The Broker's Lounge

Welcome to The Broker’s Lounge with Eddie & Carlo - the podcast where we make the world of mortgages and finance feel a whole lot less intimidating. 

If you’re here, chances are you’re thinking about buying a home, maybe your first, or maybe you’ve been down this road before. Either way, you’re in the right place.

So, who are we? We’re Eddie and Carlo, two senior mortgage brokers from Link Wealth Finance with over 30 years combined experience helping people just like you navigate the sometimes confusing, often overwhelming, but ultimately rewarding journey of buying a home. 

We’ve seen it all - the highs, the lows, the "I didn’t know that" moments - and we’re here to share what we’ve learned.

So, whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your financial game plan, The Broker’s Lounge is here to help you make informed decisions with confidence.

Tune in, get comfortable and let’s talk about how we can help you turn that dream home into a reality.
