Once again another gift to my favourite industry in Canada, the mortgage industry. I used to call him the Wayne Gretzky of the mortgage industry but after consideration I have to change that to I don't know what. The reason being that Wayne Gretzky was the greatest player but not a very good coach because he could not relate to players with less talent whereas Dustan is both.
He lays out a winning game plan that will allow any newbie (or veteran stuck in a rut) a clear path to achieving effective results full of integrity. He makes it clear that it is not an easy road, nor a get rich quick scheme, but a path that is going to be challenging but rewarding if followed. Your clients will benefit, you will benefit, your referral partners will benefit and your family will benefit. Win-Win-Win-Win.
If you are new to this industry or continually love to grow in this great profession it is easily a must read.

This is an excellent read for anyone who is a broker. I devoured this book in A day and a half and I know that I'll be going back to it again and again and again. Excellent advice for mortgage brokers.

This was a very informative book with lots of very good tools.

The audiobook version is proofed and it turned out great. These books are living documents and I look forward to fine tuning the writing further still.

Wow! 'Be The Better Broker Volume 2' is even better than the first! Dustan Woodhouse's writing style is engaging and informative, making complex mortgage concepts easy to understand. The book is packed with practical tips and strategies that any mortgage professional can implement. What sets this book apart are the personal anecdotes and behind-the-scenes glimpses into Woodhouse's own experiences. It's inspiring to see his passion for the industry and his commitment to helping others succeed. Highly recommend this book to anyone looking to take their mortgage career to the next level.

Every Mortgage Broker/Agent should read

This book is packed with so much information. It is a great picture of how mortgage brokers should work and can be used as a blueprint of how your mortage pratcice should be set up. I can't wait to read Volume #3.

This was a good book about learning to operate a successful mortgage brokering business. As a beginner in the mortgage industry, my key takeaways were:

*Ask and verify everything on the application with no exceptions.

*The best use of your time when starting is to take as many mortgage applications as possible

*Network and nurture positive relationships with everyone, whether they are a current customer or referral partner, or a future customer or referral partner.

Gold!

Each volume (so far) should be required reading for brokers contemplating this industry to those that are either 100 days in or 10 years in.

Regardless of your volume goals, this information will only make you better at what you do as a mortgage broker and ultimately elevate our segment of the industry!

Thank you Mr, Woodhouse.....again

Another great read from Dustan filled with tips and tactics to be great. Volume 2 shares what it takes to be one of the most successful brokers in the industry. These truths can not only be applied to the business of mortgage brokering, but can easily be applied in other industries. This book will reviewed and studied more than once and shared many times. Anxiously awaiting Volume 3.

Excellent read. A must read for all those who are thinking of becoming a broker, and for all existing brokers as well.
Dustan's tips and ideas has allowed me to refine my process, and my business has become much more efficient.
I only wish I had these books at the start of my career.
I recommend his series to all my colleagues, and all new brokers.
