NMP Ignite: Build-A-Broker Summit
You don't have to figure this out alone.
Every broker-owner started somewhere. Most of them wish they'd had a roadmap. This is it.
The NMP Ignite: Build-A-Broker Summit brought together originators who recently made the leap into brokerage ownership to share exactly what it took — what worked, what they'd do differently, and how they got from licensed originator to running their own shop. No theory, no fluff. Just the real path, told by the people who just walked it.
