Anna Courtade- Mortgage Loan Originator

03/25/2026

I was listening to a podcast the other day talking about how the mortgage industry is basically the wild Wild West right now with limited regulation due to the state of our current administration as well as limited oversight and regulation and it has been an ongoing conversation and concern for, well, since I started in the industry.

As a licensed loan officer and someone who is an independent MLO who had to take the 40 hour class to get my license and learn all of the legalities; I’ve taken it fairly seriously despite the fact that it’s been fairly irrelevant in everyday practice since the ink dried on my license.

But one of my very first mentors in business, not in this business, but in the business world once taught me that “if it’s not enough money to buy your own country so develop non extradition laws; it’s not enough money to break the law for”- Mama Flo. And I have strived to function with that level of integrity my entire professional career.

As we see these lawsuits such as Zillow and Rocket start to pop up, and I’m sure I am not the only one to have received some tempting recruitment phone calls; I want to urge my colleagues to maintain their integrity and morality. There is no paycheck that is worth more than the people that we serve. Do better. Be better.

To the consumers and the people in the community, anyone who owns or is considering buying a home at any point in the future: expect more from your real estate professionals. Please use a professional. Make no mistake: I do firmly believe in the value of using a licensed Realtor in your transaction. It is their job to know what you don’t even realize you don’t know you don’t know. And this is not a post bashing my colleagues. (It’s a rant bashing the unethical members of my profession🤪.)

But I am saying, ask more from your professionals and take the time to educate yourself on your rights. We have super computers that we carry in our pockets. Use them.

This is what it takes for Northern Michigan to call a snow day the night before🤣😂

TCAPS AND Sutton’s Bay and Northwest Ed are closed tomorrow as well as most other Northern Michigan schools! Check your local listings and hit the snooze!

We could see our grass a few days ago!!! I’m going also post to my story because I low key LOVE the sound of a classic Michigan blizzard. But the song TikTok picked was too funny not to leave it on here

🤣😂

Thank you so much to all of the new viewers, and all of the new followers across all platforms!
Since joining TikTok my business has exploded and that's without followers and without going "viral." Before this year I would have frankly thought TikTok was overrated but the community is so cool and I love it!
My need to get out there and educate consumers in the market and the ability to just come on here and talk about my industry and be able to reach people about the myths of home ownership and to be able to feel like I'm making a difference in people lives is awesome.
If this account can help just one more family to achieve home ownership this year then I've done my job.
It's closer than you think! Don't let a lack of information stop you from achieving your goals!

I’ve recently been given this great opportunity to try Solitude Float & Wellness Spa in Traverse City Mi and I am obsessed!

And I don’t use that word lightly😂

If you’ve talked to me in the last two weeks, you’ve probably heard about my experience floating already, but to make things “Facebook official”…..

To best describe the experience of floating; it’s the epitome of self care, the closest you’ll come to re-experiencing being in the womb and the ultimate zen gift to yourself you can give. Sensory wise it can be quite different at first and you truly need to go at least twice to fully appreciate it ESPECIALLY if you are neurospicy!

My first float I couldn’t get out of my head. My anxiety had me thinking they forgot me in there, or that the time had to have lapsed already, and then I started ping pinging around the pod. But when I finally gave myself permission to relax—Holy cow! It was elevating!! A level of mindnumbing clarity I had never had before.

Kind of like a “oh, is this why people meditate?” Kind of moment.

This is not what I wanted to say with this video at all, but my original post disappeared into the ether when I posted it. But I am so grateful for the opportunity to try floating and the Kyoto massage chairs and if you haven’t gotten the opportunity to do so yourself; I highly recommend heading into town and making an appointment! (Remember—two is the key!!)
