Dear MortgageRight,
My business should be booming. With interest rates falling, many homeowners are looking to refinance, and I’ve been trying to take advantage of the opportunity to offer more loans–but my company is thwarting my efforts. My work gets passed through multiple layers of middle management, a clunky and frustrating process. I have to jump through so many hoops and rely on so many different people that I end up missing closing dates–and losing business.
I’ve been a loan officer for a long time, and I know what I’m doing. I’m tired of having other people mess me up, slow me down, and drive my clients away.
Something has to give. Either I need to go out and find one of the best mortgage companies to work for, or I need to start a company myself. I’ve heard about the old net branch model, and it got me thinking about making a change. Am I crazy to think I could do better on my own?
Sincerely,
A hardworking loan officer who’s tired of being micromanaged
Dear Hard-Working Loan Officer,
You’re not crazy. You’re an experienced, forward-thinking producer who sees an opportunity in today’s market. You should be benefiting from your expertise and effort, not getting micromanaged (not to mention nickel-and-dimed to death) by your company. At MortgageRight, we help loan officers like you escape limiting situations working for big companies, so you can become your own boss. When you own the company, you set your own rates, hire your own staff, and keep more of the money you make. You become one of the best mortgage companies to work for.
Why Loan Officers Should Enter the Refinancing Market
With today’s falling rates, refinancing is an attractive option for many homeowners. Many homeowners are weighing their options and shopping around for the best rates. Smart loan officers like you are looking to expand their focus from home loans and capitalize on the refinancing opportunity. But you may not have the freedom or flexibility to pursue that opportunity while working for someone else.
When you start your own mortgage company with MortgageRight, we’ll help you expand your expertise and take advantage of current market trends like refinancing. You are already an expert in helping homebuyers get loans. Now you can add to your toolbelt–and your potential income stream. Refinancing can be a worthwhile endeavor for loan officers looking to offer more options to their clients. It also allows you to increase profits by working smarter, not harder. MortgageRight’s competitive pricing allows you to offer potential clients the best rates so you secure more deals. It also sets you free from the frustrations you’re experiencing at your current company.

Profitability and Growth Opportunities Will Make Your Branch One of the Best Mortgage Companies to Work for
If you’re feeling frustrated by padded rates, unexpected and unexplained rate hikes, and unpredictable closing times, your business is suffering. When you partner with MortgageRight, you benefit from our flat-rate structure, lower fees, and quick closing times. Instead of chasing down the higher-ups, asking them to do their jobs, you’ll spend more time growing your business. Instead of cutting your own profits to line middle management’s pockets, you’ll reinvest your profits into marketing and lead generation. You’ll stop spinning your wheels, and start growing your business.
But don’t just take our word for it. Listen to the real-life experiences of some of our successful partners:
Scott Horejsi conquered burnout and frustration
Scott Horejsi was on the fast track to burning out. His experience partnering with another mortgage company led to frustration after frustration because of underwriting fumbles, missed closing dates, and failed funding. Things had to change–so Scott changed partners. He chose to work with MortgageRight, and he’s never looked back. He says, “It has been an absolute joy working with these guys. We’re talking underwriting, closing, and funding—there are very few loans that will not close on time or early… This is like a dream.”
Ben Phillips nurtures long-term client relationships
As a VP of mortgage operations, Ben Phillips helped grow a $10 million branch to $50 million. When he expressed some valid frustrations, his old company should have listened to him… They didn’t. Ben turned to MortgageRight. The excellence and transparency he’s experienced with his partners at MortgageRight have enabled him to build a business that fosters tremendous trust with his clients. Instead of jumping through corporate hoops, Ben devotes his time to nurturing client relationships: a third of his clients have now worked with him two, three, even four times. Ben says, “I’m so thankful I reached out to MortgageRight. I had aspirations and dreams and financial goals. I just had those dreams in my pocket, waiting, but it’s a reality now.”
