- Payout: not the headline split — what you actually keep after fees.
- If you need leads and structured training, a retail lender like Rocket fits.

What does this guide cover?
There is no single 'best' mortgage company — there's a best company for your situation. Score every option through four filters: payout and real cost, technology and support, training and mentorship, and lender panel breadth.
Payout: not the headline split — what you actually keep after fees. A 100% model with monthly fees can beat a 90% split with free leads — or lose to it — depending on your loan volume. Do the math on YOUR loan count.
If you need leads and structured training, a retail lender like Rocket fits. If you can self-generate and want the highest payout, a broker like NEXA or Loan Factory usually wins. For a traditional team and mentorship, Fairway is a strong pick.
