On this episode of Broker to Broker, host JP Hussey is joined by Broker Owner of Pinnacle Mortgage Corp, Kurt Strandson. Kurt has a wealth of experience, insight, and influence. As the former president and chairman of the Mortgage Bankers and Brokers Association, with experience lobbying for broker and homeowner rights since the crash of 2008, Kurt brought his years of advocacy expertise and experience to his new role as the AIME Legislative State Captain of New Hampshire. Kurt shares not just his knowledge of advocating for homebuyers and his fellow brokers, but also his knowledge of running and scaling a successful, growing brokerage. Kurt's strategy for organic lead generation by way of fostering relationships with his clients and community before, and especially after closing on homes, is his secret to evergreen referrals and leads. “We focus on customer experience throughout the transaction. Not just throughout the transaction, but after the transaction. Many companies will focus on going out and entertaining some realtors asking for the next new loan. We spend a lot of time on a yearly basis, 7 to 8 events a year, where we invite our most recent clients to events after they closed, and we're formulating relationships with them. We're inviting their families or kids. We do stuff in the local community and we're building those relationships so they know that we care. It's not ‘Oh, your loan is closed, we're not going to see it for a long time'. Your first loan is done, and that's how you build those lasting referral relationships. You're providing a level of service. They come to us, with questions like, ‘Hey, I need a plumber,' or ‘Hey I need a solar guy,' or they're coming back asking for referrals. It keeps that dialog going. So it's not just a one-and-done transaction. And then that's how you build some loyal relationships. They rely on you. They rely on you for your knowledge, your professionalism, your experience, and you're able to provide that for more than just on a one transaction deal.” Key Points: 2:01 Starting Out As a Broker in New England 7:31 Broker Advocacy in Action 11:27 Advocacy Strategies — Local to National 13:37 Why Employees and Homebuyers Go Broker 18:38 Pinnacle's Structure and Growth Strategy 22:36 Lead Generation via Fostering Relationships This episode is sponsored by Change Wholesale

In this episode, I’m welcoming back “Coach” Kyle Draper, social media expert and host of the podcast “The Social Media Mindset.” In this episode, we will be discussing Kyle’s thoughts on the changing popularity and functionality of different social media platforms. If you’re not doing video content, both short and longer forms, and not taking advantage of all the platforms that are available to you, as Kyle puts it, it’s kind of like going fishing and having access to six poles, but saying “Nah, I’m good with just one.” Every conversation, meeting, class, event, is a source of content. Do a long-form 30-minute video once a week, and use that to pull all your shorter content for the week. There are easy ways to outsource editing and polishing with services like Fiverr, so why not give it a try?

Discussion Points: Re-evaluating social media - moving Instagram from #1 to #5 (Gary V the king of content), Facebook to #1 (for reels), YouTube shorts, TikTok to #3 Why not use every opportunity that is available to you - you’ve already got the content, so upload it to every platform you can! Don’t ignore long-form content - podcasts, educational, do something longer than one minute to expose the best version of yourself as an expert Pick two topics a week for 3-6 minutes each, and pull short reels from this content Sit down and record 30 mins a week, send it to Fiverr to edit and create a final product, use that content to create content for all the platforms Yesterday’s conversations are today’s content – your calls, your coaching, your meetings - all contain great content Personal referrals are always trumped by your online presence, if you look like you suck, the perception is that you suck Resources/Links: Kyle Draper Website Kyle Draper Facebook Kyle Draper Instagram Kyle Draper LinkedIn Kyle Draper YouTube The Social Media Mindset Podcast Taylor Ellard LinkedIn Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group

The Conversations takes a victory lap for the many predictions on this podcast that were validated by subsequent events. At the same time, this episode will look ahead to what may come next in the financial markets and for the global economy. "These predictions were made well before they became conventional wisdom," writes DICK BOVE, chief financial strategist at Odeon Capital Group. In this latest Conversation, BOVE takes us through his litany of forecasts, from soaring inflation to the Fed acting as a buyer of last resort in funding Federal deficits. MAT VAN ALSTYNE, Odeon co-founder and managing partner, warns that some 50 percent of US debt turns over every three years, raising the prospect for trouble in our current environment. With mortgage rates in the US having topped 7 percent, a 20-year high, JOHN AIDAN BYRNE examines how that translates for borrowing costs. The Conversation also examines the latest risks of the much anticipated recession in the US and worldwide, with BOVE looking at contributing factors that could shape its outcome. On Wednesday, November 2, the US Fed announced a fourth consecutive 75 basis points rate rise, which puts the benchmark federal funds rate at a range of 3.75% and 4.00%. The total of rate hikes for the year is now at 375 bps. E-Mail Questions and Comments: Podcast@OdeonCap.com
In tough economic times like these, it’s tempting to latch on to the latest new idea, tool, or method in an attempt to increase your business or bring your volume back to your previous levels. But Steve Powell, a Growth & Leadership Coach here at Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group, says that’s often a bad idea. As Steve tells us, it’s better to rely on a proven technique that you have vetted, and power through it– don’t be distracted by the latest shiny object. Loan officers and agents often jump right from idea to action without letting the thought sit and develop a bit more so it can become an effective behavior. Humans often do not think enough before acting, as millions of YouTube accident videos will show. Steve recommends taking time before your week begins, maybe a Sunday evening, to sit down for no more than an hour and plan out your week. Think about how the interactions with your clients or customers might go, and just think… get your mind “set” about the best ways to approach each scenario. Lending Forward is a weekly podcast hosted by Taylor Ellard and powered by Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group. We bring you raw stories from real people in the mortgage industry.

Atlantic Bay has been recognized as a Top 100 Mortgage Company in America, Best Mortgage Company, Most Enjoyable Place to Work, and an Inc. 500 Fastest Growing Company. Discussion Points: What Steve is hearing in the industry as our market continues to shift The best advice at this time for mortgage bankers who are serious about building their business Taking time to answer questions in any public speaking engagement - “Let me think about that” Time-blocking - schedule time to think and plan Meditation, spiritual pursuits, exercise Writing a recap to yourself after learning something new The “noise” of too many tools, books, methodologies, etc How thinking drives performance Creating expectations, building drive, when behaviors becomes perfomance Give your thoughts and plans enough room, and time, to become effective behaviors Resources/Links: Steve Powell LinkedIn Maxwell Leadership Website Dr. John Maxwell - Books Taylor Ellard LinkedIn Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group
My returning guest today is Dan Habib, EVP of MBS Highway. Dan gives us an insider look at interest rates, inflation trends, market charts and other data that shows us how far we’ve come in 2022 and what the beginning of 2023 may look like. Dan’s advice, if you’re currently renting and waiting to buy, is – don’t wait. It’s a buyer’s market right now, and if you opt for lower up-front costs, you can always refi when rates begin to come down again. MBS Highway provides daily market insight videos, real estate data, live market quotes, alerts to lock/float ahead of lender re-prices, loan comparison tools, cost of waiting analysis, debt consolidation tools, and much more. MBS Highway turns mortgage professionals into advisors that understand what is driving interest rates, are able to articulate the financial opportunity in housing, and are actual ‘debt managers.’ Surprisingly, most mortgage professionals are not able to do these things.

Discussion Points: Reviewing previous appearances Looking to the Fed meetings in November and December - what hikes will we see The UK had their own troubles with the country’s pension plan, doing buying now Inflation predictions - start to see easing at the end of Q4 this year, beginning of Q1 2023 Rates went up so fast, will they come down fast? Probably not. 30% of MBS transactions are still refi’s Mortgage bond pricing vs. interest rates “Floor of support” vs. “ceiling of resistance” in the candlestick charts Crystal ball - renters are waiting, when will things “shake out”? It’s not a good idea to wait, in general. Rents are going up steeply each year. It’s more of a buyer’s market now.

An average two-bedroom rental in Virginia Beach is currently between $1300 and $3000 a month. Lori Gibson thinks that’s insane.

With over 35 years in the industry and 15 as a mortgage banker, Lori has helped thousands of clients purchase and refinance their homes.

In this episode, I’m thrilled to welcome back Casey Rutherford from Modern Agent to our podcast. I’ll be asking Casey about things like “mom guilt” and overcoming it, balancing our full family lives with being a responsive agent to all your clients, and living, as Casey terms it, an ‘integrated life’ which is a little different than the typical ideas about work-life balance. Society has imposed a lot of ridiculous norms on women and how they are supposed to behave regarding family and children– don’t fall prey to some of these antiquated societal ‘rules’ that don’t really even exist!

Being transparent with clients is essential – what tips do you have for setting expectations during that first meeting? Some pivotal moments for Casey in the last twelve months Mom guilt and how to diffuse it Casey hired a nanny to potty train her third child, and got lots of support for it Many of the things we wrestle with as moms are just not talked about How Casey had nametags made for her kids and clients thought it was the cutest thing ever What’s a good piece of advice for agents/moms/dads out there on balancing family and work?

Today I’m honored to speak with Bruce Buckley (CEO) and David Ramirez (Home and Credit Financial Education Program Manager) from Soldier On, a private nonprofit organization committed to ending veteran homelessness. Since 1994, the organization has been providing homeless veterans with transitional housing and supportive services. In 2010, Soldier On opened the first Gordon H. Mansfield Veterans Community, a permanent housing cooperative that provides formerly homeless veterans with safe, sustainable, affordable housing – transitioning them from homelessness to homeownership. This housing model has now been replicated seven times, and currently comprises 300 apartments (and growing) in the Massachusetts and New Jersey region. Bruce and David talk with me about some inspirational success stories of veterans who started with nothing, on the streets, unsheltered and unaware of the many benefits and programs available to help them. From financial counseling to help them establish and build credit, to VA loans that can enable them to become homeowners, Soldier On continues to change the end of the story for homeless veterans throughout the country.
