  • Are you bogged down daily by administrative tasks?
  • Does your current company prioritize profit over client interactions?

Preparing for the Transition

Transitioning to a new branch manager opportunity can be exciting and overwhelming. But don’t worry—MortgageRight will help! We have the staff, tools, resources, and patience to help you transition without leaving anyone hanging. They will work with you to exit on good terms and provide options for your staff and clients to make the best decisions for themselves. You’ll be off to a great start with a personalized transition plan, clear communication, and some strategic planning.

First things first, let’s consider a transition plan. What projects do you need to wrap up before leaving? Who do you need to inform about your career transition? What do you need to prepare to start your new job? Make a list and prioritize your tasks. We will prepare to help transfer licenses, set up your technology services, and organize your onboarding material.

Communication is critical during this period. Start by talking to your employer. Let your current company know your plans to start your branch with MortgageRight. Discuss how best to transition your projects to a different loan officer. Next, communicate your plans with your staff. Let them know about your move and how it might affect them. Be open and honest so they can make the best decisions for themselves. The same goes for your clients. They must be in the loop to make informed decisions about their financial needs. Some of your staff and clients may want to transition with you. Explain the benefits of MortgageRight and how it will enhance your services.

Next, determine a transition timeline. Set realistic deadlines and stick to them. Make sure to communicate with the MortageRight team about your timeline. We’ll ensure that your current employer gets to close their loans and that your clients are taken care of. We will help you hit the ground running, ensuring you can continue to deliver top-notch service without missing a beat.

Onboarding the Team

As a branch manager, you will supervise a team of processors, loan officers, loan officer assistants, and business managers. The great news is that you will have the ability to choose and hire your team members. We will handle all background checks and HR logistics. Our processing team leads will train all your team members to be familiar with the MortgageRight structures and develop the skills needed to succeed. 

Starting a Branch Manager Opportunity with MortgageRight

Once we’ve set your starting date with MortgageRight, we will start the foundational steps to help you thrive. We will order you a computer, build your website, and develop a marketing strategy for your team. Our licensing department will pick up your sponsorship and make sure everything is ready for you to hit the ground running. 

We know your client relationships are important. When you tell your clients about your transition, they will have two options: stay with your previous company or continue to work with you through MortgageRight. Your clients can apply for a loan with MortgageRight. Once you are onboarded with MortgageRight, you can continue to work with those clients.  

We start all of our new branch managers with a detailed onboarding session. We will meet with you to introduce you to our fantastic department leaders, walk you through our loan processes, and make sure you feel comfortable with the MortgageRight framework.
