Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White.
In this episode, your host Carl White teams up with Owen Lee to unpack the quiet earthquake shaking up the mortgage industry—massive moves by Rocket Mortgage that most LOs have already stopped talking about.
They reveal how Rocket’s acquisition of Redfin and Mr. Cooper could reshape borrower behavior forever, giving them first dibs on millions of consumers before the rest of us even know they’re looking.
Carl and Owen use a powerful bear-and-salmon analogy to show how referral-based LOs risk losing deals unless they evolve fast—and how smart use of predictive tech can help you stay ahead.
This isn’t a doom-and-gloom episode—it’s a call to action packed with clarity, urgency, and opportunity for those willing to pivot now.
