For Connecticut loan officers
Nick Landell spent two and a half years learning the mortgage basics at another Connecticut shop. He joined AFC in September 2024. Here's what changed.
2025 volume, up from about $3.5M a year before AFC
earned in 2025, on pace for about $225K in 2026
of his loans are DSCR, bank statement, bridge or cash offer. He did none before
closed on his first multifamily in September 2026
Volume and income figures shared with Nick's permission. Volume from AFC records; prior-shop figure from public NMLS-linked production data.
His first shop taught him how to close a file. At AFC he got weekly coaching on sales, marketing and building agent relationships, with every call recorded and reviewed.
Processing, our Approval Team and closing are all in-house. A Loan Partner runs everything after the application, so Nick stays on the phone with buyers and agents.
Cash offer, buy before you sell, bridge from our own fund, DSCR and bank statement. His agents now call him first for the deals other lenders can't do.
“I saw all the other people here doing it and I'm like, why have I not been doing this?”
