At our HMA Mortgage Sales Rally, JLA Realty President John Altic shared a simple but powerful message: meet people where they are. The best relationships aren't built by constantly asking for business. They're built by understanding what matters to your partners and finding ways to support them.
That's exactly why co-marketing works.
The loan officers building the strongest realtor partnerships aren't focused solely on what they can get. They're focused on how they can help. Whether that's sharing ideas, making introductions, supporting marketing efforts, or simply showing up consistently, they become a valuable part of their partners' growth.
That's something HMA Branch Manager Jeff Shealey has done exceptionally well throughout his partnership with John.
When you invest in helping others win, referrals become the byproduct of trust, not the goal of every conversation.
