Loan Officer Achieves Life-Changing Growth and Operational Support at MPA Home Loans

Ryan Liebelt (00:00) My experience over at MPA has been great. Top-down management is unbelievable. Everybody's there to help you I'm Ryan Liebelt. I'm a loan officer branch manager ⁓ in Wheat Ridge, Colorado for MPA Home Loans. my journey before joining MPA was my father-in-law brought me into the business. I was working over at Fairway Independent Mortgage, a retail side of things. And it's 10, almost 11 years now that I've been in the business. About a year ago, I joined MPA because I was curious about the broker side and what that offered. And it's just been life-changing. I didn't expect it was going to be this good. And it's totally different than what I'd experienced in the past. it's been a long journey. It's been a lot of fun. And I'm so excited for the future. I just wanted to experience something different and had a few connections over at MPA Home Loans and jumped right in and they took good care of me on the transfer, and getting everything moving on their side of really quick onboarding and getting up to speed. We were able to get some loans going right out of the gate. And it's been a simple, simple solution trying to win with competition out there today. joined MPA because there was a familial background, people that I knew, and I knew that they put together strong systems that we could all thrive in. So that was the biggest thing for me. the biggest thing is we have a huge ops side that I think a lot of brokerages don't have or offer, and they are the most phenomenal group that I've ever worked with in my 11 years of mortgages. the things that stand out for me at MPA with the culture and the leadership is, I feel like there's a lot of people in the mortgage industry that, you have been there for very long time. have thrived in this industry, have been here, they've grown business and things are different now. so I think the youth in our group is what makes us a little bit different and that allows us to be nimble. and keep everything exciting and fresh within the mortgage business. being with MPA has impacted my growth personally as a loan officer because I feel like I have more products, I have more opportunities. You know, at end of the day we always say like it's a game of baseball, you just want as many chances up to bat at the plate as you can get. And I feel like I have more at bats now than I ever had before. and then on the branch manager side, being able to recruit in a unique environment that I think neither broker or retail really have the opportunity to be a part of. We're this weird little niche in the middle and I love it. my future with MPI, I see a lot of growth. I see a lot of opportunity to really bring more people into this business that are excited, fun, youthful, and ready to . And I think just the growth pattern in this company has been so good so far and the leadership is there to support us all. So we're ready and excited to continue forward. the one thing I would tell loan officers about coming over to MPA is there's a youthful organization here, which is so nice to see that from an administration point, just because they are so quick to help everybody. we've got a really strong ops staff that helps every loan officer from start to finish to get their deals done. Because the biggest thing as a loan officer is you want to close loans. You need to close loans. the youth from the leadership side, the ops team to support you along the way. then your ability as a loan officer to just create and grow however you want. putting stop signs in front of you telling you, no, you can't do that, which I've had other experiences with. So I think that'll be a huge leg forward for everybody.
