In this MikeDrop recap, we distill the biggest insights from our full conversation with Rich Weidel, CEO of Princeton Mortgage, and a respected voice on what it takes to succeed in the post-2020 mortgage landscape.
This isn’t about gimmicks or shortcuts. This is about clarity, confidence, and culture.
The Reality Check Originators Need – Rich gives loan officers and managers the tools to understand their numbers, improve performance, and gain true confidence in the marketplace.
Why Transparency is a Superpower – From originator to CEO, everyone at Princeton works off the same set of numbers. No fluff, no ego—just truth. And truth is scalable.
Culture That Converts – Rich talks about building a culture that doesn’t just feel good—it performs. His leadership style blends financial clarity with human insight—a rare combo in today's landscape.
The Pre-Approval Feeling… But for Your Career – Imagine bringing your metrics to a leader who not only reviews them but helps you create a path forward based on facts and potential. That’s what Rich delivers.
Choose Your Hard – It's not easy to build a scalable mortgage business with transparency and integrity. But it's also not easy to keep putting out fires in a broken model. Choose your hard—and win with intention.
Redefining Freedom in the Industry – Freedom is more than remote work. It's about financial health, strategic decision-making, and not living paycheck to paycheck in a 100% commission world.
