In this powerful episode, Mike Baltazar shares two real-world stories that bring the RESA vision to life—highlighting how strategy-driven professionals are closing deals that others deemed “impossible.”

You’ll hear how a first-time homebuyer, denied by traditional lenders, was able to close on her first home thanks to a RESA-certified professional who brought in the right program. You’ll also discover how a seasoned investor nearly walked away from a deal—until a RESA-aligned advisor unlocked better financing and a smarter structure.

These aren’t just feel-good wins. They’re proof that the traditional real estate and lending model is falling short—while RESA-certified professionals are stepping in to lead with value, options, and true advocacy.

Whether you’re a real estate agent, loan officer, team leader, or a consumer wanting more than one-size-fits-all advice, this episode will inspire you to explore what’s truly possible when strategy comes first.
