In Scott's own words

How I got here

I have been in the mortgage business for 25 years, with a background in marketing and finance and an MBA in leadership. I spent 10 to 15 years in direct retail originations, and the last 10 years in leadership, building scalable operations and branch models designed to hold up as growth outpaces operational support.

What borrowers should expect

Specific milestone updates paired with phone calls at key points in the transaction, so you are informed before you have to ask.

What agents should expect

Once an agent hands off a transaction, we keep them updated at key milestones and flag concerns ahead of time, so any change can be handled with everyone informed. Our goal is to close in about three weeks. That is a goal and not a guarantee, because every file is different, but when we hit it, it frees up roughly a week a month an agent would otherwise spend shepherding a longer escrow, and over a year that time goes back into writing business.

What I own day to day

Operations, compliance, systems and software. I am not involved in day-to-day sales. My role is making sure the business model is built to scale rather than break, and stays compliant, as we grow our loan officer and agent base.
