Why this works better than a single-channel growth play.

Most lenders either chase direct buyers or chase referral partners. This package gives you both, so each deal source strengthens the other instead of leaving your pipeline exposed.

Most lenders are too dependent on one channel.

If referrals slow down, they feel it immediately. If paid traffic weakens, they have nothing behind it. This system is built to reduce that fragility.

Buyer leads create leverage with realtors.

When you can help realtors access real buyer demand, your conversations stop sounding like a pitch and start sounding like a partnership.

Realtor relationships compound every closed deal.

Every successful buyer interaction can strengthen a referral relationship, and every new referral partner can keep feeding future deals into the system.

How the MLO Flywheel compounds deal flow.

Create By Influence drives buyer demand on the front end while Leads Launcher helps you build the realtor relationships that turn deal flow into something more durable, scalable, and valuable over time.

Realtor outreach case studies and testimonials.

This is the relationship-growth side of the MLO Flywheel: warm conversations, new referral partners, and lenders getting in front of agents already open to working together.

87
Qualified realtor opportunities in roughly 2.5 months

For Joseph McBreen’s CrossCountry branch, JM Lending, we generated 62 highly interested realtor opportunities for Illinois and another 25 for a second branch in about two-ish months, while maintaining roughly 5.6% to 6% average reply rates and producing booked meetings from the campaign.

36
Agent partnerships + 1 full team in 36 days

Kindred Mortgage Group rapidly expanded its referral network and created $340K in potential annual revenue through targeted outreach.

18
18 Interested agent connections and 1 deal in 5 days

We deployed the Partner Pipeline Protocol. Instead of the traditional “begging for coffee” approach, we installed a “Value-First” infrastructure targeting only agents doing $5-10M+ in volume. By offering leverage upfront, we shifted the dynamic—making agents compete for his time. The Result: The system generated 18 qualified agent meetings and 1 Live Deal hand-off in the very first week of the campaign.

“This program has been a game-changer for my business. If you want real access to motivated Realtors, this is the system to try.”

Terica Kindred

Owner, Kindred Mortgage Group

“They introduced me to 26 real estate agents who were actively interested in partnering with us. The outreach system brought in warm conversations, not just cold leads.”

Matthew Krause

Chaos into a manageable system

Real realtor replies.

These are the kinds of real responses the outreach side is designed to create when the value proposition lands with the right agent.

Angel Ray • Crye-Leike Realtors West

“I’m happy to take your referrals, as you know. Thanks for reaching out. Maybe our schedules will line up and we can meet face to face.”

Dan • Max Broock Realtors

“Nice attention grabber! Would love to add you to my team of lenders I refer business to. How can I get into your network of buyers!?”

Victoria • The Zac Team

“Thanks for the compliment on the Dunwoody sale. I’d be interested in hearing more about the buyer ads partnership.”

Nick Rogers • IPRG

“Mr. Snow — it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Guarantees and performance expectations.

The MLO Flywheel is designed to be concrete and measurable, not vague. These are the benchmarks built into the offer on both sides.

Buyer Ads Guarantee

$500 minimum ad spend comes with a guarantee of 10 qualified opportunities.

$1,000 suggested ad spend comes with a guarantee of 20 qualified opportunities.

Realtor Outreach Guarantee

The outreach side is positioned to generate 15 to 20 interested realtors in the first 30 days of campaign launch.

At a conservative 1 closed loan every other month and $4K to $7K per funded deal, that level of partner growth can turn into meaningful annual referral revenue if even a portion of those relationships become active producers.

Pricing designed for lenders who want both engines working together.

$797/month

Management fee for the MLO Flywheel

  • Buyer-facing ad management
  • Realtor partner outreach management
  • One funnel page
  • Biweekly consultant calls

Ad Spend

$500 minimum is the entry point and is positioned around 10 qualified opportunities.

$1,000 suggested is the stronger growth tier and is positioned around 20 qualified opportunities.

The goal is not just traffic. The goal is better buyer flow and stronger realtor leverage working together.

Why this partnership exists.

Hassan Ahmed

Hassan Ahmed

Founder, Leads Launcher

Built the realtor partner outreach system and mortgage-specific positioning that helps lenders create stronger referral relationships without doing the prospecting themselves.

Nick Lalwani

Nick Lalwani

Visionary / CEO, Create By Influence

Leads the paid advertising, funnel strategy, consultant network, and growth systems side that helps businesses turn traffic into qualified opportunities.

Leads Launcher already helps mortgage teams build producing realtor partnerships through cold email outreach. Create By Influence already helps businesses grow through paid advertising, consultants, funnel strategy, and systems. This joint offer brings both strengths together into one package built specifically for lenders who want to scale aggressively.

Designed by Hassan Ahmed and Nick Lalwani to give lenders a more durable, compounding growth engine instead of relying on one source of business.

Common questions.

Why not just run ads?

Ads can produce buyer demand, but they do not automatically build the referral relationships that sustain long-term growth. This package helps you do both.

Why not just do realtor outreach?

Realtor outreach helps you build partnerships, but adding buyer-facing demand gives you more value to bring into those relationships and more leverage as you grow.

Who is this best for?

High-performing branch managers and ambitious loan officers who want a more aggressive, all-in-one deal generation system with both direct and referral-side growth.

What happens on the strategy call?

We look at your current loan products, growth goals, market, and current sources of deal flow, then map out whether this dual-channel system is the right fit.
