Episode 44

On this podcast episode of The Mortgage Loan Officer, we do sort of a follow-up interview with Kyron Stokes. 

If you have time before this, go listen to the Loan Officer Freedom Podcast episode #266. On that podcast we learn how this very new loan officer is doing better than many seasoned pros by following a simple plan. 

On this episode that is a follow-up to that, we take a deeper dive into some of the points previously discussed that we felt could be explored further. Both of these episodes mentioned are excellent for both new loan officers trying to get started and seasoned loan officers who feel they need to re-evaluate what they’re doing.

Attention NEW LO’s – Why you Must be Self-Sourced

September 22, 2022

Episode 38

Welcome to The Mortgage Loan Officer Podcast. This episode is primarily focused on newer loan officers. As a 35+ year vet in the mortgage industry, some of the things Frank is seeing, has prompted this conversation. If you’re new to the mortgage business, it’s critical to start on the right path. That would be the path to becoming “self-sourced”. There are huge benefits to being a self-sourced LO. 

Frank starts off by explaining exactly what self-sourced means as a loan originator. If you don’t know what self-sourced means, press play now and get ready to understand why it’s so very important and how valuable you become to companies. 

To truly define yourself as a loan originator, you must originate loans…shake the tree…get the fruit. 

So, where do you get the deals to become self-sourced? Funny you should ask – Frank goes over all that in this podcast…tune in now.  

Join more of the conversation with Frank Monday through Thursday on the free zoom call – Loan Officer Breakfast Club – 8:30 EST

Don’t Just Ask for a Referral, Tell Them HOW to refer to You!

September 15, 2022

Episode 37

On this episode of The Mortgage Loan Officer Podcast, your host Frank Garay, will bridge the gap that tends to be the most overlooked when asking for the business. 

At Mortgage Marketing Animals and on the Loan Officer Breakfast Club, coaches preach it all-day-every-day as one of the most important conversations you can have as a loan officer. Asking for the business is the main activity – but wait! There’s another part to it – bridging the gap provides a solid path from A-Z. We need to tell our clients and referral partners “how” to refer to us. If we don’t, we’re missing the mark! 

Tune in today to learn how to implement this critical step and start making sure to bridge that gap today.

Need help putting this plan into action? Jump on a complimentary call with us here and we will help you bridge that gap.
