Home equity is making headlines again—homeowners tapped into $47 billion in equity in Q1 2026, the highest since 2021. Many are turning to second liens and HELOCs to unlock the value in their homes. As someone who’s guided Northeast Atlanta clients through market cycles since 1985, I’ve seen how the right information and a proactive approach can make all the difference. While lenders face challenges with manual processes, automation is proving to be a game changer, reducing processing time by 77% and improving the borrower experience. For those considering leveraging their home’s equity, it’s more important than ever to work with someone who can help you understand your options and navigate the process with confidence. My approach has always been to protect and inform, so you can make smart, safe decisions about your real estate investments.
