Letter From AIME Leadership 7-10-23

Hello Fellow Brokers,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. As we approach National Mortgage Brokers Day (NMBD) on July 18th, I wanted to reach out to you, our esteemed members, to provide important updates, rally support for our channel, and reinforce the significance of growth in the wholesale mortgage industry.

First and foremost, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your continued commitment and dedication to the AIME. Together, our community has achieved significant milestones and has made great strides in advocating for the wholesale mortgage broker channel. Your passion and drive have contributed to the growth and success of our industry, and we cannot thank you enough.

National Mortgage Brokers Day is a special occasion for us to come together as a community and celebrate the tremendous value we bring to the mortgage industry. It serves as a reminder of our collective strength and the vital role we play in empowering consumers to achieve their homeownership dreams. This year, we have the opportunity to make an even greater impact by showcasing our unity and commitment to excellence.

Growth lies at the heart of our mission as wholesale mortgage brokers. It is essential for us to continually expand our reach, deepen our relationships, and increase our influence in the market. As the channel experiences unprecedented changes and challenges, our ability to adapt and grow will be paramount to our long-term success.

By focusing on growth, we not only enhance our individual businesses but also fortify the wholesale mortgage broker channel as a whole. Through collective growth, we demonstrate our ability to compete with other channels, attract new industry partners, and maintain our position as a powerful force in the mortgage industry.

On National Mortgage Brokers Day, let us unite and celebrate our achievements while reaffirming our commitment to growth. Here are a few reasons why our collective growth is crucial:

• 1. Strength in Numbers: As we expand our ranks, we strengthen our collective voice, making it harder for others to ignore our impact and the unique value we bring to the market.
• 2. Enhanced Advocacy: A larger, more diverse membership base enables us to advocate more effectively for policy changes, regulatory improvements, and industry support that benefit all wholesale mortgage brokers.
• 3. Increased Networking Opportunities: Growth brings new faces and fresh perspectives to our community, fostering greater collaboration, idea-sharing, and professional development opportunities.
• 4. Improved Market Position: By demonstrating consistent growth, we establish ourselves as a preferred channel for borrowers, lenders, and industry stakeholders, opening doors to new business opportunities.

As we strive for success, let us not lose sight of the invaluable network and support system that AIME provides. We are bound by a shared passion for the wholesale mortgage broker channel, and it is through our collective efforts that we can elevate the entire industry.

Moreover, we encourage you to consider a proactive approach to growth by exploring new avenues for talent acquisition. While our channel has traditionally relied on organic growth and referrals, there is significant untapped potential in recruiting talented individuals from the retail channel. By inviting them to join our community, we not only strengthen our own businesses but also offer them a supportive environment that fosters professional growth and collaboration.

On National Mortgage Brokers Day, we urge you to actively participate in the festivities and take advantage of the numerous opportunities for engagement. Share your success stories, celebrate your achievements, and spread the word about the value of the wholesale mortgage broker channel. And, encourage your network to donate to the Broker Action Coalition (BAC) to continue the fight for the broker channel: Donate Here

Lastly, we invite you to leverage the resources and support available to you through AIME. Our team is here to assist you in your growth endeavors, provide guidance, and connect you with valuable industry partners. Together, we can shape the future of the wholesale mortgage broker channel and continue to thrive in an ever-changing landscape.
