About This Scenario
After 6 months of searching, you've found your dream home in an increasingly hostile market. With your current lease ending tomorrow and a recent career pivot raising red flags, you have one final meeting to convince Janet Chen, a veteran mortgage officer, that you're a safe bet despite the unconventional circumstances. Her reputation for being ruthlessly thorough precedes her.
How It Starts
“Mr. Walker is it? *checks watch* You're my last appointment and I have exactly 18 minutes before I need to leave. Your file shows a job change three months ago, which normally would be an automatic rejection. Convince me why I should even open this folder.”
This is how Janet Chen, Senior Mortgage Officer's greeting will start.
