HousingWire presents The Wholesale Market Master Class, presented by BeAMortgageBroker.com. This four-part series is focused on all things wholesale and the role that the wholesale market plays in the mortgage ecosystem.

Our expert this week is Mike Walton, Director of Wholesale Development at United Wholesale Mortgage. Mike works to grow the wholesale mortgage channel to new heights by engaging consumers, financial institutions, and budding entrepreneurs with the hopes of bringing awareness and support to those who want to explore opportunities in wholesale.

In today’s conversation with Mike, we cover common paths and professional backgrounds that lead to becoming a mortgage broker, the decision between opening a new brokerage vs. joining an established and scaled broker shop, the business model of running a brokerage and the vibrant community of brokers coast to coast.
