FYI – It’s Best to Start at the Beginning

Episode 69

In this episode, I personally get very transparent about my re-entry into the mortgage business as a street-level loan officer. Spoiler alert, it’s not going as easy as I thought it would.

I think that this podcast is great for newer originators that are looking to start adding team members, and it’s also a very good podcast for those, like me, who have been at this for decades. What a humbling experience this has been for me. But even though it’s been humbling, it’s been exciting at the same time.

The good news is, I’ve got this. So please tune in and let me share my journey with you. As I progress along, I’ll continue to document my new venture into a space that I’ve occupied for over 30 years. In the end, I WILL leave a wonderful legacy for my children – watch me.

Trust me. Video Doesn’t Get Easier Than This

Episode 64

Welcome to another epic episode of The Mortgage Loan Officer Podcast, with your host, Frank Garay.

In this episode, I interview Ginger Bell about the varying levels of video marketing services she provides mortgage professionals.  If you’re unfamiliar with me, I’ve been a video guy since July 2, 2007. I forged a career out of video marketing, and in my opinion, there is no easier way to get going with video than what Ginger Bell offers.  She has put together the best turn-key system I’ve ever seen, and more importantly, it’s a system that does everything right, from scripting to editing to distribution. Amazing.  I am WELL qualified to take on video marketing for myself and my daughters’ new mortgage team, but after seeing what Ginger has going on it was an absolute no-brainer to hand over the reins to Ginger and her team.  Enjoy the podcast and get with Ginger immediately.

How to Dig The Gold Out of Your Smartphone

Episode 63

Welcome to another epic episode of The Mortgage Loan Officer Podcast, with your host, Frank Garay.

In this episode, I have a conversation with Mike Cardascia and Kristin Simpson about how to dig business out of our smartphones. We’ve had a lot of conversations in the past about using a phone app to extract your contact list out of your phone called “Export by Covve”. Getting that done is the easy part, but the question we tackle on this podcast is “what do we say to these contacts when we call them?” Spoiler alert – it’s way easier than you might be thinking. Learn all this and more by tuning in!

Setting Up The Perfect Team

Episode 62

Welcome to another epic episode of The Mortgage Loan Officer Podcast, with your host, Frank Garay.

In this episode, I interview Steve Kyles about setting up the perfect team. When it comes to setting up a team, our main focus should be that by doing so, we free up more time for us to prospect.  This can be a trap for a lot of loan officers and we should be wise not to do it. But if we do want to set up a team, with the view of getting more prospecting in, how do we do it properly?  Who do we hire and what do they do?  Most importantly, WHEN do we consider adding a team member.  Learn all this and more by tuning in!

This is Non Negotiable as a Loan Officer

Episode 60

Welcome to another epic episode of The Mortgage Loan Officer Podcast, with your host, Frank Garay. 

In this episode, I felt I had to say this. There are certain things that are non-negotiable in life and we instinctively know what they are and we do those things. This applies to our mortgage business as well, but many of us simply don’t realize it. Today I talk about what the non-negotiable items are in the mortgage industry as a mortgage originator. Tune it if you’ve got the guts to learn it.  If you do, and you take it to heart, you’ll never have a rollercoaster year again.

Don’t Let a Great Market Ruin Your Business!

Episode 59

Welcome to another epic episode of The Mortgage Loan Officer Podcast, with your host, Frank Garay. 

On this episode, I was burdened to give a warning to all of us in the mortgage industry that a “shift” for the better is coming and, in fact, is already here in many markets that can be very damaging to our business if we’re not smart about it. I know that might sound strange. How can a great market damage my business you might ask? Well, it can, and it has, many of us just went through this. Great markets can cloud our thinking and cause us to lose track of what it means to run a business. The good news is, we can prepare for it. Tune in today to see what I mean.
