Abdel Khawatmi didn’t just show up—he dropped a masterclass.
From building a consumer-direct and partner-driven hybrid model, to running multiple AI-driven systems, to scaling a team while still showing up like a true operator, this episode is everything The MLO Project is about.
Abdel breaks down exactly how he tracks every KPI in his business, uses social media as a brand amplifier (not a direct lead source), integrates AI like Fireflies, ChatGPT, Gamma, and Mortgage Coach to increase speed and accuracy, and builds deep community partnerships that generate real referrals—not vanity metrics.
He also shares how he splits credit with his LOs, leverages masterminds, and runs one of the tightest, most disciplined operations in the business—all while rocking a Cybertruck and a Got Mortgages shirt at the gym.
