    Bank to Retail LO: The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything

    Send us a text In this episode of The Closing Time Podcast, we sit down with a Loan Originator who made the leap from the traditional banking world to the fast-moving retail lending side — and found a completely new level of freedom, ownership, and opportunity. We break down what really changes when you move from a bank environment to a retail platform:  • The mindset shift required • The learning curve of building a business instead of taking whatever walks into a branch • The surprises—both good and bad—when you lose a steady pipeline and have to create your own • The wins that come from having real tools, real support, and real control • How communication, culture, and speed make or break a retail LO’s success You’ll hear about the challenges of starting over, what it takes to build confidence as a self-generated Loan Officer, and why the retail side isn’t just different—it’s a completely new career if you’re willing to work. Whether you're a loan officer thinking about making the jump, a leader trying to recruit, or someone who just wants to understand how the business really works behind the scenes, this episode is full of value, perspective, and honest conversation.
