Hey there, Rainmakers!
In this episode I sat down with my former LOA turned powerhouse loan officer Amanda Rea, and together we unpacked a decade of grit, growth, and radical consistency. Amanda started working for me at $15/hour back in 2012 — and now she’s crossed $4 million in personal net worth, over $679 million in closed volume, and built a retention machine most Loan Officer’s only dream about.
But this isn’t just about numbers. It’s about mindset, discipline, and refusing to buy into excuses. Amanda was introverted, terrified of sales, and never imagined she’d thrive in this business — and yet she’s become one of the most dependable, productive, and profitable leaders in our industry. No fluff. Just the systems, perspective, and strategy that changed her life.
Whether you're brand new or 15 years in, you need this one in your ears.
What we talked about:
✨ Why Amanda said “yes” to the job everyone told her to turn down
✨ How she went from assistant to $100M+ loan producer
✨ Her “theme day” structure that keeps her pipeline alive
✨ What truly builds client trust and long-term retention
✨ Why she says this job isn’t “hard” — and what is
✨ Her bold 10x vision (and how she’s reverse engineering it)
