In this episode of Best Business Partners, Jess and Erin welcome Ed Statton of Stratton Mortgage—a mortgage lender, father of five, Delaware native, and now proud goat (and Highland cow!) farmer.

Ed takes us from the waterfronts of Delaware to Florida farmland, sharing both his family’s lifestyle shift and his passion for helping clients navigate today’s real estate market. He breaks down why 6–7% interest rates are actually healthy, why 5% is the new low, and why 2026 could mark a major market boom.

You’ll hear:

  • Why “date the rate, marry the house” is more than a catchy phrase.
  • Creative mortgage strategies like buy downs and solutions for savvy buyers.
  • Trends Ed sees shaping the mortgage market.
  • His top tip for retirees moving to Florida.

It’s an episode packed with positivity, practical advice, and maybe even a goat story or two. 🐐
