for newer loan officers

Build it right the first time.

Most new LOs spend three years piecing together tools, guessing at systems, and learning the hard way. You don't have to. At Dwell the tech stack is built, the coaching is real, and the comp is the same math on every loan, before your first file.

the head start

You bring the drive. We bring the infrastructure.

What separates the new LOs who make it from the ones who wash out usually isn't talent. It's the platform underneath them. Here's yours.

01

A tech stack that's already built

Arive+, Fuel, and your AI Loan Assistant are wired and running before your first file.

02

Coaching from a Top 1% producer

Daily 1:1s with Shane your first month, weekly through month six. A coach, not a manager.

03

The same math from day one

One flat fee per file, every number on a pro forma every month. No moving targets.

your runway

Here's exactly how you start.

No "figure it out as you go." A specific, supported runway — and it starts before you ever sign.

the move

Who actually teaches you to sell.

Not a recorded course and a Slack channel. Live time with a former Top 1% originator, then a cadence that doesn't stop.

You are brand new, so the cadence is heaviest exactly when you need it most.

the economics

The same math on every loan.

One flat fee per closed file, and you keep 90% of what's left — on loan one and loan one hundred. No tiers to climb, no targets that move mid-year.

2.75% max
All-in, that's everything Dwell is paid on a loan.*
$1,095 / file
One flat fee per closed loan. Nothing else per file.
90% to you
Of what's left, on every file, from your first one.
$8,914
your side of one loan

On a $400,000 loan, you keep $8,914.50.

Dwell is paid $11,000. After the flat $1,095 file fee and 10% of the remainder, the rest is yours — and you see every number on a pro forma every month. You're W-2 on purpose: payroll, compliance, and expenses are handled for you, not dumped on you.

See the full comp math

*275 bps (2.75%) is the most Dwell is paid on a loan, lender paid or borrower paid. Some investors pay less, in which case your pay adjusts accordingly. Your pay is the remainder after a flat $1,095 per file and 10% of what is left, plus a $200 monthly company draw recovered from your commissions.

made simple

Top-tier tech that does the heavy lifting.

Arive+, Fuel, and the Dwell Community come configured and connected before you walk in. You don't manage the stack, you use it — so your time goes to the people and the loans.

Arive+
Loan origination, fully wired

Configured and connected before you start, with your AI Loan Assistant, Addy AI, doing real loan work inside it, not just reminders.

What Addy handles
Reads & verifies docs Calculates income & DTI Runs AUS & guidelines Builds the needs list CTC-ready in minutes

You stay the licensed LO making the calls. Your Producer Dashboard flags any file stalled past three days, so you always know where every loan stands.

Fuel
Creative + growth + ops

Your private, white-labeled creative platform. Follow-up, funnels, and campaigns run from day one, wired straight into Arive+.

Dwell Community

your bench

You'll never figure it out alone.

Five support lanes, who are real people, not a ticket queue. When you're new, that's the difference between drowning and building.

say yes more

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. With 45+ investors and thousands of products, you shop the file and place it where it fits.

"Do you do construction loans?"
Yes.
"They’re self-employed, one year of returns."
Yes.
"My buyer has a 580 score."
Yes.
"The VA loan got declined somewhere else."
Yes.

"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."

real results

Brand new in this business. Here's her first 30 days.

I chose Dwell because I work for my clients, not a bank. I get to shop over 40 investors to find them the best rate for their situation. What surprised me is the team — loan officers who actually share knowledge and help each other. I loved my first 30 days here.

good questions

What newer LOs want to know.

I'm new. Will I actually get support, or get left alone?
Daily 1:1 calls with Shane for your first month, then weekly through month six — plus five named support lanes behind him. You're never on an island.
Do I need to be technical to use the stack?
No. It's set up and connected before you start. You learn three systems by doing real work, and the AI LOA handles the repetitive ops tasks.
How does the comp actually work for someone just starting?
The same math on every loan: a flat $1,095 per closed file and a $200 monthly draw, inside a W-2 model. You see the full picture on a monthly pro forma. We walk through it on the call.
What's expected of me?
Show up, use the systems, take coaching, and build visibility. Dwell is for the hungry and coachable. We give a lot and we ask a lot. If that sounds like you, we should talk.
