Surprise Surprise! I joined a company I thought I would never join, Rocket Mortgage. The biggest mortgage lender on the planet. I was not looking to leave and was happy. Why? First Rocket is everything I thought it was not. I never take recruiting calls but Rocket was the only one that never reached out and they did and I was more curious and intrigued to find out what was happening. I have been selling against Rocket/Quicken my entire career because it was easy. There was no accountability to agents locally, they were not local' Call Center in Detroit" and were not available after hours etc. Mostly a defense mechanism to take that opportunity away. That has all changed. Rocket created The Rocket Local Team. Loan Officers and Leadership to serve their local community based on partnerships and relationships. As soon as Rocket shared their vision and goals to grow already the largest lender to something bigger and better, they had my attention. The people and culture at Rocket are first class! The value that we at Rocket provide is significant to clients and agents. Here are just a few.
1. All Conventional, FHA and VA Purchase loans receive a 1% off the interest rate for the first year on a 30 Year fixed loan for Primary and vacation homes. No we do not raise our rates to give this incentive, I checked. This is a significant savings in the current market and is subsidized by Rocket. I locked a loan yesterday and the saving on interest the first year was over $4k.
2. We do a full underwritten approval up front so when it's time to make an offer we send the commitment letter with the offer. This raises the chances of accepting an offer against cash and multiple offers. We can close our loans fast especially with doing this upfont for example, if needed in 2 weeks or less. I closed a $1million loan from start to closing in 9 days.
3. Free Credit Upgrade Team. We have our own team at Rocket that helps borrowers that do not qualify currently and puts them on a plan to get them to qualify in the future. It gets better, that same team will help get scores raised on loans that do qualify to get them to the next better pricing tiers, so they receive better rates and programs. For example, 705 credit and our team helps raise them to 740 which gives the buyer a better rate than if we did nothing. This is value.
Realtors, I would love an opportunity to share much more about why we should partner in some capacity and how we can add value to help you win bigger in your business. I respect your current relationships and friendships with your partners.
Lenders, be curious and take a peek into the vision and goals of Rocket Local. You would be shocked about our pricing in the Rocket Local Group. There are minimum production standards to qualify. Yes, the comp and benefits will surprise you in a good way.
Be curious just to know what the big plan is. Your conversation will be private. We are not here to sell or convince you. We are only looking for people that see the value. This is absolutely not for everyone. If you made it this far you should at least reach out. LOL
