We all have our own hyperbolic image and definition of what a Loan Hack would look and sound like. We are obviously having fun here at the expense of anyone who approaches their advisory role in the lives of their clients with selfish or "me first" intent. It's as simple as that.
It's easy to spot a Loan Hack with his/her shifty words and scripty responses - they exist on the opposite side of the relationship spectrum from that of the mindful, purposeful consultant. A Loan Hack can cause a lot of damage over the reckless pursuit of just one commission check. We see the emblems of this all around us – from the client that comes to you for help after being taken for a ride, to the increasing foreclosures due to a lack of proper advising.
What we have learned through our experience is that a rewarding business is predicated on the belief that there IS a better way to do business. It relies on the philosophy that one should strive to be a trusted advisor in the lives of those we touch. Resulting in the truth that if one subscribes to this notion of consultant vs. traditional salesperson or "Loan Hack" - that both you AND your clients will benefit in a number of ways. This way of doing business is initiated the first time one meets a new client, then carried out through the diligence and skill called upon during the entire transaction, and beyond. It removes the human element of Greed from the equation and builds the cornerstone of what will be that consultant's reputation.
We've built our practice around the believe that if we operate our business with a mindful intention of "relationship", and lose the short term disease commonly associated with the anti-wealth condition (also known as "commission breath") - then we will achieve a higher level Professional Significance.
