Loan officers, this is the kind of move that should make you stop and ask where your company really stands.

I have been with NEXA Lending for over 8 years, since the beginning, and today’s announcement of evoLend is another reason why.
For too long, loan officers have built the relationships, earned the trust, fought through the files, protected the clients, and created the future opportunity, only to have the servicing relationship controlled somewhere else after closing.

That model is broken.

The loan officer should not be cut out of the client relationship after the loan funds.
With evoLend, NEXA is moving toward a model where loan officers have more visibility, more control, and a stronger connection to the clients they worked so hard to earn.
That matters.

Control the relationship.

Protect your book of business.

Stay connected after closing.

Benefit from the long-term value you helped create.

I have been in this industry for over 30 years, and I can tell you plainly: loan officers need to pay close attention to the company they are building their future with.

If your company controls your client after closing, controls the servicing, controls the payoff process, and controls the next opportunity, then you need to ask yourself one question:

Are you building your business, or are you building theirs?

Welcome to evoLend.

Welcome to the evolution of being a loan officer.

USKA California State Karate Championship - Kumite Sparring.
At 61 years old, I showed up ready to compete in the Executive/Silver Black Belt Division. Unfortunately, there was no one available to fight in my division, so I was placed in the Men’s 18+ Open Black Belt Division.
My first fight was against a 24 year old Black Belt from CA. My second fight was against a 20 year old Black Belt from Louisiana who has won many world, regional, national, multi-state championships, and is winning another national points championship. Thank God Jessie McCullough Ill is a extremely respectful young man as well as phenomenal martial artist, because I trusted his control.
I am proud that at 61 years old, I stepped into the Open Division and fought athletes who were 37 and 41 years younger than me. That takes conditioning (should be better. Hey, I'm working on it, lol), discipline, experience, trust, heart, a little bit of luck, and a whole lotta stupidity.
I did not show up looking for an easy division, and I did it. I showed up to compete and I earned that 3rd place finish.

After the USKA CA State Karate Championships, a beach trip was non-negotiable! 🌊
Took the girls, Scarlett Redmond and her friend Natalie Guerin, to La Jolla to try surfing for the first time. They both picked it up impressively fast, and there was no shortage of big waves to put them to the test! 🏄‍♀️☀️

I could not be more proud of my daughter Scarlett! 🎉

This girl just finished her sophomore year with straight A's, earned a varsity letter in soccer and played JV as well as a leader in dance. To say she had a great year would be an understatement.

Scarlett, what you accomplished this year did not happen by chance. It happened because of your dedication, your discipline, and your willingness to give everything you had both in the classroom and on the field. You showed up every single day and gave your very best, and it shows.

I hope you take a moment to truly let that sink in before anything else. The greatest reward you could ever receive is already yours. You now know what you are capable of when you commit to something, and that is something no gift or trophy could ever give you.

You will remember what you earned. You will remember who you became. And that is worth so much.

So take a deep breath, stand tall, and be proud of yourself. You deserve every bit of it.

Watching you grow into the young woman you are becoming is the greatest privilege of my life. ❤️🌟⚽🥋

I love you more than more!
