Commission‑Only Loan Officer (Retail → Wholesale Conversion Role) 🚀

You’re a producing Retail Loan Officer who:

• is tired of caps, layers, and corporate math
• knows you’re doing the work but not keeping the upside
• wants real control over comp, products, and partners
• is done explaining why a deal died because “the box said no”

If you’re comfortable being micromanaged, this is not for you.

The Opportunity

Join a true wholesale brokerage model where:

• you control your pipeline
• you choose the lenders
• you keep more of what you earn
• you operate like a business owner, not a branch employee

This isn’t a “hang your license and hope” shop. It’s a retail‑to‑wholesale conversion system built for LOs who already know how to produce.

What Changes When You Go Wholesale

Let’s be blunt.

🔻 What You Lose

• Corporate bureaucracy
• Artificial rate padding
• Mandatory products you don’t believe in
• Managers who’ve never closed your type of deals

🔺 What You Gain

• Higher comp per loan (no hidden layers)
• More lender options (not just the house favorites)
• Faster problem‑solving (direct to AE, not ticket systems)
• Freedom to niche down (jumbo, self‑employed, DSCR, luxury, etc.)

What We Provide (So You Don’t Fail)

Retail LOs don’t fail in wholesale because of talent. They fail because no one shows them how to transition.

We do.

• Retail‑to‑Wholesale Conversion Playbook
• Lender setup + product positioning
• Comp optimization (without killing referrals)
• Scenario structuring & deal‑rescue support
• CRM + workflow guidance (no duct‑tape systems)
• Realtor retention strategy during the transition

You won’t be “figuring it out on YouTube.”

What You’re Responsible For

Let’s be clear:

• Bringing your relationships
• Owning your outcomes
• Acting like an adult professional

This is not a draw. This is not a salary. This is not a place to hide.

Who Should NOT Apply

• New licensees
• Order‑takers who need constant direction
• LOs afraid of transparency
• Anyone uncomfortable with performance‑based income

Who SHOULD Apply

• Retail LOs closing $12M+ annually
• Producers frustrated with comp compression
• Professionals ready to operate like owners
• LOs who want leverage, not logos
