Los Angeles, CA, August 2025 – Earlier this month, Alex Shekhtman, CEO of LBC Mortgage, was invited to speak at a closed virtual event for a private community of aspiring homebuyers and future real estate investors. The focus: building wealth through homeownership, improving financial literacy, and taking the first steps into U.S. real estate – no matter your background or budget.
The event, held in a small group format, gave attendees a rare opportunity to learn directly from Shekhtman, who shared personal insights, mortgage advice, and practical ways to navigate the housing market in 2025.
“It was a hospitable, thoughtful space,” said Shekhtman. “Sometimes these smaller settings are where the best conversations happen – because people feel safe asking the real questions.”
He spoke openly about the financial tools that many buyers overlook – including down payment assistance, creative loan structures, and how to approach property as a long-term investment rather than just a transaction.
“A home is a foundation,” Shekhtman explained. “When people learn how to use a mortgage to their advantage, they’re not just buying square footage, but starting a new chapter – for themselves, and often for their families too.”
Throughout the session, Shekhtman emphasized the need for more financial education in the real estate space – especially for first-generation buyers and those without industry connections.
“There’s a gap between what people should know and what they’re actually told,” he said. “Our job is to help close that gap, and that’s why we keep showing up at events like this.”
The event included live dialogue, open questions, and actionable tips attendees could apply right away. Shekhtman took time to personally thank the organizers and his own team at LBC Mortgage.
“These things don’t come together overnight,” he said. “I’m grateful to the people who invited me, trusted me, and made it all flow so smoothly. And a big thank you to my team – the prep as well as the follow-up, and everything in between. It takes a village, and I’m lucky to work with some of the best.”
Looking Ahead: Education First
LBC Mortgage has long made financial education part of its mission – through community events, online guides, and personalized support for homebuyers across all stages of the journey.
“Our job isn’t just to close loans,” said Shekhtman. “We want to teach people how to move forward with confidence. Whether they buy now or later – they should always leave smarter than they came in.”
