“And so you’ve got to diversify during these hard markets, and again, you’ve got to make sure that when you’re making money, you’re saving that money because you never know when the market’s going to go down again.”
How AIME is helping brokers get ahead
A long-time member of the Association of Independent Mortgage Experts (AIME), Mayo highlighted the role that association has played in helping its members meet challenges and provide guidance and support where needed.
That’s especially relevant when it comes to lender connections and ensuring as strong a relationship with the lender community as possible, she said.
“There’s so many things to like about AIME, but [one is that] they help you with your lenders,” she said. “If you’ve got some sort of an emergency and you need some help there, they’re always there to help talk to the people they’ve got access to that we possibly don’t.
“They’re always good for finding good, solid lender partners that we can partner with when we’re looking for different types of loan products and then of course, they’re always offering some sort of AIME benefit, partnering with other companies and businesses that make our lives a lot easier in the broker world.”
