$1.5 Billion and Counting! Success in a Down Market with Laura Witte
Today Skip and Kayla welcome Laura Witte, a seasoned loan officer and co-owner of Highland Mortgage, to discuss her impressive 25-year career in the mortgage business. As someone that has closed over a billion and a half dollars in loans and is one of the top five producers in Georgia, she knows a thing or two about delivering for homebuyers.
Laura describes 2023 as the hardest year of her career, even harder than the market crash, but emphasizes the importance of mindset, decision-making, and hustle in overcoming adversity. Skip, Kayla and Laura discuss adapting to the tough market by focusing on educating clients and agents through classes and advice on navigating through high rates and market instability. They also talk about finding success by being problem solvers and going above and beyond to find solutions for clients.
Recruitment Strategies That Balance Company and Talent NeedsToday's show comes full circle. Skip welcomes back his very first guest Steve Barsby, Assistant Athletics Director and Head Tennis Coach at Georgia College and State University, to talk about recruitment across various industries. Steve shares his insights from his 24 years of recruiting athletes, emphasizing the shift towards a more recruit-centered approach and the critical aspect of establishing trust and setting proper expectations during the recruitment process. He and Skip discuss best practices for recruiting, such as being honest, setting clear expectations, focusing on the process rather than solely on outcomes, and broader issues related to company culture and relationship-building in recruitment.
