What can real estate and mortgage professionals control in a market defined by uncertainty? More than they may think.
In WFG’s Q3 2026 Industry Perspective, WFG Founder and Chairman Patrick F. Stone and economist Dr. Bill Conerly join host Ken Perry of The Knowledge Coop for a candid conversation about the forces shaping the economy, housing, mortgage lending, title, and commercial real estate.
They explore:

• What is keeping mortgage rates elevated, and what could bring them down
• Why housing conditions vary significantly by market and price range
• How real estate professionals can compete through expertise, collaboration, and efficiency
• Where commercial real estate is gaining momentum
• How AI is transforming productivity, customer experience, and fraud risk
Pat’s advice for navigating today’s environment is clear: “Know what you control. Focus on what you control.”
