As a mortgage agent, your income potential is directly tied to the number of mortgages you close. But what if there was a way to double your earnings without doubling your workload? At DLC Mortgage Excellence (DLCME), we’ve developed a model that helps mortgage brokers maximize their commission earnings by leveraging team support, exclusive deals, and top-notch services that streamline processes. Let’s dive into how we help our brokers close more deals, make more money, and enjoy a healthier work-life balance.

Why Our Brokers Are Crushing It

The average mortgage agent at DLCME closes 56 files per year, far exceeding the industry average. But what’s even more impressive? Our top producers are funding over 200 mortgages annually—numbers that are rarely seen in the mortgage industry. So, how is this possible?

It all comes down to the power of teamwork and cohesive systems. At DLCME, we work together to maximize performance and efficiency. With our dedicated underwriting team, admin support, account managers, and in-house marketing team, brokers can focus on what they do best—serving clients and closing deals—while the rest of the heavy lifting is taken care of.

This collaborative approach allows our agents to serve more clients each week than any of our competitors, banks, or other brokers in the industry. With all the administrative work and paperwork handled, brokers can operate at peak performance without sacrificing the quality of their client service.

The Secret to Higher Earnings: Rate Specials & Extra Bonuses

As a top-producing office, DLCME qualifies for rate specials, income promotions, and bonus pay that many brokerages can’t even dream of. This exclusive access to deals means that not only do our agents make more money per mortgage funded, but they also close more mortgages annually than the industry average.

For brokers, that translates to bigger commissions on every deal. By partnering with DLCME, agents get access to these unique opportunities, allowing them to grow their earnings faster than they could on their own.

The Cost of High Earnings: Why Higher Commission Splits Are Worth It

Now, here’s the question: What’s the catch? At DLCME, there isn’t one. But here’s the reality: we are the “Rolls-Royce” of mortgage brokerages, and as such, our commission splits are higher than the industry average. You might look at the numbers on paper and think that it’s more expensive to work with us than with other brokerages. And you’re right—our commission split is higher. But here’s why:

At DLCME, we don’t just give you a platform and send you off to handle everything yourself. We provide a team of experts working alongside you: an underwriting team, an admin team, an account management team, and an in-house marketing team. These professionals handle the tasks that can slow you down—like underwriting, document collection, lead management, and marketing. With this level of support, you can focus on what you’re good at: closing deals and servicing clients.

The higher commission split comes with a cost, yes. But the increased support and efficiency more than make up for it. In fact, every time we run the numbers, the added income from closing more deals and accessing higher commissions outweighs the increased split. You’re no longer operating as an individual on a fixed income; you’re running a business. As a business owner, the more resources you have to help you scale, the more your revenue will grow.

The Power of Support: Scaling Your Business

By joining DLCME, you’re not just signing up for a brokerage; you’re gaining the benefits of a highly skilled support team that will help you scale your business. Our agents enjoy more time freedom and higher income potential because they aren’t bogged down by the day-to-day tasks that slow down independent brokers. You’ll have more deals closing, more clients being served, and a smoother, more profitable operation.

Our agents close more mortgages per year than the industry average because they aren’t handling every detail themselves. Instead, they can leverage the power of our back-end services to work smarter, not harder. It’s this combination of increased support and higher earning potential that helps DLCME brokers achieve top-dollar results.

Why Choose DLCME?

So why choose DLCME, even if it comes with a higher commission split? Simple: because you’re not just an individual working on commission anymore. You’re running a business, and as any savvy business owner knows, investing in the right tools and support will pay off in the long run.

By partnering with us, you get access to systems and services that allow you to scale your business and earn more while working fewer hours. Our model isn’t about working harder—it’s about working smarter and providing you with the resources you need to maximize your earning potential without burning out.

In conclusion, DLCME offers a unique opportunity for mortgage brokers who want to maximize their income without overworking. With our team of experts, exclusive deals, and comprehensive support, we give you everything you need to close more deals, earn more money, and build a business that works for you. The results speak for themselves, and our agents are thriving because of it. Why settle for less when you can have it all?
