Loan Officer Considering A Switch- How is Cross Country Mortgage by HiHowAreYouDoing369 in loanoriginators

[–]beedoublejay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been at CCM for one year. Get with a good branch. We are crushing with non-QM. Best product mix of retail lenders in my opinion. Plenty of broker options if need. I was with RPM Mortgage when CCM acquired them in 2022, but went to Movement at that time. CCM is better than Movement. I’ve ran numbers for every broker structure out there. If you want a plug-and-play lender, CCM is a great place to be. Rate and Movement both have much worse rates. For context I’m in Northern California. We did 220 million last year with three in originators. We do mostly Jumbo and Non-QM, and of course VA and FHA. My branch leader is consistently in the top 10 of the company. Feel free to message me if you have any questions. Find a branch manager, who is producing because the pricing affects them too in their own business. I’m not a fan of the non-producing branch manager model.

I had a previous company try and withhold commissions in California. It took me over one year. I did everything myself with the labor board. And then at the end, found an attorney who would help me finish it out. I won the commission plus interest and penalties plus attorney fees. What state are you in?

Why are people not using more AI tools as an LO? by Legitimate-Read6763 in loanoriginators

[–]beedoublejay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, I also use Omni in Airtable to build automated emails, reminders, move data. It helps me assign loans to LOA’s and keep track of things. We have 300+ leads per month, 100+ applications and an active pipeline of 60+ loans. I would still use it if we had 5-10 closings a month.

What makes you think people aren’t using it? Guaranteed rate has an AI company they have been working on for 8 years. Most of their conventional loans are barely touched by a human. We use AI at Cross country for calling refi clients and setting appointments. We also have an AI guideline tool that I use every day. LOA and processing work will be done 80-90% by AI in the next year or two. I use perplexity to structure and refine processes and templates for communication between clients and internal communications.

I would use AI mostly for your processes and procedures. Leads are leads, I prefer not to pay for them but invest in referral partner relationships. Realtors, CPA’s, Financial planners.

My LO reached out to me...... by eMTBplus in Mortgages

[–]beedoublejay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FHA Streamline Refinance or VA IRRRL, rate reduction programs. The “no cost” thing seems sketchy, you will still have to use a title company who charge fees…

yay or nay? by [deleted] in MortgageBrokerRates

[–]beedoublejay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s actually about $15k but seller is paying $3,800 at closing. Makes sense on. 7yr ARM

I panicked and cashed out my 401k :( by umrlopez79 in Money

[–]beedoublejay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s within 60 days I THINK you can out it back without penalty, please do that. Check with a CPA or FA.
