Join AnnieMac · For branch managers & loan originators

Scale without sacrificing culture, margin, or momentum.

At a certain stage, growth stops being about effort and starts being about structure. Gabe partners with producing managers and mortgage teams who want to grow with stability and retention — on a platform built to double your business, not just hold it.

Who this is for

Built for the people carrying the production.

Producing branch managers

You’ve built a book and a team, and you’re protective of both. You want a platform that scales your production without flattening your culture — and leadership that answers the phone.

Loan originators

You’re past the stage where a recruiter’s pitch impresses you. You want ops that keep up, products that fit real borrowers, and a place your career can compound.

Mergers & acquisitions

Thinking about joining forces with a bigger platform? Gabe has personally moved a several-hundred-person company. He knows what breaks — and how to keep it from breaking.

The AnnieMac difference

Big-company muscle. Boutique attention.

The reason new originators find their footing so fast: the resources of a top-35 U.S. lender, delivered like a shop where everyone knows your name. It’s the same idea that runs through everything Gabe does — a seat at the table for everyone who wants to grow.

  • A top-35 U.S. lender — with a boutique, high-touch transactional experience.
  • No bureaucracy. Open-door access to the executive team, not a phone tree.
  • Founded in 2011 on one belief: homeownership is core to the American Dream.
  • Your opinion matters. Leadership listens, and moves.

Everything built around one person: you

The formula: services, products, and platforms.

AnnieMac hones in on the three levers that actually move a loan officer’s business. Here’s what each one puts in your hands.

Products & Capital Markets

A product for every scenario.

While other shops stick to the basics, AnnieMac carries the hard-to-find programs your borrowers can’t get anywhere else — and adds a new product most weeks.

  • Full Non-QM suite, Condo & Renovation, Physician’s Loan, Builder’s Capital
  • HELOCs & CES, land-only financing, loan amounts up to $30M

  • 400+ customizable templates with MLS integration
  • Create.More Studio asset library, expanding daily

  • Monthly all-company calls & regional/divisional strategy sessions
  • Leadership Advisory Council — a seat for producing LOs
  • Extra recruitment support for branch managers growing share

Signature program · Cash2Keys

Stop losing to cash buyers. Let your borrowers make the cash offer.

AnnieMac pre-qualifies the borrower and lets them make a secured cash offer that removes the mortgage contingency — so your buyers compete and win. With Buy Now, Sell Later and CashBridge, they move first and sell later, no home-sale or settlement contingency sabotaging the deal.

For loan officers, that means a higher conversion rate, better margins, and new agent relationships — agents win more bidding wars when their clients are cash buyers.

Speed to production

The move is handled — so you keep producing.

Changing platforms shouldn’t cost you a quarter. AnnieMac’s onboarding is built to protect your pipeline and get you closing fast.

Licensing & training, day one

A team assembled to support your production from the start — you’ll operate independently with confidence by the end of your first week, with licensing handled day one.

Your database, preserved

“Made a Move” announcements, NMLS ID transfer coordination, lease transfers, and transition-loan support keep your pipeline and relationships intact through the move.

The human part, handled

Changing platforms is a big step. You get resignation strategy, pre-qual and credit-pull support, aligned training schedules — and honest support through the transition.

Why teams join Gabe

The platform gets you in the door. Gabe keeps you here.

Leadership that has built it before

Gabe co-founded and grew a mortgage bank from 3 to 450+ people before joining AnnieMac. Your growing pains aren’t theoretical to him — he has lived every one.

A market-level view

As President of MBA New Jersey, Gabe sees industry shifts early — across organizations, not just one shop — and brings practical solutions back to his teams first.

Culture you can verify

“Treat everyone as family” isn’t a poster. It shows up in retention, in community work, and in how his teams talk about him. Ask anyone who has worked with him.

Alignment over quick moves

Gabe works with managers who value retention and long-term stability over empty promises. If the fit isn’t right, he’ll tell you that too.

How the conversation works

No pressure. No pitch decks. No countdown clocks.

01

A real conversation

Confidential, no obligation. Talk through where your business is, where it’s stalling, and what you actually want next.

02

Map the fit

Gabe walks you through the platform against your numbers and your goals — honestly, including where it isn’t the right fit.

03

Decide with clarity

No pressure, no countdown clocks. Make the call that’s right for your team, your clients, and your family.

Your next chapter deserves a real conversation.

Confidential, direct, and honest about fit — including when the answer is “stay where you are.” That’s how Gabe has always done it.
