In this episode of Excellence of Execution, Paul and Dan sit down with Taylor Stitski, one of the newest agents at their brokerage and a producer doing roughly $120 million in annual mortgage volume across more than 200 deals. They break down the systems, follow-up habits, organization and efficiency that allow Taylor to handle an enormous book of business with a very lean team. Taylor shares how his early years working alongside high-volume mortgage professionals shaped the way he underwrites, manages files and stays on top of clients today. The conversation also gets into the downside of doing so much yourself, including burnout, learning to delegate and building the right support system so growth doesn't come at the expense of your personal life. They also discuss today's competitive mortgage market, adapting when the industry gets harder, and why Taylor chose to join a brokerage surrounded by other high-producing agents who push him to reach the next level.Taylor Stitski - https://www.themortgageduck.caFollow us on Instagram - @excellenceofexecutionpodProduced by Max Silverberg
