You ever notice how everyone in real estate calls themselves a âTop Producerâ?Itâs on business cards, Instagram bios, and those flashy ads with crossed arms and foggy mountain backdrops.So, being the mortgage nerd I am⌠I like to look them up.
And wow.
Half the time they havenât sold or closed a thing in six months.
đŹMeanwhile, the same handful of agents and loan officers are quietly doing the majority of the business â helping actual buyers and sellers navigate real-life deals, not just posing for âJust Listedâ posts.
Hereâs the truth behind the hype:
đ The top 20% of real estate agents handle about 65% of all transactions.đŚ
In lending, itâs no different â a small percentage of loan officers close the vast majority of loans.
And thatâs where being a mortgage broker really sets things apart.Iâm not locked into one bankâs rates, one set of guidelines, or one way of doing things.I shop across dozens of wholesale lenders â comparing products, rates, and turn times â to find the best fit for each client.That means youâre getting the experience and the flexibility.
Because when the market gets tricky (and letâs be honest â itâs always a little tricky), experience matters.An experienced broker knows which lenders are crushing turn times this week, whoâs better with condos or ADUs, which AUS systems are being fussy, and how to structure a file so it sails through underwriting instead of getting stuck.
So when youâre choosing someone to represent you, donât just go with the person who looks the part.
Go with the one whoâs in the trenches every week, solving problems, closing loans, and actually doing this work.
Because in this business, experience isnât a title â itâs a track record.
