🎙 Episode 256

Host: Marc Summers (AIME’s Founding President)

Guest: Jason Kindler (President of First Coast Mortgage Funding)

This week’s episode features Jason Kindler, a 25-year mortgage veteran who started as a broker, moved to retail, and came back to the broker channel with a fresh perspective.

Jason shares why independence was the catalyst for his return, how brokers can successfully compete with builder financing, and his simple approach to AI that anyone can implement.

He also discusses his coaching philosophy and why focusing on your strengths beats forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.

🔹 Key Takeaways:

  • – How to build relationships with builders and compete with their incentives.
  • – The hybrid model: combining retail support with broker freedom.
  • – Why the broker community’s willingness to share sets it apart from retail.
  • – The value of FUSE and immersing yourself in the community.

💡 Golden Nugget:
“Figure out what you want AI to solve for you. If there’s something in your week that you hate doing, AI can probably do it for you.”
