On Friday May 29, 2020, at 4:45PM, after finishing up my firm's COVID response, I was let go. I worked there for ten years climbing up the corporate ladder. And every single year, I went through the same old roller coaster of emotions where I was unhappy one day, and then the next day, I would convince myself that this was normal. That it was normal to be unhappy with your job. Don't get me wrong, I met some incredible people, some astounding people, but when the company's actions do not match the ideals that they preach, and when you see good, hard-working people not get the recognition that they deserve, it takes a strain on one's mind.
So, on May 29th, I saw I was given an opportunity. Now I could create something meaningful. A company that was about honesty, teamwork, and family. A company that was about being client-first by being employee-first. So, I tossed away the Corporate America C-Suite dream, grabbed hold of the Entrepreneurial spirit, and created 1RATE. A boutique mortgage advisory firm focused on meeting clients with a "Four Seasons" experience, striving to become the industry's gold standard, and formulating an organization about training, rewarding, and honoring the individuals who treat everyone like a VIP client.
So far, it's been an amazing journey building something unique and creating a "WOW" experience for every client. We're having a ton of fun, connecting with great people and sharing the redefined experience of 1RATE with everyone we can.
