Often, brokers put a lot of effort into being friendly and likeable. And while likability is important, many brokers actually make the mistake of trying to be too nice. Some customers might respond positively to this, but it ultimately doesn’t help their mortgage business as a whole.

In this episode of Mortgage Broker Acceleration, James Veigli and Ash Playsted address misguided ideas about niceness. They do not claim, however, that brokers should be rude or difficult to work with. Rather, they argue that brokers should focus on establishing their authority, expertise, and experience. Tune in to discover how to rethink your conversations and engagements with your clients.
