I left WJB in 2013 after 3.5 years there. So thrilled that I made that decision at that time. That company, starting with THE Bill Bradley, has always had the worst ethical standards and decisions. So thankful to see the company is gone. Sorry about those good employees that were terminated. We are Hiring and looking for Good Mortgage Professionals.
Always enjoy watching, I do Commercial Real Estate in Manassas Virginia. Keep up the great show!!!

If you are an AZ Loan Officer I would recommend Peoples Mortgage. Great reputation and even better operations. My email is listed here for more info. 602-451-5472 to ask questions before applying. I’m not a recruiter, just another LO like you.
We are a large and respected mortgage broker in the San Francisco East Bay.
If you are interested in going back to brokering loans at a much better price than retail banking And getting rid of the multiple layers of “corporation”, give us a call.

Frank and Brian,
I always enjoy listening to you. Unfortunately your disinformation is harmful to the Califirnia team who had a separate merger in the works and is moving to a wonderful National mortgage company Supreme Lending with a robust product platform and technological efficiencies allowing us to close files faster than the majority of mortgage lenders. We already have transferred a majority of our files to Supreme Lending, and my files personally are moving through a condensed process to expedite. They honored locks that were at certain stages of the loan process.
Please call the Califoria team to verify and don't hurt good quality loan officers and their livelihood with trying to get news out without properly vetting the information.
I hope you have a follow up report to clarify if you want the credibility of your story.
I think the real topic should have been the unintended consequences of over regulation as this company most likely would not have fallen without TRID. It was the straw that broke the camels back. 415-203-6800. Julie Malta.

Julie, Supreme is not too bad, but be careful, we just hired two LO's from there. It's not all what it seemed. Lower comp plans, graduating volume comp schedule, overlays, had some issues with some of the bond programs, couldn't do same day fundings. I also interviewed with them in late 2013 and I didn't like the fact that I was going to lose some of my autonomy on the P&L with them. For me, pay/comp/pricing is # 1. All the other "fluff" comes afterwards.

To WJB Employees: Want to work for a company who pays their LO's 200bps and where the pricing is better than the competitors at 150bps, then please contact me. No graudating scale. We put the money in the LO's pockets, not into costly advertising. WJB's pricing was way off the mark, charging a 1% Origination on their loans(that's how the PHX Office did it anyhow). We were about 225bps better than WJB's, which surprises me that they lasted that long.
We are looking for Loan officers at the moment. Please call us at 650-746-6225

I worked for this company before and the manager fired me and said leave dont come back leave all your loans and paperwork here and you won't be getting paid for anything. I was trying to close a fha stream line that had the customer bringing money to the table as they often do because full months interest due on FHA .I think He fired me because they had been withholding loan officers commissions portionately for several months because I confronted him about it because I wanted to make sure i was getting paid . They were not paying the LO what was stated in there contracts. They really but an awful taste in my mouth and took me close to the edge financially.
Anyway I have a mortgage company and if your in Denver area let me know if i can help. We are A rated A on BBB . A paper we have that wholesaler that is always beating everyone else. Leave message at royalprestige1776@yahoo.com All th best
Good morning – as one of the top LOs / Manager – pretty much everything you said is 100% correct. Northern California folks somewhat saw this coming and we have moved to a new company on Monday – and almost have fully been on boarded. Most all of our clients have been made whole. Disclosures have gone out for most clients and we be closing loans with out much damage. Anybody who has any positive thoughts, please feel free to get in touch with me. We know we are loved…to date I have received 84 recruiter calls – telling them all the same thing, we have good offers, our clients are being taken care of…and the company we are going to is better than WJB ever was. And yes this was a TRID issue, in part. Best of luck to all my past co-workers at WJB, you guys were all great.
What a difficult situation that WJ left you and your borrowers in. If any of you are in the Eugene, Oregon area we are looking for loan officers. We are locally owned and have a great culture with excellent team members. We are a mortgage broker who works with a large group of lenders and have many different programs we can offer to our clients. If your interested you can email me or call me at 541-242-5161.

Great topic F & B, SCOTTSDALE ARIZONA L.O.'s we have 2 spots in our well funded Boutique shop. We Fund in our name and broker to 20+ companies. 602-290-5994, Velocity Financial, LLC
I've been working at Velocity Financial, LLC for 5 yrs and this is a great company! We're a small, boutique company with amazing processing and management. We'd love the opportunity to help any of those WJ Bradley customers who still need their loans closed on time and we welcome their loan officers to come work with us.
Although I’ve never worked for WJ Bradley, I’ve talked to several loan officers who have, and from what I gather, I’m hearing the same thing here from past employees.. It was not a very ethical place to work.. And from the way they treated their employees during the shutdown, it’s even more compelling as to the lack of integrity of that firm. That being said, for those LO’s looking for a new place to hang your hat, you might want to check out Velocity Financial LLC. Boutique atmosphere, great upbeat positive environment with no ego’s, access to the best lenders, good pay plan, 401K with company match, health ins, etc, etc, etc.. , 480-Velocity, or my direct line, 480-287-5714
Just over 5 months ago, I bought a house in Arizona using Velocity Financial, LLC. Not only was the loan closed 6 days earlier than expected, but the company has gone way above and beyond our expections by staying in touch with us to this day. They have continued to answer any and all of our questions, even after the loan closed and they have treated us like family throughout the entire process. If any WJ Bradley customers still need their loans closed on time, or any L.O.'s are looking for a new place of hire, I promise you could not go wrong by giving them a call – 602-290-5994.
I've known Michael J Barnes of Velocity Financial since 1995 and he is the definition of Honesty and Integrity. If I were still in the mortgage business I would definately be working at Velocity.

Bill Bradley might have been a "wunderkind" on Wall Street, but he left a hugh TURD when he shuttered his business. Absolutely clueless. Believe me, with 42 plus years originating loans, I know the difference. Bradley had no customer service skill set, which is a minimum requirement, and must have forgotten that skill when he made his money. He left a ton of folks high and dry, and where I come form , that is the kiss of death. Hope you had something socked away, Bill. RIP

Totally agree! He was just a greedy man without any business saavy. He was in it for the money and could care less about all the low level employees that made him that money!

I've worked with Velocity Financial as well. I started the process with it being my first home purchase knowing nothing and a little overwhelmed to say the least. I honestly can't tell you how amazing they have been. Treated more like a good friend than a customer, I'm still helped with even little things and my personal concerns. The people working there certainly care more to making sure we are comortable and happy with our decision rather than just raking in as many as they can and moving on to the next. One of the few companies that puts their values in the right place and I would return to based solely on that.
