Building Unbreakable Partnerships: How John Wade Used His Referral Network to Close $85M in 2024
In this episode of The 360 Experience Podcast, Tim Braheem sits down with John Wade, a top-producing loan officer with over 20 years of experience, to break down the strategies that separate the average originators from the true market leaders.
Most loan officers are focused on chasing deals—but the ones who gain market share are building partnerships that last. If you’ve ever lost a deal to someone who “knows how to make things happen” or felt like you’re just another option for your referral partners, this episode is your wake-up call.
John’s approach to mastering loan structuring, creating momentum, and building loyalty will not only help you close more loans but also make you the advisor your clients and partners trust above all others.
Here’s what you’ll gain from this episode:
1️⃣ Unbeatable Loan Structuring: Learn how to navigate tough loans and uncover solutions others miss—becoming the go-to LO for deals no one else can close.
2️⃣ Next-Level Partnerships: Discover how John turns every transaction into an opportunity to build loyalty with referral partners and clients.
3️⃣ The Momentum Method: Why closing more deals (even at a lower margin) creates a ripple effect of success for your business.
