TOP 200 MORTGAGE ORIGINATORSIn America 2016

The last decade has been turbulent in the mortgage industry. Over 70% of the

mortgage competition has been swept away during this time of change. For many of

the nation’s top producers, the consumers “flight to quality” has created a unique

opportunity to grow market share in both purchase and refinance mortgages.

Mortgage Executive Magazine compiled the most comprehensive list of The Nation’s

Top 200 Mortgage Originators as ranked by their total yearly mortgage volume.

Entries cannot include loan volume of associate originators or junior originators that

earn a commission on the same loan files. Mortgage Executive Magazine seeks to

recognize and celebrate the service, dedication, and hard work that leading mortgage

originators put into serving their clients.

TOP 200 MORTGAGE ORIGINATORSIn America 2016

Learn the Critical Money Making Skills You Need To Build a Profitable Mortgage Business

Here are some sobering statistics. The majority of mortgage originators will likely see a 20–40% decline in personal income from last year. And if that is the worst that happens, they are the lucky ones.

What makes the difference between thriving and barely surviving in the mortgage business, between a Top 10 Mortgage Originator earning $1,000,000+ a year and someone just getting by? Answer: It’s not interest rates or service levels. It’s the skills, strategies and systems developed and implemented by each mortgage professional. That is the key element.

Mastermind Summit gives you the tools and systems to make the quantum leaps in your mortgage production and business results. Designed for successful, experienced Originators, Managers and CEOs the event provides what is needed to breakthrough to the next level.

TOP 200 MORTGAGE ORIGINATORSIn America 2016

Here Is What $100m Originators Are Saying About Mastermind Summit

Brian Blonder, the top mortgage originator shared, “To be successful in the mortgage industry, I have found it takes the willingness to become teachable. The mortgage industry is very dynamic and ever changing. It requires us to become a “student of the game.” We constantly have to analyze our own techniques and investigate the best practices of other successful mortgage salespeople, and incorporate a blend of our skills with knowledge we learn from others who have walked our path before us, in order to stay on top. Use your knowledge and tools to go to battle each day, and WIN.

David Jaffe, a top originator at On Q Financial, shared his success formula with MEM. “One of the first things I learned when I was new to the business was to learn from those who came before me. I have never been a believer in re-inventing the wheel, but a huge fan of finding successful strategies others have used and becoming a master at swipe and adapt. Implementing proven strategies has been a large part of my success and enabled me to spend more time building the business and less time coming up with ideas.”
