This week, we're excited to shine our #employeespotlight on Aly Barbieri, our Homeownership Coach, Sr. Analyst
Aly joined us in 2022 as a Credit and Coaching Analyst bringing mortgage experience from her prior role as a mortgage loan officer. Aly has been focal in the structuring of our coaching curriculum focusing on continued client success.
Thank you, Aly, for helping our clients stay on a healthy financial plan and achieve their dream of becoming homeowners. Your dedication and expertise are greatly appreciated.
I had an amazing conversation with Kevin Peranio, and Rob Chrisman as we examined what is driving the high cost of mortgage origination.
What spurred this conversation was when I read that while close to 60% of mortgage companies were profitable in Q1 2024 (good news), per-loan costs are still increasing! Those costs are $12,593 per loan, up from $12,485 in Q4 2023. From Q3 2008 - Q1 2022, the average cost per loan was $7,305! 😱
I had to get to the bottom of what is driving up those costs…
⭐ MY HIGHLIGHTS ⭐ – “Navigating The True Cost of Mortgage Operations”
1. 80% of the attendees knew that Rob Chrisman’s pet is a cat 😻 named Myrtle. A bunch thought his pet was a turtle 🐢 . I mean Myrtle does rhyme with turtle. You can connect with Myrtle on LinkedIn here. https://lnkd.in/eFtSe24c My request is still pending, so maybe you must be “in the inner circle” with Myrtle. 🙂
2. 📊 We polled the audience, "Are your costs per loan lower, the same, or higher than what the MBA has reported?", and 43% chose "I have no idea," while 43% chose "lower". What was surprising was the amount of people that don’t know their cost per loan. This is an opportunity in those organizations to do this exercise and examine the costs more closely for savings opportunities. 💰
3. 💸 Of total loan production expenses (Commissions, Compensation, Occupancy, Equipment, Other production expenses and corporate allocations), commissions and compensation were by far the biggest line item, but they are a necessary expense. You need your sales team to generate revenue!
4. 🤝 There are certain technology providers that can reduce certain costs that are rising at unreasonably high rates, such as credit and verifications. Truv is saving 80% cost over the incumbent verification provider, and it was great to hear our client, Kevin from PRMG, share the value they are getting from working with us.

Are your clients wondering if they can still buy a home with bad credit?
In celebration of National Mortgage Professionals' Month this September, we're excited to partner with the team at Outline Financial. Their tailored mortgage solutions and comprehensive insurance options help ensure clients secure the best financing for their situation.
In this video, Outline Financial breaks down the critical role credit scores play in the home-buying process. Lenders typically assess six key areas on credit reports:

👉 Inquiry History
👉 Credit Score

Ok, so the process for crunching data is the same, whether you are a buyer’s agent, mortgage broker or an everyday investor.
It is the same at least if you are following our Mastermind HTAG Methodology.
Well, it is the same for those who want to crunch like the top 1%.
If you are a buyer’s agent:
You want to be sure you have not bought in dud areas an in doing so increase the number of referrals you receive
If you are an investor:
You want to build your portfolio fast and secure your financial future
If you are a mortgage broker:
You want to provide guidance to your clients and ensure the continuity of your loan book by providing more than other brokers
Intentions and results are different, however, the fundamental process is one and the same!
--> Whoever you are, reach out before the team goes through another round of price increases on the 12th.

Ever wonder how much you and your partner can save with just a little teamwork?
If you both save $105 a week, here’s what you could have:
✨ 6 months: $5,474
✨ 1 year: $10,920
✨ 3 years: $32,760
That’s enough to get you into a $600K home!
BTW,
Here’s how I came up with the numbers 👇
-> For 6 months, I used the average of 4.345 weeks per month:
6×4.345=26.07 weeks, 210×26.07≈ $5474.7
-> For 1 year, I used exactly 52 weeks: 210×52= $10920
-> For 3 years, I multiplied 52 weeks by 3: 210×156= $32760

Owner of Solflow Consulting
Scaling Loan Officers, Brokers, and Originators
👇My clients close an additional 10 loans within 90 days of working with me.
There are two mortgage brokers. One frequently shares their “entrepreneurial success” on social media while making $4k a month in sales.
The other puts their head down, owns multiple rentals in multiple states, and makes $300k a month.
The difference? A realistic and actionable growth strategy.
It's not enough to simply wish for success in business. You need to plan and execute.
I didn’t transition from cold-calling and door-knocking businesses by hoping for the best.
I made a plan to get my first client and acted on it with an actionable step by step plan.
As we approach the end of the financial year, it's time to start planning for the next 12 months. Our team is ready to help you.
- Generate more mortgage leads that are ACTUALLY QUALIFIED
- Doubling your revenue in the span of 3 months
- Climbing the ranks in your industry
