This Michigan deal hit our desk on a Friday night and 21 days later it funded for $400,000. 🔥

Let me share the timeline for it as another live example of how deals might play out 👇

🗓️ Fri 8/14, 8:52pm — deal submitted. On a Friday night. $400K double close.

⚡ 9:34pm — 42 minutes later our team is already in the email thread.

🏷️ Mon 8/17, 7:35am — deal desk stood up. The file got its own dedicated channel, and ops, funding, and closing all joined. Communication continues.

📁 Thu 8/20 — double close next steps out to the buyer: contracts, structure, what we need and when we need it.

🔁 8/24 · 8/25 · 8/26 · 8/27 — four straight days of follow-up.

🏦 Fri 8/28 — working the file directly with the title company; title gets verified, and wire instructions get independently confirmed.

✅ Fri 9/4 — FUNDED. $400,000. 💰

Now here's the part that ... quite honestly sucks 👀 There's a field on that deal record labeled "Referrer" and it was blank. The borrower had to find us themselves.

Somebody out there knew that buyer. Somebody heard "I've got the deal, I just don't have the money." And nobody pointed them our way. So the referral fee on a $400,000 double close didn't turn into a team members win with us. 🤷

You need to build the relationships and make the intro (get deal submitted). Our desk handles the other 21 days. ⚡🤝

Let's do more deals together!
