VISIONARY PROGRAM
Mentoring Program From Leaders Just Like You
You are at the top of your game. You have a lot of insight to share with ‘up and comers.’ But you don’t know where to start or how to get involved. With NAMMBA’s Visionary Program, you get matched with a mentee - and supported by your mentorship cohort so you don’t have to go it alone.
For just a $995 contribution per year, you will be paired with those seeking mentorship in the real estate and finance field.
A fee of $995 to help cover program costs applies for each accepted Visionary.
Stewardship of the Future of Real Estate Finance Lending
You love what you do in the real estate finance industry. You have built and executed long-term strategies. You have bridged gaps and fostered relationships across departments and companies. You have grown your career with successes built on top of lessons learned from failures. It’s been a long road. But you are in a place where you can reflect on what you have learned over the years.
What do you wish you had known early on in your career?
What could you have done differently at the beginning of your career that would have been more successful?
What would you have liked your supervisors to have done differently?
If you’ve got answers to these questions, NAMMBA’s Visionary Program wants you. Whether you are a Realtor mentor, a Mortgage Broker mentor, or anyone in the industry. If you want to help, we want you!
The number one reason people give for not becoming a mentor is that they don’t know where to start, or they haven’t been asked.
It’s NOT because they don’t think they have anything to offer.
NAMMBA is asking, and we are here to help you get started.
We know you have stories and experiences to share that could help up-and-coming professionals navigate the mortgage lending industry.
It’s no secret that our industry leadership is retiring out of their positions. We are going to need exponential leadership growth to fill that vacuum. It’s time to step up to the challenge and meet that leadership demand head-on.
Laura Brandao, NAMMBA Visionary Chair Extraordanaire
“Let me ask you a question: What is a Visionary? It is a person with original ideas about what the future will or could be like. Today I am here to tell you we need all of you!”

Mentorship with Your Strengths in Mind
We Put the Pieces in Place
Love talking about salary negotiations or networking strategies? Think that you’re the boss when it comes to career counseling and resume editing? Are personal branding and personal digital representation where you shine? Whatever your jam is, we connect you with NAMMBA members who are looking for your insight, your experience, and your unbiased judgment on how they can advance their careers within the industry you love.
Career Building Confidentiality
Mentoring people you manage is…awkward at best. At worst, dysfunctional. A mentee might feel like the questions they ask have negative career consequences if they are being mentored within their own organization.
That’s why participating in a mentorship program away from company politics is key. Working with NAMMBA removes the push and pull of “boss vs. subordinate” that you get in company-wide mentorship programs. When mentoring through NAMMBA, you are just an experienced professional helping another professional reach your level of success. No rumor mill involved.
Your Mentor Network Put to Work
Not only will you have access to other mentors like yourself for support, but you can also lean on your peers when your mentee asks for support on something that lies outside your area of expertise. Cross-pollination of experience is part of a healthy mentorship program. So, when you don’t know the answer, you can always reach out to your mentor cohort for support, guidance, and even co-mentorship. Because while you might be the boss at salary negotiations, HR nightmares might not be your cup of tea.
Get that Pay-it-Forward Feeling
It’s that whole “give-more-to-get-more” exchange that only happens when you KNOW you have something to teach someone. And you get back so much from mentorship. You keep developing your leadership skills, honing the art of delivering feedback, and even learning new insights from your mentee’s perspective that you can apply in your current role. The rewards of Mortgage Broker mentoring and Realtor mentoring are what you make of them.
Take the next step in your leadership journey. Start making an impact on the next generation of mortgage industry professionals. This is your chance to give back to the industry and community that has helped you forge your successful career. It’s time to step up and join the mission for an annual contribution of only $995 per year.
