Big news from Mike Benton and the Responsive Mortgage team!

Crypto holders, listen up: your Bitcoin or Ethereum might actually help you qualify for a mortgage now. Yep… seriously.

For the first time, crypto is being recognized as a real asset when applying for a home loan (as long as it’s held on a U.S.-regulated exchange).

Before this, your crypto only counted if you sold it and turned it into cash. But now, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are starting to consider it as part of your financial profile — even if you’re just holding.

It’s still new, and we don’t have all the details yet… but this could make homeownership way more accessible for people who’ve been investing in crypto instead of traditional savings.

Stay tuned — I’ll keep you updated as this unfolds! 💥🏡💰

Happy National Boss's Day to 2 amazing people! ❤️

Happy National Boss’s Day to our favorite leaders, Tyler & Kristina! Our team is so blessed to be in business with two individuals who are as amazing as you! This year we set some pretty large goals and we are well on our way to crushing those!

Tyler, thank you for always putting others success above your own and for being so encouraging. We love that when asked, you are always willing to work towards a “Yes”. You are always open to new ideas and help us figure out how to make our goals and dreams reality. You are the person of "manifest it, do it, make it happen". You always push us to think outside the box, to dream bigger, and you open doors so we all have more opportunities to be successful. Not many people have the privilege to work with someone who are friends first, and a boss second.

Kristina, thank you for the support, knowledge and resources you constantly provide us to make us the best we can be at our jobs. You’re a constant reminder that there are no obstacles that we can’t over come. The amount of times a day you hear "Kristina! Help" from people is countless, and you are always there! No matter how busy you are, you always make everyone on the team feel like they are a priority and help solve any problems we encounter. You model resiliency, endurance and professionalism.

This team wouldn't have the magic is has without both of you and we all absolutely LOVE YOU! Thank you for everything you both do for all of us day in and day out. ❤️
Kristina Carlson
