The 360 Experience Barry Habib: Fear, Faith, and the Future of the Mortgage Market
When the market gets tough, most originators feel pressure. But Barry Habib knows what it means to face something far bigger than a tough market — and still show up with strength, clarity, and optimism.
In this episode of The 360 Experience podcast, Barry joins Tim to talk about the mindset that carried him through his recent cancer battle…and how those same principles apply to the way we operate as mortgage professionals today. They also dive into his outlook for rates, inflation, and why he believes 2026 could be a very prosperous year for prepared originators.
Top Takeaways for Loan Officers:
1️⃣ How Barry stayed mentally strong through the darkest moments of his cancer battle — and how that same inner strength applies to your business and your production
2️⃣ Why some loan officers really struggled in 2025 while others quietly built one of the best years of their careers
3️⃣ Barry’s outlook for 2026 — rates, refis, MI opportunities, and the return of movement in the housing market
This episode is a reminder that our work as loan officers isn’t just about production or pipelines, but about how we show up when things get difficult…for our clients, our families, and ourselves.
