698: Help, I Need to Hire an Underwriter! - Coaching Q&A Ep. 5

from I Love Mortgage Brokering · host I Love Mortgage Brokering

How do you know when it’s actually time to hire an underwriter… and not just push harder?   In this Episode 5 of the Coaching Q&A, we tackle one of the biggest scaling questions brokers face: when to hire underwriting support. Hire too early and it hurts cash flow. Hire too late and you become the bottleneck. This episode breaks down how to think about the decision strategically, not emotionally. What We Cover: The Real Hiring Trigger – Why “feeling overwhelmed” isn’t enough. Where You’re the Bottleneck – Identifying the tasks that are capping your volume. How to Structure the Role Properly – Avoiding the mistake of hiring a clone. The Cost of Waiting Too Long – What stalled growth is really costing you. Scaling isn’t about working longer hours. It’s about removing yourself from the work that limits your ceiling.
