There’s no amount of money that can replace the time spent with your family. Do you believe that? I tell ya what, it can be really hard to run a successful mortgage business while making sure you’re spending quality time with your family, but it can be done. I’ve had loan officers tell me they didn’t want to increase their business because that would mean increasing the number of headaches they had too. Is that how you feel?  

On this episode of Loan Officer Freedom, I’m sitting down with Chris Swartz, one of the leaders in the Freedom Club who doubled his business over the course of a year…and you know what, he not only increased his business, he also increased the amount of time spent with his family. If you want to know what it takes to double your business, the right way, you’ll want to listen to this episode of Loan Officer Freedom.  We’ll talk about:

• The one thing that was a catalyst for his business
• What motivated him to want to increase his production
• How you can do it too

As a loan officer, one of the biggest reasons people fail to reach their full potential is because they fail to put in the action. They’re simply “waiting on their pants.” Waiting to get started…

On this episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the number one podcast for mortgage loan officers, I’m sharing why it’s easy to “wait for your pants,” I’ll even share a story about someone who did just that. On the contrary, I’ll also share with you a simple 3-step system that you can use today to:

• Identify your end goal.
• Eliminate steps that are distracting and nonessential to attaining your goals.

It’s easy to say you’ll get started on a major activity, it’s even easier to think about getting started on that activity, but it’s essential to ACTUALLY GET STARTED. That’s when you’ll see results, that’s when your life will change!

Thank you for tuning into Loan Officer Freedom, the number #1 podcast for Loan Officers thanks to you and all of our listeners! On this episode, I want to address a commonly asked question, “what are the best strategies to market direct to consumer.” Have you considered that question yourself?

I think everyone knows I’m a branch manager for one of the nation’s top mortgage firms. We literally just had a record-breaking month last month in my branch and I couldn’t be happier to share the strategies we use every single day in my branch to be able to close more than 500 units per month. Do I include direct to consumer in my overall marketing strategy, sure! However, if you ask me I will always tell you that is not my bread and butter.

In this episode you’ll learn:
– How we include direct to consumer marketing in our ad campaign
– Which strategies are the top priority in my branch
– What you can do to get the highest conversion rate when it comes to leads

I’ve come to realize I’m not in the mortgage business, I’m really in the business of building relationships with people. Relationship marketing, by far, is one of the best types of marketing activities I’ve implemented in my own business by attending and hosting educational events. But putting together power points and teaching classes isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Longtime leader in the Freedom Club and my dear friend, Suzanne Downs, has found epic success with relationship marketing without creating a single power point presentation. Want to know how?

On this episode of Loan Officer Freedom – the number one podcast for Loan Officers, thanks to you fine folks – Suzanne and I talk about how she shows appreciation for the people that send her business while creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere during her monthly mixers in order to generate even more business every single month.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• How to coordinate a monthly mixer
• Who to invite
• Getting sponsors to offset the cost
• How to strategically follow up with the attendees

On this episode of Loan Officer Freedom, the number one podcast for Loan Officer, I’m talking to my friend and a new leader in the Freedom Club, Chris Jameson. Chris is an expert when it comes to hard money loans, we all think we know what a hard money loan is, but what are they really? There are many misconceptions out there when it comes to these loans and I’ll admit I believed some of the myths about them too. Have you heard any of the following?

• Hard money loans are only for people who have poor or bad credit.
• Borrowers who use hard money loans don’t have any money for a down payment.
• If a borrower uses a hard money loan, it’s because they don’t qualify for a conventional loan.

They’re all myths, and my buddy Chris is here to shed some light on what a hard money loan is and isn’t and the three reasons a borrower typically uses this loan for. Want to find out more? Listen in on today’s episode.
