Quick gut check - 5 questions
Do you have these five?
Can you get a live human in capital markets on an exception today, or do you submit a ticket?
Do your LOS and CRM actually live in one system, or do you re-key the same data twice?
When a closing is about to fall apart at 4:45pm, is there a number that actually gets answered?
Can you offer a 0% interest bridge so your buyer can make a non-contingent offer?
Does your company match 20% of your 401(k), or are you funding retirement alone?
Answer honestly. Nothing is saved anywhere but your own browser.

Bring Your List. Leave With Options.
I built this list because loan officers kept asking me the same question: what do the top producers have that I don't? If something on here is missing from your world, get on my calendar and we will map out how to get it - build it yourself, ask your own shop, hire for it, or look at a different platform. All four are real answers and I will tell you which one I think fits.
- Mortgage and real estate leader with 20+ years of experience helping loan officers, agents and businesses grow through strategy, technology and relationships.
- Helped scale a mortgage company from $130 million to $3 billion in three years and personally closed as many as 42 loans in one month.
- For 15+ years, Scotty has trained loan officers and agents through weekly coaching, live shows, workshops and speaking events.
- Best-selling author of two books for mortgage and real estate professionals and creator and host of MLOLiveShow.com.
One question
Found Something on This List You Don’t Have?
That is the whole point of the site. Get on my calendar and we will figure out how you get it. Sometimes it is a tool. Sometimes it is a hire. Sometimes it is asking your own company for something you never thought to ask for. Plenty of these calls end with me telling someone to stay exactly where they are.
