In this episode, we're joined by Scott Sarai. Scott is a Mortgage Broker at SGS Mortgages from Maple Ridge, BC, who's a part of Team Wiley at Tango while also still being a full-time firefighter. After spending time as a broker, Scott started a fulfillment business working for other brokers, which ended up eroding his passion for mortgages. With plans to exit the industry entirely, a game-changing conversation with Ryan led to giving his business 6 more months of life. Now with a renewed mindset, mentorship, and an innovative approach, Scott funded nearly $18 million in just 5 months, while also revitalizing his passion for brokering and positioning himself for success in the future.
Scott is here to discuss:→ His journey in the industry, the pivotal role Team Wiley has played in his success, and where he wants to go next.→ How he's improved in all 5 foundations of his business, the compounding effect of simple with consistency, and the positive impact on his time by hiring fulfilment.→ Going deep instead of wide with referral partners and marketing to their lists, creating leverage across the board by going 1-to-many instead of 1-to-1, and how he's grown on social media.

269: The Niche Broker... 27M, 20-Hour Weeks, & 8 Vacations
Thursday Apr 10, 2025
Thursday Apr 10, 2025
In this episode, we're joined by Sylvia Ho. Sylvia, the "cash damming queen", is a Mortgage Broker from the Greater Toronto Area in Ontario, who has revolutionized her mortgage business after over 2 decades in the industry by exclusively focusing on rental cash damming over the past 2 years. Her transformation from a generalist to a specialist showcases how focusing on a specific niche can lead to both professional success and personal fulfillment, as she now manages to take vacations every 6 weeks, while working only 80 hours a month, and never on evenings and weekends.
Sylvia is here to discuss:→ Why the focus on rental cash-damming and changing her business model, building a recession-proof business, and how turning away files helps her business. → Transitioning from running a team to to a simplified process with 1 assistant, how she gets quality leads and protects her time, and building expertise through continuous learning and practice.→ Prioritizing peace of mind over traditional business opportunities, achieving better work/life balance, and avoiding burnout.
