BRINGING ALL HIS SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE TO THE BROKER CHANNEL
As a former educator and real estate agent, Rick’s experiences in both of those fields are what initially drove him to want to originate home loans as an independent mortgage broker.
He loved being a teacher, but he didn’t love the pay. And when Rick was a real estate agent, he would often encounter situations where he was educating his clients on the home financing process amidst significantly slow closing times.
“I know what it takes to close deals. And at times I felt like I needed to just get behind the other side of the table to get deals done,” said Rick.
In addition to his knack for closing deals, Rick has a master’s degree and began his career working in Georgia schools.
“I think of myself as an educator first,” said Rick. “So I'm just educating people in the real estate world, in the mortgage world now. And that's number one.”
Rick isn’t shy about trying to revolutionize the way real estate is done. He treats every one of his clients and referral partners like they’re family, even going so far as to show a house for one of his real estate agents if they’re unable to do so.
As an independent mortgage broker, Rick is also taking advantage of the cost savings that he can offer to his borrowers.
“This is why we went the wholesale route,” said Rick. “Our main goal was to save our clients money.”
Rick is combining all of his experience and the knowledge he’s accumulated and is passing it on to everyone he meets. And he’s just getting started.
“We have a whole vision and once it comes full circle, it's going to be amazing.”
