**A podcast for REALTORS® on the go:** In* Your AREA* was introduced in August 2018, offering a monthly, bite-sized episode, all about things REALTORS® want to know.

**More about this month's episode:** In this episode, we welcome [Ellyn Mendham of RE/MAX Realty Professionals](http://calgaryrealestatesolutions.com/). Joining her is [AREA's new Provincial Practice Advisor, Bryan Statt](https://www.albertarealtor.ca/page/practice-advice). They discuss why a holdback is preferred, digging into the details of how much to hold back, as well as review the wording of terms and concerns around fraudulent activity. The duo chats about the current views of mortgage lenders regarding holdbacks and consider a lawyer's ability to enforce them.

We hope you enjoy!
