You don't have a production problem. You have a company problem.
You know how to close. The thing holding you back isn't your skill, it's the margins, the tech, and the rules that belong to someone else. Dwell gives them back.
Every time they "restructure," you pay for it.
It's never announced as a pay cut. It's a margin adjustment, a tech migration, a new overlay. But you feel it in the same place every time: your income, your time, and your control.
Margins you don't set
Your comp moves when their math moves. You find out after the fact, and there's nothing to negotiate.
Tech you didn't choose
A stack of half-connected logins that someone in corporate picked, that you're expected to make work.
Rules that keep changing
Overlays, comp plans, and policies that shift under you, written for the company's risk, not your business.
A ceiling you can feel
You're capable of more, and you know it. The environment is throttling you, not your ability.
One fixed formula. We tell you exactly what we charge.
Your compensation is one fixed formula, the same on every loan. We charge one flat fee per closed loan and tell you exactly what it is. No hidden margin, no surprises. Here's the structure, in the open.
275 bps total compensation*
Example: on a $400,000 loan at 275 bps, the company is paid $11,000. After the $1,095 per file and 10% of the remainder, you keep $8,914.50.
Keep 90% of what's left. The same on loan one as loan one hundred.
After one flat $1,095 per file. Lender paid or borrower paid, the pay is the same. No tiers to climb, no targets that move on you mid-year. A clean, flat model built to maximize what you keep on every file you close.
*275 bps equals 2.75% of the loan amount and is the total compensation Dwell is paid on a loan. Some investors pay less, in which case your pay adjusts accordingly. It is the all-in number the company receives, lender paid or borrower paid. Your pay is the remainder after the company keeps a flat $1,095 per file and 10% of what is left, under one fixed formula that is the same on every loan.
One fixed comp formula. One flat fee per closed loan. A pro forma shows you the full picture every month, so you understand your economics from your very first file.
We're W-2 on purpose.
Most of the work a 1099 quietly dumps on you, we just do.
A bargain broker hands you a 1099, a login, and calls it freedom. That's you running payroll, compliance, and expenses on your own time. We do all of it for you, and your business expenses run pre-tax through an accountable plan our team manages.
Because it's W-2, standard withholding applies. Federal income tax, FICA for Social Security and Medicare, and state income tax where you have it. That's payroll, not a Dwell fee, and it's why a W-2 net can beat a 1099 gross that still owes self-employment tax later. Your pro forma shows the real number.
You focus on the work that makes you money. We handle the tech.
At Dwell the tech stack is set up before you walk in. The CRM is configured. The follow-up is running. Arive+, Fuel, and the Dwell Community, already working together.
Configured and connected before you start, with your AI LOA, Addy AI, doing real loan work inside it, not just reminders.
You stay the licensed LO making the calls. Your Producer Dashboard runs on the Rule of 3, flagging any file stalled past three days, so you always know where every loan stands.
Your private, white-labeled creative platform. Follow-up, funnels, and campaigns run from day one, wired straight into Arive+ so you stay in front of every lead without building any of it.
Every training, resource, and answer in one searchable place, so you get unstuck fast instead of waiting on a reply.
When a lender says no, you've got 45 more.
Retail puts you inside one set of overlays. When that lender passes, the deal is dead and your borrower walks. With 45+ investors, you are not boxed in: you shop the file, place it where it fits, and keep control of the outcome. Thousands of products across the full roster, so you say yes to almost any client who walks in.
"My VA loan got declined and I figured the deal was dead. Betsi found five other investors who'd take it. I've never had an ops team fight for my file like that."
Mike Sapida, Dwell LO
Growth isn't a thing you focus on "someday." It's built in.
Two done-for-you systems run inside Fuel from your first day. We call it Auto Pilot, because once it's on, your new leads and your past clients keep hearing from you whether you have time that week or not.
The moment a lead comes in, Dwell Direct goes to work. Automated email and SMS outreach with an AI conversational layer that answers, qualifies, and books, so new leads never go cold while you're heads-down closing a file.
Dwell 365 keeps you in front of every past client all year with nurture, education, and value running in the background. The database you worked hard to build keeps sending repeat and referral business instead of going quiet.
You'll never fight ops alone again.
Five support lanes, named real people. Not a ticket queue. Not a "great team." Humans who pick up.
Agency with accountability.
We treat you like an owner, because you are one. You get the agency to run your business your way. But the operators who actually win don't want to be left alone on an island. They want standards, and someone in their corner who holds them to it. So we pair real agency with real accountability. That's the whole model.
One fixed comp formula
Not a tier someone hands you, and not a number you price deal by deal. The same fixed formula on every loan, one flat fee per closed loan, and you see every number every month on a pro forma.
You run a stack you didn't have to build
Arive+, Fuel, and the Dwell Community, connected and running before day one, with the AI LOA handling the work that used to require a hire.
Autonomy, with a coach in your corner
No micromanagement, no call counts. But real standards, a steady cadence, and weekly time with Shane, because the people who win actually want to be held to it.
The technology isn't coming for your job. The companies that won't give it to you are.
At Dwell we hand you the stack, set up and running, and we stay at the front of it so you don't have to. You don't have to become a tech person. You just have to use what we built.
Don't take it from us. Take it from them.
The people who already do what you do, on this platform. Ask them anything.
What keeps me coming back every day, and loyal to this company, is the transparency of it all. From compensation, to the goals of the company, to the policy, to even how staff operates. It’s very clear how it’s all set out. Here’s to seven-plus more years.
I was already here. I made a move, tried something else for a while. It was fine… But when life brought me back to Washington, there was only one call I needed to make. I didn't shop around. I looked Shane up, had one conversation, and the decision was made.
The tech stack is impressive. The products are competitive. But that's not why I came back. Shane doesn't just run a mortgage company. He coaches you. He shows up. He invests his own time into making sure you get better. That kind of leadership is rare. And when you've experienced it once, you definitely notice when it's missing. That's why I came back.

No pitch. A real conversation about your production, your partners, and whether the move makes sense. If it doesn't, we'll both know fast.
