Important financing update for manufactured homes 🏡
If you work with manufactured homes, you may have encountered a major financing obstacle: a home that has been moved more than once can be extremely difficult to finance outside of certain loan programs.
There is now another option worth knowing about.
CrossCountry Mortgage has a financing option for eligible manufactured homes that have been moved twice, subject to program requirements, including a satisfactory engineer inspection and loan approval.
For Tucson and Southern Arizona buyers, sellers, and real estate agents, this could make a significant difference when evaluating a property that has been relocated.
Before telling a buyer to pass on a twice moved manufactured home, reach out to The Polder Group. We can review the scenario and help determine what financing options may be available.

Tucson home buyers, here is a real estate opportunity worth knowing about.
Kenneth W Hutson with eXp Realty has a Tucson area property with an assumable mortgage at a 2.75% interest rate.
Here is the example from the video:
🏠 Home price around $400,000
💰 Financing around $320,000
📉 Assumable rate of 2.75%
📈 Comparison rate of 6.75%
Using those assumptions, the principal and interest payment difference could be more than $780 per month.
That is why assumable mortgages deserve attention in a higher rate environment. Qualified buyers may have an opportunity to assume an existing mortgage with a significantly lower interest rate.
Eligibility requirements, lender approval, loan terms, and other conditions apply.
For details on this specific property:

PART 2: We’re hiring our next Loan Officer Apprentice in Tucson! 🌵
In Part 1, we introduced you to Griffin, our latest Loan Officer Apprentice graduate. Now we’re getting into what it was actually like to start in the mortgage industry with zero experience.
Griffin even admits there were terms he did not understand at first. For a couple of weeks, he pretended he knew what a HELOC was before learning that it meant home equity line of credit.
But that is part of learning a new industry.
Griffin says the qualities that helped him most were a willingness to learn, putting his ego aside, and continuing to absorb information even when everything did not make sense yet.
One of the biggest benefits of the apprentice role for him was having guidance available as he learned. Rather than being expected to know everything on day one, he was able to build his knowledge and responsibilities over time.
Now Griffin is graduating, and we are looking for our next Loan Officer Apprentice in Tucson.
His advice to someone thinking about applying?
“Go for it.”

We’re hiring in Tucson! 🌵
Meet Griffin, our latest Loan Officer Apprentice graduate.
When Griffin started, he had zero mortgage experience. In his words, he “didn’t even know what a mortgage was.”
But he knew he wanted to get into real estate and help people get into homes.
A few months into the position, Griffin was sitting in a client meeting listening to one of our loan officers explain mortgage options when he had his “aha” moment. He understood what was being discussed and realized just how much he had learned.
Today, he has a clear understanding of the mortgage industry, has grown tremendously in his role, and even used that knowledge during his own journey to buying his first home.
Now he’s ready to pass the baton.
The Polder Group is looking for our next Loan Officer Apprentice in Tucson.

July Market Recap for Tucson 🌵
The latest numbers give us a good look at what’s happening in the Tucson real estate market.
Closed sales came in at 1,188, down 2% compared with last year.
At the same time, new listings increased 2.7% to 1,716. That means buyers have more homes to choose from as they search across Tucson.
The median sales price came in at $364,900.
For comparison, the national median sales price referenced in this update was $417,700. That puts Tucson more than $50,000 below the national median.
If you’re thinking about buying a home in Tucson, having more choices on the market could make this a good time to explore what’s available and understand your financing options.

🚨 Realtors: the appraisal process is changing, and November 2 is not the day to start preparing.

November 2 is when lenders have to deliver the new appraisal formats, but the transition is already underway. That means Realtors could start seeing the impact well before the deadline.

We created a FREE class explaining what’s changing, what Realtors need to know, and how to prepare.

▶️ Watch the full class here:

We’ll continue bringing educational classes and resources to help Tucson and Southern Arizona real estate professionals stay informed and prepared.

Thank you, Tucson! 💙
I’m incredibly honored to share that I’ve been named a Top 3 Finalist in the 2026 Arizona Daily Star Readers’ Choice Awards.
This one means a lot to me because the Top 3 are determined by community voting.
To every person who took the time to vote for me, thank you. To every client who has trusted me, every real estate partner who has sent someone my way, and every friend, family member, and member of this community who continues to support me, I’m incredibly grateful.
Having the opportunity to serve Tucson and Southern Arizona is something I never take for granted, and receiving this recognition from the community makes it even more meaningful.
The Winner and Favorites will be announced at the awards ceremony. Whatever the final result, I’m proud and grateful just to be among the Top 3.
