How to Coach An Employee Who is Performing Well
by Claire Lew
When we think about coaching employees, we often focus on how to coach an underperforming employee – not how to coach an employee who is performing well. It’s natural. The employee whose negative attitude needs addressing or the employee who habitually makes mistakes is the one who attracts our attention. We channel our coaching toward team members who seem to be struggling because it feels urgent to address and solve… But often we forget how to coach an employee who is performing well, in the process. Click HERE to learn about the three areas to focus when coaching an employee who is performing well.

The Scam That Keeps On Taking
by Lew Sichelman
LOAN OFFICER & REALTOR® ALERT: Cyber thieves are relentlessly targeting buyers in the middle of their title insurance and settlement process. Consequently, it’s incumbent upon real estate agents and loan officers to alert their clients that it’s entirely possible they will receive such a request and what to do about it. Reminding them frequently of the possibility so often won’t hurt, either. Warn them that if they receive any e-mails from anyone claiming to be a part of the transaction, they should call you to verify that fact before doing anything else. Communicate clearly with clients about how and when the buyer will be called upon to transfer closing proceeds. Tell them, too, that the wiring instructions will never change.

Here's the Key to True, Sustainable Efficiency in the Mortgage Industry
by Housingwire Content Solutions Team
Driving efficiency in your business model is more important than ever. We all know that the cost of underwriting talent has skyrocketed; however, that economic pressure is made even more acute by the fact that many lenders hired up during the refinance boom last year and are eager to keep volumes high even if margins get compressed. The key to true, sustainable efficiency in the mortgage industry is tied to digital transformation (not just taking an online application) that involves a reimagination of the origination process, automating workflows, and a focus on driving out unnecessary steps and bottlenecks.
