The Seven Biggest Commercial Loan Officer Mistakes

“When I meet a loan officer, all starry-eyed and glowing from the latest Commercial Lending Seminar Honeymoon, I think to myself, ‘Buddy, you better watch out ‘cuz you don’t know what’s about to hit you.’”

With over $507 Million in commercial real estate loan experience under my belt, I can assure you:  Most first time commercial loan officers get slammed by their lenders and clients … and don’t even know it.  Higher Rates, Documentation Nightmares, Late Closings, and Exorbitant Fees.

Dear Commercial Loan Officer:

After 16 years of qualifying, analyzing, structuring, packaging, and closing commercial real estate loans, I’ve seen it all.

Sub-99-Cent-Store quality gurus giving you the “bait-and-switch” … callous bank loan officers picking at your loan documents like crows on road kill … last-minute changes to loan rates that would make Prince Machiavelli smile … the $10,000 legal fee for document review that the lender neglected to mention … and fat cat commercial borrowers cryin’ the blues and begging for discounts, taking your money out of your pocket before you’ve had a chance to earn it.

You can lose a ton of future commissions, my friend.

Which is why I put together the guide “The Seven Biggest Mistakes Commercial Originators Make And How To Avoid Them.”  In this guide you’ll discover:

  • The one thing to do before you start your commercial loan application that could save you from massive embarrassment.
  • Why different commercial lenders like different types of commercial loans and save yourself hours of wasted time shopping in the wrong places
  • How your client’s tax strategies are killing your loan requests and what you can do to increase your loan amounts once you learn this secret.
  • How preparing this one document ahead of time will save you hours in searches and make your underwriters love your files.
  • The key questions to ask before you work with a commercial lender.

The key to making potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in commercial loan commissions fees is mostly in avoiding blunders like these.

“I met Craig while I was working at another firm that supposedly did “commercial” loans. In a few minutes of conversation with him I realized that he knew more … a LOT more … than the guy I was working for. In short order I started working with Craig. He taught me commercial lending from A to Z in simple terms that were easy to understand and apply. After 15 years in residential lending, I suddenly had a whole new world of clients that I could reach. And just in time, too! Now I do a good balance of residential and commercial loans, stabilizing my business and getting me more potential revenue, thanks to Craig.”
