S10 Ep 416$4 BILLION in Mortgages (Before Age 40) Here's EXACTLY How He Did It

He's closed over $4 billion in mortgage production. He's not yet 40. And there's a good chance you've never heard of him. That changes today. In this power-packed episode, NFM Lending Managing Director Greg Sher steps in to guest host and sits down with one of the most quietly elite loan originators in the country, Oleg Tkach. Born in Ukraine, started in mortgage at 18, and built a $4 billion career without a major social media presence, without cold calling, and without ever chasing business the "old school" way. This is the kind of interview you stop what you're doing to listen to. Twice. Here's what Oleg breaks down in this episode: → The "Agent Programming" strategy — why most LOs are accidentally training their agents NOT to send them business (and how to flip the script) → The #1 conversion killer in your business right now (hint: it has nothing to do with your rate or your product) → Why trying to be an agent's PRIMARY lender may be the biggest mistake you're making — and what to go for instead → The 3-level agent relationship framework: Business Level, Backup Level, and Program Level → Why "the friend zone" is killing your referral pipeline and how to escape it → Oleg's Zoom + PowerPoint presentation strategy that gets agent meetings from anywhere — no drive-bys, no donut runs → How one of his coaching students went from $93 million to on pace for $240 million in one year → The 3-part formula behind "your best year ever" — simple enough to execute, powerful enough to break COVID-era refi numbers with purchases → Impact Elite Coaching's "The LAB" event — April 22–23 in Newport Beach at the Pendry Hotel Learn More About The Lab Event: https://www.impactelitecoaching.com/the-lab Thanks to Greg Sher for guest-hosting the podcast again.

How Loan Officers Are Losing Deals To A $20/Month Chatbot

A borrower you've closed loans for before just photographed your Loan Estimate and dropped it into ChatGPT. The AI told them you're overcharging. You're not. But they believed it anyway — and the deal went somewhere else. This is not a hypothetical. It happened to one of Trevor York's clients last week. And according to a stat dropped in this conversation, 77% of consumers now trust AI as much as a human expert. That number was lower a year ago. It will be higher next year. So here's the real question: when your client runs your deal through a chatbot tonight — and some of them will — is the trust you've built strong enough to survive it? In this episode of Mortgage Marketing Radio, I sit down with Trevor York — loan officer, founder of LinkSpot, and one of the most forward-thinking minds in the mortgage industry — to break down exactly what is happening to loan officers who haven't figured this out yet. And more importantly, what the ones who have figured it out are doing differently. This is not a feel-good conversation. It is a wake-up call.

Why This LO Refuses to Quote a Rate

What if the loan officers who are struggling most to grow their business are asking the wrong question — and one loan officer from Fargo, North Dakota figured out the right one? In this episode, guest host Katie Shive sits down with Kayla Kallander — a top-producing loan officer, LinkedIn powerhouse, and first-time home buyer advocate who's built a referral machine in one of the most overlooked markets in the country. If you think first-time home buyers are too much work for too little payoff, this episode is going to flip that script entirely. Here's what we get into: "Prescription Without Diagnosis Is Malpractice" — Why Kayla refuses to quote a rate before she knows the full picture, and how this one mindset shift positions her as a trusted advisor instead of a commodity. The Realtor "Three Card" Problem — What Kayla says to realtors who still give out multiple lender cards, and the exact script she uses to get exclusive referrals. Social Media Without a Marketing Team — She's active on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok — with just a VA and a Canva account. She breaks down exactly how she does it and why stories are where the real magic happens. Why LinkedIn is the Most Underrated Platform for Loan Officers — How one LinkedIn post led to a group of financial advisors sending her 30% of her annual business — from a state she'd never even worked in. The Real Cost of Rate Shopping — The client who called comparing rates from a Minnesota credit union and what Kayla said that turned it around on the spot. The Magic of First-Time Buyers — Why the clients most loan officers avoid are the ones building Kayla's most loyal referral base. The Viral Carousel Post — How a contrarian Saturday morning post about interest rates triggered more DMs, new followers, and a cross-state referral relationship than anything she'd posted before. Plus — how she's using AI (specifically Claude) with a custom brand book to write content that actually sounds like her, not a robot. Whether you're a veteran loan officer looking to reignite your pipeline or a newer LO trying to figure out where to start, this conversation is loaded with real, repeatable strategies that are working right now. Listen. Take notes. Then go post something.

121 Units. Half the Team. One AI System

What does it actually look like when a top-producing loan officer stops dabbling with AI and fully embeds it into every layer of his mortgage business? In this episode of Mortgage Marketing Radio, guest host Katie Shive sits down with Abdel Khawatmi — Area Manager and founder of Got Mortgages with PRMG — to break down the exact system behind 121 units, $40M in personal production, and 210% net revenue growth year over year. This is not a conversation about generating social media captions with ChatGPT. This is a ground-level look at how a working originator rebuilt his operations, client experience, and team structure around AI — and what that means for every loan officer trying to compete right now. What you'll learn: Why Abdel cut his offshore team from 7 to 3 — and what AI does instead How he uses ChatGPT to calculate Schedule C & E income, build SOPs, and draft compliant letters of explanation Why he’s on the phone with clients MORE since implementing AI — not less The hyperlocal event strategy that his referral partners can't stop talking about His ROI framework: Relevance, Omnipresence & Intimacy The 4-step client experience model that keeps his pipeline full without him being the first touch The one thing he tells every loan officer who asks, "where do I start?" If you are a loan officer grinding in a tough market and wondering how to build a smarter, leaner, more profitable business — this is the episode you have been waiting for.

10 Loans per Month, 30-Hr Work Week. Here's the System

What if 10 loans a month — not 30 — was actually the goal? Sam Abazari has coached over 120 loan officers. His LOs average doubling their business every three months. His top producer closes 30 loans a month. And his branch does $250 million a year. But his argument? The sweet spot is 10 loans a month, one assistant, 25-35 hours a week, and 200-300 bps margin. That's the formula for financial freedom, time freedom, and mental bandwidth — all three at once. In this episode of Mortgage Marketing Radio, Sam fills in for Geoff Zimpfer (who is battling cancer and asked his friends to keep the show going) and delivers a complete, step-by-step operating system for loan officers who want to build a business that works — without working themselves into the ground.

$93M Producer Reveals His Scripting & Referral Playbook

What does it take to close 230 purchase units in your first year as a loan originator? For Andy Beigel, it started with one obsession: practice. While every other LO chased refi money in 2020, Andy was cold-calling realtors on Zoom — building a purchase pipeline from scratch. By year-end, he had 230 units. By 2025, he had $93M in personal production and a $250M branch he built from zero in Columbus, Ohio. In this episode, Andy breaks down: → His word-for-word rate objection rebuttal → The first 30 seconds of every intake call (scripted — every time) → The 2-step realtor conversion process behind his book of business → The "positive feedback loop" secret that lets you delegate without losing agents → What he looks for in recruits (hint: not experience) → How a 22-year-old he hired now closes 125+ units a year. His philosophy: do 100 small things 1% better than everyone else, and you're 100% superior at game time. Special episode: Guest host Greg Sher of NFM Lending pinch-hits for Geoff Zimpfer, who is battling cancer.

Ep 391Rethink Networking: The New Blueprint for Building Authentic Relationships in a Tech-Driven World

<p>In today’s episode of <em>Mortgage Marketing Radio</em>, we’re tossing out the old networking playbook and redefining what real connection looks like in today’s noisy, tech-heavy world. I'm joined by Lindsey Meyer, Jen Peachman, and Philip Mancuso, three of the 25 authors behind the new book <a href="https://a.co/d/9bLIgAn" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Rethink Everything You Know About Networking</em></a>.</p><p>This isn’t about business cards, small talk, or shallow connections. It’s about authenticity, intentionality, and using education and human value as your lead strategy. </p><p>We’ll explore how to create a ripple effect through small, meaningful actions, and why vulnerability is one of the most underrated tools in your business toolkit.</p><h3>🔑 <strong>Three Key Takeaways</strong></h3><ol><li><strong>Intentional networking beats passive presence</strong> – Showing up with purpose and a clear message builds trust faster than any cold pitch.</li><li><strong>Lead with value, not expertise</strong> – You don’t need to be a subject matter expert; you just need to offer useful, relevant insights people care about.</li><li><strong>Vulnerability is a connection multiplier</strong> – When you're willing to share your real story, you invite others into a deeper, more lasting relationship.</li></ol><br/><p><a href="https://a.co/d/9bLIgAn" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Order the Book On Amazon</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindseylouise/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Connect with Lindsey Meyer</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenpeachman/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Connect with Jen Peachman </a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/philip-mancuso-89975636/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Connect with Philip Mancuso</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Want to double your Realtor referrals without chasing, cold-calling, or paying for leads?</strong></p><p><strong>See how Travis Newton grew his production by $40 million!</strong></p><p><a href="https://go.myagentclasses.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Check Out myAgent Classes Here</a></p><p><strong>Connect With Geoff</strong></p><p>📸 <a href="https://www.instagram.com/geoffzimpfer/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Connect on Instagram</a></p><p>💼 <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/geoffzimpfer/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Connect on LinkedIn</a></p><p>📹 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@MortgageMarketingRadio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Subscribe on YouTube</a></p><p><strong>SAY THANKS</strong></p><p>💜 <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mortgage-marketing-radio/id1077458313" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Leave a review on Apple Podcasts</a></p><p>🟢 <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/5vs94UuKvLEvuUli0Vxupx?si=gzgMwj6YSUq37KJEgf9wmw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Leave a rating on Spotify</a></p>

Because of his efficiency with a 🏀. Want to grow your income? Two options you have are... 1) Increase the number of conversations with qualified people. 2) Increase your conversion percentage.

No fluff, no long sales pitch—just a direct message that sparks a conversation. Because all conversion happens in conversation. Ready to try it? Grab your old lead lists, send a message, and watch the responses roll in!
