“Here’s why I chose the platform that I chose: Loan depot has encouraged more loan officers in the mortgage space to build their personal brand. I have been here for seven years and the company has not only supported me but encouraged me to build my personal brand. And by doing this, I have been able to attract and help other loan officers who want to build their personal brand.

I see many leaders in the mortgage space that are unknown but really good people because they haven’t taken the time to lean into the technology and the mechanics of what it takes to really get the message out there on what you do. Being able to help loan officers create a brand in their local market is one of the most key things that you can do to help loan officers grow.

One of the things that are key to doing this is knowing how to do it as a leader. Being able to get your message out and share your story is one of the most critical things that you can do.”
