You’re burning energy on coffee dates, cold calls, and endless follow-ups, only to walk away with maybe one deal if you’re lucky. It’s exhausting, it’s discouraging, and worst of all, it keeps you stuck in a cycle of working harder for less.

 

Here’s the truth: top-performing mortgage pros aren’t grinding it out like that. They’ve cracked the code to attract elite partners, the kind who don’t just send a deal here and there but sen...

While most mortgage professionals are struggling with today's challenging market conditions, Cynthia Lewis did something audacious—she found a way to add $25,000 to her monthly revenue in just 90 days.

Here's what makes this story incredible: The same "Screw it, let's do it" mindset that's driving her success right now is something any mortgage pro can adopt, regard...

If you're exhausted from endless cold calls, wasting money on low-quality leads, and showing up at open houses with minimal returns, you're not alone. Too many mortgage professionals are trapped in this feast-or-famine cycle.

Here's the uncomfortable truth: Those "struggle bunny" Realtors sending you just 1-3 deals annually might be exactly why you're overworked and underpaid.

Let’s be real—when you feel great, you tend to do great. But too many mortgage pros are stuck in a downward cycle of suck that drains their confidence, momentum, and their bank account. They’re not hitting their goals, their swagger is fading, and every setback fuels more frustration. How can they break free from this prison of limitation and create newfound momentum and mojo, so they can start winning again – not just in a “fair w...

2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year—uncertain markets, relatively high rates, rising challenges, and heightened competition are leaving many feeling stuck. But here's the reality: success isn’t determined by external forces—it’s determined by YOU.

If you're still relying on outdated strategies, hoping for a break, 2025 might be the year you get left behind. On the flip side, with the right mindset and approach, it could be the ...

Rising rates, shrinking pipelines, and fierce competition are crushing dreams left and right. But here’s the kicker—your results aren’t determined by the market; they’re determined by YOU and your marketing. 

If you’re not dialed into the right strategies and habits, 2025 could be the same or worse than last year—or if you make some potent strategic pivots, it could be the year you unleash your full potential and thrive like never ...

With constant algorithm changes and skyrocketing ad costs, it’s harder than ever to make Facebook ads work for your mortgage business. That’s why over 90% of mortgage pros fail to see any meaningful return from their Facebook ad campaigns. Yet, many LOs continue to throw money at these campaigns, hoping for a breakthrough. The result? Wasted time, drained budgets, and frustration that leads many to give up entirely.

 

But what if t...

With tens of thousands of mortgage pros leaving the business over the past 3 years, it comes as no surprise most mortgage pros use outdated tactics that yield little to no results in today's market. Between rising rates, low inventory, dwindling leads, and fierce competition, many LOs find themselves trapped in a cycle of frustration, grinding harder for less return.

The truth is, success in the mortgage industry has evolved, and c...

Businesses with strong team cultures crush the competition, outperforming by a jaw-dropping 200%. Yet in the relentless, high-pressure world of mortgages—where sales targets reign supreme—many leaders miss the mark on building the trust and collaboration that fuel sustainable success. Without a clear vision or a united team, scaling feels like trying to sprint through quicksand.

Our special Halloween podcast episode was streamed live on Halloween, but it was just too scary-awesome not to share with you…. 

Most mortgage pros feel trapped in a haunted house of inconsistent income, where leads vanish like ghosts and referrals are as scarce as full moons. It’s a frightening reality for many mortgage pros, plagued by unresponsive clients, dead leads gathering cobwebs, and pipelines running bone-dry.

In today's competitive market where inventory is low and rates are high, leads alone aren't enough. Success lies in how effectively you mine those opportunities.

 

If you’re not tapping into proven strategies to squeeze maximum value out of your database of prospects, clients and Realtors, you’re handing deals to your competitors on a silver platter—because they’ll be happy to take your market share.

Referrals are the lifeblood of any successful mortgage business. The majority of consumers trust referrals from people they know, yet most mortgage pros are stuck relying on inconsistent word-of-mouth and feel frustrated by the unpredictable flow of leads.

 

Many mortgage pros think that just doing great work will be enough to keep the referrals flowing, but hope is not a strategy. In fact, this passive approach is likely costing y...

Over the past 2.5 years, the majority of mortgage pros have seen a sharp decline in their pipelines in comparison to the “mortgage gold rush” of 2020-2021. Relying on the same old prospecting methods that worked a few years ago have probably hit the point of diminishing returns.

 

The reality is, if you're fishing in the same pond as everyone else, you're likely walking away empty-handed. To stay afloat and thrive, you need to get...

In today’s ultra-competitive market with low inventory and relatively high rates, leads are harder to come by, and yet, many are unwittingly wasting the few they do get by making costly mistakes.

 

The key to thriving unthriving times isn’t necessarily just about getting more leads, but in converting more of the ones you already have into high-quality, high-paying clients who send referrals, give rave reviews and then come back to ...

Most people think making decisions that lead to revenue growth is all about speed or just following your gut, but there's a lot more to it. Top producers in the mortgage industry excel because they have mastered the art of strategic decision-making.

What really sets top producers apart isn’t just that they know how to close a loan or sell their services – both of those skills are vital – but rather, their ability to lead themselves...

It's still a challenging market with rates high and inventory low, but remember, it's not the market, it's your marketing – AND YOUR MINDSET! It's all about controlling what's INSIDE of your control, and obviously, you cannot control market conditions. What you CAN control is your daily activities, what you focus on, and the spirit you bring to those activities, and that makes all the difference in the world when it comes to your r...
