Every brokerage eventually asks the same question: stay a broker or build out into a full IMB. Non-Delegated Correspondent is the option that usually gets skipped over in that conversation, a way to gain more control without walking away from the relationship already in place.
It runs alongside Wholesale, not instead of it. Broker-level pricing stays the same. What changes is how much say a brokerage has once a file is submitted, particularly when a closer relationship with the investor makes a real difference.
None of this requires rebuilding the business. A PRMG brokerage can be approved for both Wholesale and Non-Delegated at the same time, so exploring the model is additive, not a leap.
Worth understanding even for a brokerage that never plans to lean on it heavily. Knowing the option exists, and how it works, is its own advantage.
