    Broker Power-Up Podcast: Episode 66

    Episode 66: Controlling the Conversation Hosted by Jonathon Haddad, AIME’s Chairman & CEO, alongside Tommy Golightly, AIME’s Marketing Manager. In this episode, Jonathon and Tommy break down advanced sales techniques for taking control of conversations with clients, agents, and team members. Jonathon shares a six step framework that moves beyond basic objection handling and into true conversation leadership. Broker Buzz – The best tools for seamless team communication, including Slack and Roam, and how to set up channels that reduce noise and prevent burnout. – The good, the bad, and the ugly of working with a coach, and why execution matters more than the content. – How to build relationships with listing agents using Monday check-ins and Friday closeouts that show organization and professionalism. Sales Training | Six Steps to Control Any Conversation  Early in his career, Jonathon would chase every objection and get defensive the moment a client pushed back. Over time, he developed a six step framework that changed everything. The full breakdown is in the episode, but the core philosophy is simple. Stop chasing the first objection, learn to reframe instead. Give clients lanes rather than letting them dictate every direction. Do not be afraid to recommend a path forward, even if it is not what the client initially asked for. And always end with a clear next step, never a vague “let me know what you think.” The goal is not to win an argument. The goal is to lead the client to the best decision for their family. Story Time | Follow the Path of Gratitude  Jonathon reflects on how pausing to appreciate what he has always shifts his mindset, even when life gets chaotic. Tommy shares that he has replaced quick “thanks” responses with “I appreciate you,” a small change that deepens every interaction. It’s a nice reminder that gratitude isn’t a feeling, but a practice.

    Broker Power-Up Podcast: Episode 65

    Episode 65: Leading the Conversation with Confidence Hosted by Jonathon Haddad, AIME’s Chairman & CEO, alongside Tommy Golightly, AIME’s Marketing Manager. In this episode, Jonathon and Tommy share practical strategies for taking control of sales conversations without being aggressive or rude. Drawing from lessons learned in his grandmother’s home, Jonathon explains how to be direct, kind, and effective all at once. Broker Buzz – Whether a property inspection report can be transferred like an appraisal, and what happens when Freddie Mac’s AUS findings change. – How to handle a borrower with past financial crime convictions, including when to call the lender directly and when to walk away. – The right way to qualify restaurant income with tips, including separating tips as commission income and using year end pay stubs. Sales Training | Five Steps to Lead Any Conversation  Jonathon shares five steps for taking control of sales conversations while keeping the client feeling heard. First, lead with confidence. Start with questions like “What matters most to you and what would make this a win for your family?” Second, ask better questions that cannot be answered with yes or no. Third, tell the truth early, but without an “I told you so” attitude. Fourth, stop chasing people who are not serious. If a client will not commit after you solve their problem, they are not a priority. Fifth, be okay with silence. Hit mute, wait, and let the client think. The person who speaks first after a tough question often loses the leverage. Tommy adds that the best sales conversations are like a ‘choose your own adventure’ novel. The client/reader makes the choices, but you are the author who sets the paths. Story Time | June Is Filled with Laughter and Fun Months ago, a fortune cookie promised that June would bring laughter and fun. Jonathon and Tommy set a calendar reminder to check back. Now, Jonathon is in Las Vegas for his wife’s birthday, and Tommy is preparing for a beach trip with family. The cookie was right. The message is simple. Plan the fun, mark the calendar, and let yourself enjoy it when it arrives.

    Episode 250 Host: Marc Summers (AIME’s Founding President) Guest: Tanner Mulvihill (Owner and Senior Loan Officer of Bayfield Home Loans) This week’s milestone 250th episode features Tanner Mulvihill, a former United States Marine turned mortgage broker who has spent over two decades perfecting the art of the bold move. Tanner shares his three stage blueprint for loan officers: how to survive and thrive as a new LO, how to lock in systems and past client relationships in the middle years, and how a bold relocation can breathe new life into a veteran’s career. Key Takeaways: The ninety day grind: open houses, Facebook videos, and thank you cards for new loan officers. Why sending a thank you card every time you pull credit can save deals and build loyalty. The pizza strategy: how one loan for a military unit turned into forty closed transactions. Moving to a new market as a veteran loan officer to reset relationships and find new opportunities. Golden Nugget: “If you don’t have the gift of rolling out of bed and getting a two million dollar deal, you need to grind.

    Broker Power-Up Podcast: Episode 64

    Episode 64: How & When to Fire Your Real Estate Agent Hosted by Jonathon Haddad, AIME’s Chairman & CEO, alongside Tommy Golightly, AIME’s Marketing Manager. In this episode, Jonathon and Tommy discuss a difficult but necessary skill for any loan officer: knowing when a partnership is doing more harm than good and how to end it professionally. Broker Buzz – The latest AI compliance guidance from Fannie Mae, including the eight things every broker must do regarding governance, documentation, accountability, and oversight. – Financing options for a borrower with a 600 FICO, who needs cash out of an investment property for repairs. – How to document foster care income for a mortgage, including the letter from the state and the twelve to twenty four month history requirements. Sales Training | How to Break Up with a Bad Agent  Not every relationship is worth saving. Jonathon shares a four step framework for professionally ending a partnership with a real estate agent who only calls with fires, blames you for everything, and never sends referrals. Step one, decide before the call that you are communicating a decision, not negotiating. Step two, be direct and professional. Start with “We are about to have an uncomfortable conversation.” Step three, give a clear reason without over explaining. Step four, do not take the bait. Keep it simple and walk away with clarity, not conflict. Ask yourself one question before you keep trying to save a bad relationship. Am I fighting for this because it is valuable or because I do not want to admit I let it go on too long? Story Time | September Surprises  The fortune cookie this week looks ahead to September as a month of unexpected surprises and opportunities. Jonathon connects it to Fuse, his kids’ birthdays, and the natural rhythm of conference season. Tommy shares plans for a birthday trip to Austin to reconnect with old friends.

    Broker Power-Up Podcast: Episode 63

    Episode 63: Proactive vs. Reactive Sales Hosted by Jonathon Haddad, AIME’s Chairman & CEO, alongside Tommy Golightly, AIME’s Marketing Manager. In this episode, Jonathon and Tommy explore the fundamental difference between loan officers who consistently close deals and those who watch opportunities slip away. The gap is not talent or luck. It is preparation. Broker Buzz – Whether a husband who is a realtor can use his three percent commission as a gift for his wife’s cash to close, and what documentation is required. – How to handle income from a salaried attorney who just became a law firm partner and now receives K-1 distributions instead of a W-2. – The best apps for productivity and organization, including how Jonathon uses ChatGPT to manage everything from loans to Bible study to his kids’ school. Sales Training | Ten Minutes of Preparation Changes Everything  Have you ever lost a deal to another loan officer and blamed the client? Jonathon has been there too. The truth is you dropped the ball somewhere. The reactive salesperson calls with no intention, no notes, and no memory of the client’s story. The proactive salesperson does ten minutes of recon before picking up the phone. They check social media. They review past conversations. They know about the second child, the credit card debt, the specific pain points. Then the call sounds completely different. “I noticed something that could free up cash flow for your growing family. Can I run it by you?” That client feels seen. That client stays on the line. Sales is preparation, not personality. Record your calls, take notes, and stop dialing without a purpose. Story Time | Educational Journeys and Unexpected Twists  The fortune cookie this week lands with perfect timing. Jonathon shares that he enrolled in college on his grandmother’s birthday, fulfilling a promise he made to her years ago when she told him to take a chance on mortgages. Fifteen years later, he is turning in assignments and embracing the unexpected twists of his own educational journey. Tommy adds that his path from interactive design to web development to marketing director to AIM proves that the best journeys are rarely straight lines.
