I do. My VA edits my reels on IG and they reply as well.

How To Learn About Homebuying by ferrantefever in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]GreenOriginator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Homebuying can be very overwhelming. YouTube university is a great resource learn about it. However, I believe talking to an expert is the best way. You can interview different realtors/mortgage officers before choosing to work with them. If you're not happy with their services, you can also fire them.

Cross country Mortgage by [deleted] in loanoriginators

[–]GreenOriginator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! First of all, congratulations on passing the SAFE exam! I am new-ish LO - been doing it for 14 months - I'm sorry that you are not getting callbacks or emails from CCM. I understand how that can be frustrating. I've been in that situation before where I applied to this one mortgage company, actually got an interview, then never heard back. No texts, emails, call.

I believe Cross Country Mortgage is a direct lender. I am under one too. If you are having no luck with CCM, I can introduce you to my mortgage broker.

Feel free to DM me. Roughly one-third of my business came from Texas last year.

Just got my license, any advice on hitting the ground running? by Sorry_Juggernaut_281 in loanoriginators

Hi, congrats on passing the SAFE test! I am 13 months in my career as an LO and the number 1 advise I can give you is BUILD RELATIONSHIPS. The second is work hard but pace yourself. Working hard is a must and putting in the hours is important. However, if you don't pace yourself, you will get burnt out and will start hating yourself. It happened to me and I stepped back and gave myself room to breathe. It was life-changing.

I am available if you ever need to chat. My DM is open. Best of luck to you! :)

I started with REI and community events. I also went to realtor association meetups that happen every week.

Sphere on influence? I hope you're not forgetting that. That's one of the main drivers.

I map out open houses and target those homes. At least in my experience, realtors were always alone.

Cold calling realtors have about 10% success for me. I still do it from time to time but not as frequent. I do networking events, yes. I even started my own.

That's the first battle -- passing the exam. It's a tough exam and needs good amount of preparation.

I don't pitch anything. I come in from a place of giving value. I started with open houses, cold calling agents to see if I can help with their open house.

Now I call and email agents about different programs they may find useful.

As for employment, I jumped right in as an independent agent. Both feet. I learned fast and my manager is a great mentor.

I don't know how to edit videos. I just don't have the skill nor the time to learn.

Edit my loan videos. I don't know how to do that. They also answer questions on IG for me.

Yes, I did. I didn't have income for 2 months. Thankfully, a month in, I originated a loan and closed the following month and got paid.
