The Loan Officer Podcast

The mission is simple; to invite you into the room where it happens. They strive to teach you how to create opportunities even when it can be a struggle to get your foot in the door. While there is a lot of content geared specifically towards mortgage professionals, the majority of the episodes will resonate will all audience members. (Not just mortgage lenders!)
