Host: Marc Summers (AIME’s Founding President)
Guest: Mario Escobedo (Owner and Founder of Sienna Mortgage)
Mario Escobedo grew up around the mortgage industry, stepped away from it, and ultimately came back to build something all his own.
He shares how his early years as a loan coordinator shaped his understanding of the business, why he treats every client interaction like a system, and how giving value without asking has become the cornerstone of his success with realtor partners.
๐น Key Takeaways:
- Why “partner” is the most important word in his vocabulary and how he reinforces it.
- Marioโs experience growing up around the mortgage industry, stepping away, and making a triumphant return a decade later.
- How to proactively educate clients and partners instead of reacting to problems.
- Using social media as a social CRM to stay top of mind without being annoying.
- How the AIME community kept him in the broker channel when he considered leaving.
๐ก Golden Nugget:
“Give without asking. The law of reciprocity will do its own thing. Just focus on bringing value.”
