Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White.

In this episode, Carl is joined by top producer Jenay Bowen, who consistently closes eight to nine units a month by following a structured loan consultation process that dramatically increases conversion and minimizes surprises for buyers and agents. Jenay walks through her three part framework intro, nuts and bolts, and close and explains how it transforms the pre approval meeting into a smooth, predictable, and highly professional experience.

You’ll hear how she uses a simple 21 point checklist to stay on track, avoid missed steps, and set clear expectations from the start, which she says eliminates up to 90 percent of the problems that usually surface later in the transaction. Jenay shares how she educates clients with real numbers, guides couples to get aligned on budget, and uses her triangle of trust approach to strengthen agent relationships in every meeting. She also breaks down her pilot and turbulence story that prepares buyers for the journey ahead and shows why it boosts confidence and trust.

Carl and Jenay dig into her closeout strategy, including why she has every borrower sign their application on the spot, how she asks for referrals in a natural way, and why this meeting creates pre approvals that agents view as solid as cash. Her system leaves nothing to chance and gives loan officers a repeatable process that increases conversion without adding more hours to the day.

If you want pre approvals that stick, smoother transactions, and a consistent path to higher conversion, Jenay’s process gives you the blueprint.
