How The New Fed Chair Could Change Your Mortgage Rate
Kevin Warsh is the new Fed chair, and real estate buyers (and sellers) want to know what that means for mortgage rates. In his first Fed Meeting this week, rates held, with 9 governors indicating a potential increase this year. Sonoma Wealth Marketing Director Dan Weir and Advisor Clay Dunkle sit down with Linda Zaiss, VP of Mortgage Lending at Rate in Napa with 26 years at the closing table for a deep dive on interest rate scenarios: <br />• How the bond market, not just the Fed, drives what you pay on your home loan. <br />• The tricky pickle that the Fed currently finds itself in between rates and inflation. <br />• The counterintuitive reason high interest rates can actually help buyers. <br />Whether you're buying, refinancing, or just watching the numbers, you'll get our take on rates in the latest episode of It's All Money. <br /> <br />Learn more about Linda Zaiss, VP of Mortgage Lending at Rate in Napa: <a href="https://www.rate.com/loan-officers/linda-zaiss-8991" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.rate.com/loan-officers/linda-zaiss-8991</a> <br />https://www.instagram.com/lindazaiss/ <br /> <br />Book your Wealth Analysis right here: <a href="https://sonomawealthadvisors.com/book-your-wealth-analysis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://sonomawealthadvisors.com/book-your-wealth-analysis</a> <br /> <br />References: https://www.npr.org/2026/06/17/nx-s1-5860084/fed-chief-warsh-first-fomc-meeting <br />_______________________________________ <br />Disclosure: Fermata Advisors LLC is registered as an investment advisor with the SEC and only transacts business in states where it is properly registered or is excluded or exempted from registration requirements.

Trump Accounts vs 529 vs Custodial Roth: Which Wins for Your Grandkids
Last summer Congress created a brand new savings vehicle for minors called the “Trump Account” or 530A account. For families building generational wealth, the rules might not be what you'd expect. In the latest episode of our podcast It’s All Money, we're stacking it head-to-head against 529 accounts and the Custodial Roths to show you which one could win for your grandkids, your estate plan, and your tax bill. Marketing Director Dano Weir and Managing Principal Daren Blonski examine: <br /><ul><li>The functional steps needed for your grandkids to potentially receive a one-time investment $1000 from the fed or $250 from the Dell Family. </li></ul><br /><ul><li>Why gift tax, Roth conversions and state tax could cause headaches for high-net worth families with Trump Accounts. </li></ul><br /><ul><li>The overall benefits of teaching investing to kids at an early age and potential downstream upside for their future in retirement. </li></ul><br />As with all our podcasts, we approach these real-life finance topics (that can cross in to politics) with practicality. We assess the financial aspects and share our perspective on how they may or may not fit in a client’s life.
