I’m a mortgage broker – here’s the worst secret I discovered in a client meeting & the woman’s husband was NOT happy

MORTGAGE broker Nate Fain was in for an awkward surprise when he sat down with his clients to sign some papers for their home’s closing.

He claimed a secret was revealed during the meeting that did not sit well with the couple.

“This was probably the most awkward moment of my career,” he stated at the beginning of the video he shared online describing the experience.

“This was a newlywed couple buying their first home together.”

He added that while he is not always physically present for house closings because his work carries across six states, he happened to be at what would become a shocking meeting.

“So there’s a form that you’ll probably have to sign whenever you close on a loan that shows your aliases,” he explained.

“For example, I go by Nate but my legal name is Nathan.

“So the wife’s maiden name was on hers, but there was another last name on there as well.”

Fain said the husband did not recognize the last name and asked his wife about it.

He continued: “Her face turned white and her eyes got huge and she very quietly said: ‘That was my name from a previous marriage.’

“Turns out homebody did not know about that marriage.”

He said they immediately got up and left to go discuss the matter privately in the parking lot.

Eventually, they came back in and finished the signing, but did not say a single word to each other.

Fain added that the “tension was unbearable.”

“Normally for local folks, I’ll try to get a celebratory closing picture.

“I decided not to on that one,” he concluded.

Viewers were understandably shocked about how things played out for the couple, and a few wondered how the husband did not know – especially if he signed their marriage license.

In reply, Fain said: “Some of y’all are really overestimating how much men look at marriage licenses.”

In another comment about the matter, he added: “I’ve never looked at my marriage license.

“I couldn’t even tell you what’s on there.

“I’m guessing he did that too.”

Apparently, this situation is not new.

A viewer wrote in the comment section claiming to have been through the same scenario.

“I legit had the SAME thing happen to me [except the] couple walked out and said they weren’t gonna close then came back the next day and ended up closing,” the person wrote.

Yet another person shared a similar story: “I had this happen several years back but the husband completely walked out.. apparently she still frequently talked to the ex husband and he never knew the history!!” they recalled.
