What this episode covers

Lisa Piela, who came to us with rave recommendations from a former guest on our Utah Real Estate Podcast. She is the managing member of the My Mortgage Ladies team at Altius Mortgage in Utah. How Lisa Decided to Join the Real Estate Industry From her start in banking during high school, Lisa jumped into the financing world and never looked back. “This ended up being something that I fell in love with, and the reason I fell in love with this is that I had amazing mentors and leaders.” Appreciating her mentors' time and effort towards her career, Lisa has stayed in this field because of her healthy beginnings for over 30 years. Marketing with My Mortgage Ladies Over the years, she found people introducing her as ‘my mortgage lady.’ “It ended up sticking so much that I used it as a tagline on my signature.” The tagline stuck, and Lisa incorporated her motto into her complete branding package. Why Mentoring is Important “Brokers are at the top of the food chain in financing.” She considers the world as her oyster, as she brings in others from the banking and lending side of finance that is migrating into the broker world. This transition can be overwhelming, and Lisa has found a gap in continuing education in that there weren’t any tools to teach those who wanted to transition into brokering. For the solution, Lisa designed their branch to have mentorship. This involves giving loan officers a complete internship while learning the tools and participating in the training to learn about the world of financing. “We try to make sure that we support them so that they don’t fail or fall. If they do, they have a mentor to reach out to that has the background and experience to help them.” This creates a confident lender who can carry out the process with knowledge and know-how.
