to spend 1-on-1 with clients for better customer service and the human touch.

John also reveals the HUGE artificial intelligence platform that he’s worked on for more than a year, allowing a seamless, lightning-fast paperwork flow for his clients, ultimately giving then a competitive advantage.

As always, thanks for listening, subscribing, and joining us for this 22nd episode of Tea & Mortgage podcast!

In our 20th episode of the humble little Tea & Mortgage podcast, we have a special guest joining us: John Foley of LifeSize Plans.

John walks us through the amazing and unique services his firm, LifeSize Plans, provides.

From their website:

Bring your plans and future project to a real life-size experience before you put $1 on construction.

With the use of state of the art integrated projection technology we are able to show your complete project – including upper and lower floors, external landscaped areas, common areas, renders, and more at a ‘true’ 1:1 scale.

You can park your vehicles in the projected carpark and walk around your whole property before taking the next steps into VR/AR/XR. Your whole family, design team, and stakeholders can experience this all at the same time.

We incorporate the use of real furniture and props, as well as partition walls and decorations, to give you the best chance possible of perfecting your design.

We encourage you to push the props around the floor and place them in your rooms, hallways and shared areas, so you can get a true feel of your layout and size.

You may then find that you need more space or that your space is not used to its full potential. You may then also realise that you are overbuilding and can reduce the size of your project, saving yourself thousands of dollars per square meter; but for this to happen you have to walk through the projected design with furniture and measuring tapes and see for yourself – only at Lifesize Plans!

Tea & Mortgage w/ John Coleman, Ireland’s favourite mortgage broker would like to sit down with you to share a cup of tea and chat about the state of the mortgage and property market.

In this episode, Irish mortgage broker John Coleman and co-host Norm Schriever talk about the recent decision by the European Central Bank to cut interest rates by a quarter point.

For those who aren’t aware, the European Central Bank cut its key interest rate to 3.75 percent from 4 percent on June 6, the first time it has cut rates since 2019.

The E.C.B. started raising interest rates in July 2022, a few months after the Fed, ending its era of negative rates. The increase, half a percentage point, was the first of 10 straight for the European bank, taking rates to the highest level in the bank's history.

So, today in this episode John talks about the ramifications in the Ireland mortgage market, what affect it may have on home prices and demand, and the possibility and timing of more rate cuts in 2024 and 2025.

Thanks for watch, listening, and sharing the Tea and Mortgage podcast and please contact John Coleman if you have any questions or need help at all!

In this Tea & Mortgage podcast episode #17, host John Coleman and co-host have the pleasure of welcoming on a special guest, Suya Sausmikat!

Making her second appearance on the podcast, Suya, talks about the Brazilian community here in Ireland. Of course, Suya is native to Brazil and only came to Ireland about nine years ago. Like many Brazilians, she came just to learn English and get better opportunities, and eventually joined the mortgage industry along with John at JC Mortgages.

Now, she’s one of the preeminent ambassadors and influencers among the Brazilian community in Ireland when it comes to buying a home and the crucial step of obtaining a mortgage.

Recently, Suya was even included in an official report published by the Brazilian embassy here in Dublin that outlines the stats, facts, and demographics around the Brazilian community in Ireland, including housing metrics and trends. The report even directly quoted Suya and made a cool graphic out of it!

So, in this podcast, we talk about a few of the items in that report, the Brazilian community in general in Ireland, how Suya loves helping people from her home country who want to buy a property, and if we should rename this podcast, “Churrasco & Mortgage!”

🎙 Enjoy this podcast episode with the always pleasant and informative Suya Sausmikat, and feel free to get in touch or start your mortgage journey in Portuguese at the links below!
