He quickly rose through the ranks from his entry-level role as account executive, promoted to sales team leader within three years. He worked closely with mortgage brokers during his five-year stint with the company that ended in 2020, learning the trade as he went along.
Making the leap into mortgages
“After working with some of the brokers, I was able to get my confidence up enough and learned enough about the industry that I felt I could do it on my own,” Bryant said of becoming a mortgage broker. “So then I took the state licensing test and was able to pass it on my first try. I ended up with a local brokerage company as an originator where I’ve been ever since, which has been fantastic.”
You might even say it’s been marvelous for him. Since July 2020, Bryant has been working at MarveLoans LLC as a loan originator and vice president of the firm. The founder of the company, Bryant noted, is a friend and former UWM colleague with whom he had stayed in touch. The company is licensed in 10 states and Washington, DC, with plans to expand into Texas by year’s end, Bryant said.
To be sure, it’s a far cry from the pizza business – and exponentially more complex. Even though his mortgage career began in a time of market volatility, he said he enjoys the challenge. “What I like about this industry is that it’s very challenging,” he said. “It’s something new every day and you have to have a certain level of experience and knowledge in this business in order to be successful. There are a lot of people who come and go, but the test of time for longevity is being able to withstand the ups and downs. You have to be willing to learn something new. It’s constantly moving and changing, which I like because I need to be challenged.”
One such challenge arose in one of his earliest deals, when a client was having issues with a break in the title that prompted that resulted in his getting denied by other lenders. In partnership with UWM, Bryant was able to resolve the issue and do a refinance, enabling the older military veteran client to secure enough money for home repairs and even a little extra for his retirement.
