LOAN OFFICERS: Tech Mortgage Brokerage Offers a 100% Compensation Plan
In the ever-evolving landscape of the real estate industry, seismic shifts are reshaping the dynamics of home financing. The winds of change blow through the collective consciousness of Loan Officers as interest rates, once comfortably nestled at historic lows, have taken an upward trajectory. While whispers of a potential rate decrease loom on the horizon, industry pundits caution against holding out hope for the return of the elusive 2% and 3% interest rates that defined a bygone era. This shift has generated palpable anticipation and pent-up demand among prospective homebuyers, eager to capitalize on the anticipated rate drop.
The impact of these fluctuations is evident in the realm of loan applications, where a discernible decrease has been noted. Loan Officers find themselves navigating a slower-paced industry, closing fewer transactions than they did just 24 months ago. The confluence of higher interest rates, subdued demand, and a dip in revenue creates a challenging environment for these professionals. As a result, many Loan Officers across the nation are now seeking refuge in alternative brokerage models that promise greater financial stability. In response to this changing landscape, a technology-driven brokerage has emerged, offering a flat fee Loan Officer compensation plan tailored to usher in a new era of mortgage lending. This innovative approach empowers Loan Officers to reclaim control of their revenue streams, providing a compelling solution for those navigating the turbulent waters of the contemporary real estate market.
MORTGAGE BANKER vs. MORTGAGE BROKER
In the intricate landscape of mortgage financing, the roles of Mortgage Bankers and Mortgage Brokers are distinctive yet often confused. Mortgage Brokers function as intermediaries who scour the market on behalf of borrowers, seeking the most favorable mortgage deals based on their financial profiles. Acting as liaisons between borrowers and lenders, Brokers do not lend money themselves, nor do they have the authority to approve loan applications. Instead, they gather essential information about the borrower’s income, financial obligations, and credit score, using this data to identify suitable loan options and connect borrowers with lenders. It’s important to note that both individuals and companies assuming this role are commonly referred to as Mortgage Brokers, adding a layer of complexity to the terminology.
On the other hand, Mortgage Bankers play a more comprehensive role in the lending process. Mortgage Bankers take charge of the entire loan application process — from receiving the application to underwriting, approval, and guiding borrowers through the closing phase. Unlike Mortgage Brokers, Mortgage Bankers have the capability to lend money directly or secure funds from a bank.
This distinction is not about declaring one as superior to the other; instead, it’s about understanding the basic differences between being a Banker versus a Brokerage. Both having pros and cons, the objective is to address the evolving needs of Loan Officers with entrepreneurial aspirations who seek greater control over their financial destinies within the dynamic field of lending.
DESIGNED FOR ENTREPRENEURS
DOSS Home Loans stands apart as a platform meticulously crafted for Loan Officers driven by an entrepreneurial spirit. Distinct from the traditional mortgage banker model, DOSS Home Loans is a brand tailored for those who crave more control, financial stability, and opportunities to shatter their own glass ceilings in the competitive lending landscape. Recognizing the importance of empowering our Loan Officers, DOSS Home Loans operates on thin margins, allowing them to maximize their earnings. To support their endeavors, each Loan Officer pays a modest $95 monthly membership fee, which covers essential tools such as the Loan Origination System (LOS) and a personalized company website for seamless digital transactions, including the electronic collection of documents from borrowers. Additionally, our Loan Officers manage their credit report accounts, granting them the flexibility to either have borrowers cover their own credit report expenses or opt to pay it themselves. This innovative approach has proven to be a game-changer, with DOSS Home Loans, Loan Officers consistently reporting significantly increased earnings compared to their experiences elsewhere.
HOW DOES THE FLAT FEE WORK?
In a departure from the traditional compensation model based on basis points (bps), a flat fee structure is revolutionizing how Loan Officers are remunerated in the mortgage industry. Historically, Loan Officers have grappled with meager earnings, receiving only a fraction of the total transaction value due to deductions for health benefits, taxes, and various other expenses. Most Mortgage Bankers typically offer compensation in the range of 100 bps to 150 bps, leaving Loan Officers with a relatively modest payout after factoring in these deductions. This lower compensation is often attributed to the additional costs Mortgage Bankers bear, including loan officer draws, credit report expenses, and other various overhead expenses.
Enter DOSS Home Loans, a forward-thinking Mortgage Brokerage challenging the status quo. At DOSS Home Loans, Loan Officers receive their entire check with minimal deductions. The innovative flat fee compensation model subtracts only $995 and a $45 Errors and Omissions (E&O) insurance fee, totaling $1,040 payable to DOSS Home Loans. The remainder of the earnings belongs to the Loan Officer, free from hidden fees or deceptive practices. This transparent approach ensures loan officers can fully capitalize on their efforts without the financial constraints imposed by conventional compensation structures. As a testament to their commitment to empowering Loan Officers, DOSS has also implemented a $25,000 cap, an unprecedented move in the lending industry that further enhances the financial well-being of their dedicated professionals.
Example:
$8,000 Gross Check
-$1,040 to DOSS Home Loans
$6,960 to DOSS Loan Officer
INTRODUCING A $25,000 CAP!
At DOSS Home Loans, we go above and beyond in our commitment to empower our Loan Officers, and one significant way we do this is by implementing a $25,000 cap. This cap ensures that our Loan Officers are in control of their finances, allowing them to thrive in an entrepreneurial spirit. With the cap structure, a DOSS loan officer pays only $25,000 to DOSS Home Loans for the entire year. Once their cumulative deductions, including the $995 flat fee, reach this cap, the Loan Officer achieves a cap status. Following this milestone, they incur only a nominal fee of $250 per transaction for the remainder of the year, and this fee now includes the Errors and Omissions (E&O) insurance.
The cap resets at the beginning of each calendar year, commencing on January 1st and concluding on December 31st. Many of our dedicated Loan Officers find themselves reaching the $25,000 cap well before the midpoint of the year, unlocking the full potential of their earnings for the remainder of the annual cycle. This innovative approach not only enhances the financial well-being of our Loan Officers but also underscores our commitment to fostering an environment where their entrepreneurial aspirations can flourish.
Example:
$8,000 Gross Check
-$250 to DOSS Home Loans
$7,750 to DOSS Loan Officer*
*Amount to DOSS Loan Officer after they reach their cap.
