Working with us you don’t have to wonder. We’re different.
What if your Loan Officer was a strategy expert and was 100% transparent, not to mention an active real estate investor and investing specialist?
What if your LO could coach your clients into making better financial decisions that enhance their net worth while making you look like a rockstar?
Too many Loan Officers over-promise and under-deliver. They might be good at making money, but then they completely suck at getting loans to the closing table.
We are experts in getting loans to closing and making you look awesome in front of your clients.
No confusing economic talk, no blueberry pie recipes, no BS. Just simple information to help you help your clients.
I was always a bit of an oddball and I never really felt like I fit in. I learned to enjoy being different and going against the grain. This created a business where I want to be different, a trendsetter…but also calling it like I see it; all while being around people that I wanted to be around.
I’m a problem-solver. Always have been. I seek out interesting solutions to fix problems. I’m also very independent. I don’t react well to being told what to do or following someone’s instructions. I create my own paths and systems. How’d I get this way? Besides a really weird childhood, my professional career took some interesting turns to get me where I am today.
I got my Real Estate License and started working for a residential real estate firm in Boston.
I moved to Houston and started working for a commercial real estate company. I was leasing shopping centers for a national grocery chain and representing national tenants to help them acquire lease space in Texas.
Became part of the ownership team of a property management firm, handling day-to-day operations. Though I was young and very naïve, I learned about all aspects of property management for commercial and residential properties including leasing, management, renovation/construction, maintenance/repair, etc.
Though property management for other owners is a truly thankless job; it was not fun at all and not a good fit for me. I am so thankful for the on-the-job training and experience I got which helps me immensely today.
The commercial real estate market was in a lot of pain. The property management business was miserable, and I felt there was something where I could help people vs large corporations. I got into mortgage, reluctantly.
This year was a tough time but the market was starting to improve. I was getting really good at structuring loans. I became the first loan officer in Texas to become a CERTIFIED MORTGAGE PLANNING SPECIALIST (CMPS). I took a ton of financial literacy classes to help clients make better financing decisions.
It was time to grow so I started building a team. Single loan officers can’t manage a large production volume with multiple clients. This is when problems happen. They get stuck in the minutia of the day-to-day…and generally burn out after a while…. or they build a “too big” team that loses touch with the client. It’s a balancing act that I’m pretty good at.
My team fluorished and we doubled our business each year! I was ranked #1, 2, or 3 each year for loan production, nationwide, at our company!
The industry was in turmoil and we made two company moves. These moves taught me a lot, but ultimately were not the right fit. We enjoy operating like a boutique lender and being at a large nationwide lending firm does not support that.
We are back home at Republic State Mortgage, with a new vision and opportunities ahead of us. I am actively pursuing keynote speaking events about real estate and mortgage issues & building out my own regional team. It’s so good to be home.
