From Real Estate to Loan Brokering: Why Agents & Investors Are Making the Switch

Bigger Commissions. More Deals. Less Competition.
The real estate market has never been more unpredictable.
One year, the market’s hot. The next, interest rates kill the momentum.
Agents fight for the same listings.
Investors struggle with tight lending conditions.
Meanwhile, loan brokers are closing deals year-round—without worrying about market swings.
They don’t wait for inventory—they control the money that moves it.
They don’t fight for commissions—because they set their own rates.
They don’t chase clients—business owners come to them.
If you’re a real estate agent or investor looking for a high-income, low-risk business model, loan brokering is the move.
Why Real Estate Professionals Are Shifting to Loan Brokering
Bigger Commissions, Less Work
Real estate deals take weeks (or months) to close. Loan brokers can fund a deal in days—and get paid just as much (if not more).
Example:
• Sell a $500,000 home as an agent? You might earn $12,500 at a 2.5% commission.
• Fund a $500,000 loan as a broker? You can make $15,000+—with zero marketing costs.
Always in Demand—Even When the Market Cools
Real estate is cyclical—loan brokering is not.
Investors always need funding for flips, rentals, and development projects.
Business owners always need capital for expansion, payroll, or cash flow.
Lenders always need deal flow—and they rely on brokers to bring them deals.
Loan brokers stay profitable no matter what’s happening in the housing market.
Your Existing Network = Instant Clients
Real estate professionals already know:
• Investors looking for their next deal
• Business owners needing funding
• Lenders & hard money sources
Instead of referring deals out and making nothing, you can step in as the loan broker and get paid.
Example:
A real estate investor needs a hard money loan for their next flip. Instead of sending them to a lender (for free), you broker the deal and collect 2-4% on funding.
You’re already in the perfect position to do this—you just need the right training.
What Does a Loan Broker Do? (And Why Is It So Profitable?)
• Find business owners & investors who need funding.
• Match them with the right lenders based on their needs.
• Negotiate the deal & get it approved.
• Get paid a commission (usually $5K-$50K per deal).
No listings. No showings. No chasing buyers. Just deals that close fast.
How to Get Started (Without Losing Focus on Real Estate)
Many real estate professionals start by brokering loans on the side.
Once they see how profitable it is, they go all in.
Here’s how to transition seamlessly:
Get Trained: Learn the exact process to find clients, get lenders, and close deals.
Start with Investor & Business Loans: These deals close faster than traditional mortgages.
Leverage Your Existing Network: Your real estate contacts already need financing.
Stack Commissions: Fund a property AND sell it? Double commission.
