55: 100x Your Mortgage Business with Rocket's Bekim Merdita


Listen Later

In this episode, we're joined by Bekim Merdita. Bekim is the EVP and a Founding Team Member of Rocket Mortgage Canada from Windsor, Ontario, which originally launched as Edison Financial in 2020. Edison Financial rebranded to Rocket Mortgage Canada on August 8, 2022, doing business under the brand Rocket Mortgage™️ throughout the country. In 2023, Rocket Mortgage Canada also became a mortgage lender and created Rocket Pro Canada, a team dedicated to helping broker partners submit deals to the Rocket Mortgage Canada lending channel.

 

In this episode we cover:

→ Bekim's journey within Rocket Mortgage in both the US and Canada, his goal of going from a 4 to 400 person team, and the mindset needed to 100x your business.
→ What he's learned launching a mortgage lender and Rocket Pro, the importance of speed in mortgage approvals, and attempting to eliminate the emotional rollercoaster of home buying with client certainty.
→ Why Canada is behind the US in mortgage tech, why lenders aren't as flexible as brokers in their tech stack, and what's being done to address the gaps of the inefficient manual mortgage process.
