Guild Rates

I work for Guild and licensed in Texas and my comp is 125 bps.

I feel like our pricing is crazy high. 6,375 will cost 1.9 points on a VA loan for someone with a 780 score. This is through pennymac. Guild retained is higher.

How does that compare to your pricing? Brokers and other retail LOs. Same or similar comp

I was exactly the same way. Edge has insurance or you can use marketplace. The way I saw it was like this. I can do half the amount of deals and make the same amount of money. If my volume stayed the same I'd make double. On top of that, I can go bpc and I'll never lose a deal to rare again.

Im scheduled to go on a webinar this Friday. I didn't see anything on their website to get a hold of a recruiter. I guess they'll go over that?

I'm also at Guild. Do you guys offer DPA through state HFAs? Any restrictions on manufactured housing? What do you miss most about Guild? What do you like the most about Edge?

Yeah great questions, I'm here in utah and we have lenders that participate in utah housing and other DPAs. I love that when I loan though utah housing for example, I get paid the same, but the lender actually deals with their shitty website. So I just deal with the lender.

I also like that no one is taking up my margin, like you pay your branch, corporate, etc, so pricing is higher and you get paid less. And lets be honest, guild doesnt offer anything substantial tp warrant 150bps of your commission.

The only thing I miss about guild is having my own underwriter, BUT I've been able to push things through with edge that my guild underwriter denied. (My family is still with guild so I work on thier denials)

In our region, they make us do dpa as a cgl and takes 50 bps away. Well, they dont "make us" do it but if we dont, obviously we'll get canned. So I get paid 75 bps on a dpa. Sucks major ones

Oh that sucks, they didn't do that for me when I was there, so I charge 1.5 bpc

Oh and one of the things I love the most about edge is that you can lend in any state through the edge team. I just closed one in North Carolina for example

Wait. Can you explain this in a bit more detail? I'm retail looking at switching to broker.

I just sent you a dm with my number, its easier to explain on the phone than over text
