432. These 3 Gaps Are Holding Back the Next Generation of Homebuyers

Welcome to Loan Officer Leadership, your #1 podcast for Loan Officers who are looking for structure and success.

What if the next generation wants to buy a home—but just doesn’t believe they can?

In this episode, your host, Steve Kyles is joined by Kristen Messerli, co-founder of FirstHomeIQ, a nonprofit on a mission to bridge the financial literacy gap and equip Millennials and Gen Z with the confidence and tools to become homeowners. 

You’ll learn: 

  • The top 3 reasons younger buyers feel stuck—and how to help them take the next step 
  • Why trust and education are the currency of modern marketing 
  • How loan officers can plug into the solution through FirstHomeIQ’s Ambassador Program 
  • Ways to build long-term pipeline by showing up as a local educator—not a salesperson 

If you’re passionate about impact, community, and pipeline growth, this conversation will show you how to turn all three into action.
