Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White.
In this episode, Carl sits down with Jim Reed to break down one of the biggest leaps a loan officer can make in their business: hiring their first assistant and doing it the right way. Jim shares the exact signals that show you are ready, the traps most LOs fall into when they wait too long, and why bringing on support early can often double your capacity faster than any marketing tactic.
Together they unpack what tasks should come off your plate first, how to structure the role for maximum impact, and why a great assistant can create more freedom, more consistency, and more closings. Carl explains how his own business transformed the moment he let go of the busy work and focused his time on the highest value activities that only he could do.
Jim also walks through the mindset shift required to stop thinking like a solo operator and start thinking like a business owner, including how to afford an assistant sooner than you might expect and what qualities matter more than resume experience. Their conversation gives a clear picture of how the right hire becomes a force multiplier for growth.
If you have ever felt buried in tasks, stuck at the same production level, or unsure how to scale without burning out, this episode will show you how a single hire can open the door to more loans, more freedom, and more momentum.
