- 40+ Years Combined mortgage experience
- 15 Years Independent brokerage ownership
- Firsthand Insight Our transition to Edge
Why we made the move
We evaluated Edge from an owner’s point of view
After owning and operating Blue Stripe Mortgage for 15 years, we knew exactly what it takes to manage a mortgage business while still giving clients personal service. We also knew how much time can disappear into administration, technology, compliance, lender management and back-office responsibilities.
Joining Edge gave us the opportunity to keep working directly with our clients while gaining access to a larger platform, broader lender options and additional resources. It allowed us to spend more time originating and building relationships, which is where we create the most value.
We are happy to share what we considered, what the transition has been like and the questions we believe every mortgage professional should ask before making a move.
