  Stop Chasing Realtors: Build a Referral Machine That Scales

  Sep 25, 202642 minS10

  Want more Realtor referrals without spending your entire week chasing agents, scheduling coffee meetings, and hoping they send you business? In this episode of Mortgage Marketing Radio, Geoff Zimpfer sits down with mortgage broker Logan Lindstrum to break down the Realtor referral system helping him scale his mortgage business. After stepping away from mortgage for roughly two years, Logan returned, became a broker, and has built his production to 136 units and more than $40 million in year-to-date volume—with roughly 90% of his business coming from Realtors. But Logan isn’t relying on the traditional “find 10 great agents and stay in touch” approach. He’s building a repeatable Realtor acquisition machine using educational workshops, AI and marketing training, cold outreach, paid Meta ads, retargeting, testimonials, livestreaming, and systematic follow-up. In this conversation, you’ll discover: • How Logan uses workshops to attract and convert Realtor referral partners • Why most loan officers are missing the critical step AFTER meeting an agent • How he plans to scale to six Realtor workshops per week • The workshop topics that actually get real estate agents interested • How video testimonials create proof and fuel his advertising • Why Logan teaches AI, marketing, sales, and technology instead of mortgage products • His follow-up process for converting workshop attendees into relationships • Why he eliminated certain loan products to simplify and scale his mortgage business • How to create a business development system that fits your strengths • Why “one-to-many” marketing can create enormous leverage for loan officers Connect with Logan on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/logan.lindstrum/ Get the Free Email Mini-Course: The Agent Class Method https://myagentclasses.com/email-course #MortgageMarketing #LoanOfficer #RealtorReferrals #MortgageBroker #MortgageBusiness

  How Loan Officers Grow in a Tough Market

  Sep 16, 202629 minS10

  What if the toughest mortgage market in years is actually giving you an opportunity to take market share? In this episode, I sit down with Don Goettling, founder of Momentum Builder and a mortgage industry veteran with nearly four decades of experience, to talk about why loan officers who are waiting for the market to get easier may be making a costly mistake. Don and I discuss what separates mortgage professionals who are still growing from those who have pulled back—and why your mindset, environment, systems, relationships and willingness to adapt matter more than ever. We get into: Why waiting for rates or the market to “save you” isn’t a strategy How successful loan officers are using this market to gain share Why getting around other producers who are winning can expand what you believe is possible The role of AI, personal branding and better business systems Why Realtor partnerships are changing The difference between collecting information and actually implementing it Why what you do in Q4 can determine how you begin 2027 We also talk about Momentum Builder 2026, taking place October 6–8 in Dallas, Texas. I attended last year, and I’ll be back again this year. If you’re serious about growing your mortgage business, meeting other people who are winning in this market, and heading into 2027 with momentum instead of starting from scratch in January, check it out. ️ Momentum Builder 2026 | October 6–8 | Dallas, TX Full details and registration: https://www.momentumbuilderevent.com/ Use code ZIMPFER to save $100.

  Work-Life Balance Is a Lie — Here's What Actually Works

  Aug 20, 202652 minS10

  You didn't wake up one day and choose a life you don't recognize. You drifted into it, one compromise at a time. Shawn Mingus spent 20 years teaching this to more than 4,000 people, and his position is blunt: balance is the right word. Work-life is the broken part. Life doesn't have two dimensions. It has eight. In this conversation, Shawn walks through the exercise from his book Reimagining Balance: score all eight by emotion instead of a vague 1-to-10, plot them as a polygon, and look at the shape. Not a circle. A circle would mean you're playing it safe. The goal is an honest shape you can act on. Then the part most people skip — turning that shape into one or two daily actions in the two dimensions that need you most, and re-running the whole thing every 90 days. WHAT YOU'LL GET: - Why "work-life balance" is a false choice — and what replaces it - The eight dimensions of a life, defined (profession is not your job) - How to spot drift before it costs you a marriage, your health, or a decade - Why the goal is aware imbalance, not artificial symmetry - Scoring by emotion — the piece almost every balance framework misses - The "glow effect": why fixing one dimension lifts the other seven - The communication moves that keep your spouse on your side - How often to re-run it (and what happens when you don't) GET THE BOOK + WORKBOOK Go to Reimagining Balance → https://reimaginingbalance.com CONNECT WITH SHAWN LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-mingus-67b2a32/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shawnmingus/ Listen to the episode, then DM Shawn your one big takeaway.

  Episode #427

  The Referral Gap: Why Agents Still See You as a Vendor

  Aug 5, 202632 minS10

  Most loan officers are stuck on the bottom two floors of a pyramid they don't know they're standing on. Floor one is solicitor. Cold calls, coffee invites, "I'd love to learn about your business." Agents have heard it a thousand times and they know what it is. Floor two is vendor. You broke through, you're getting deals, and you're still leading with product and price. DSCR. Self-employed programs. Close on time. Everybody says that, which means it's worth nothing. Between vendor and partner sits what I call the referral gap. This episode is about crossing it. I recently sat down with Rachel on the Lending Leadership podcast and we went deeper than I planned to. We covered the pyramid, the one-to-many method I used to build my own business, why "five mile famous" beats being the best-kept secret in your market, and the three things you actually control when the market gets weird. We also talked about the year I've had. Cancer, three months where I barely spoke, and what it teaches you when the thing you make your living with gets taken away for a while. What you'll take from this one: The four stages of the Realtor Prospecting Pyramid, and where you're actually standing right now The referral gap — why price, products, and turn times can never move you from vendor to partner The one-to-many math: one meeting with 20 agents beats 20 meetings with one agent The exact soft close I use at the end of a class, word for word, that gets agents booking calendar time without a pitch Class topics agents actually want (their problems, not your products) How I turned 10 years and 425 episodes into a free searchable archive in about 12 hours Resources mentioned: Swipe The Vault — 10 years of Mortgage Marketing Radio, searchable by topic, with swipe files and playbooks attached.
