Mortgage Recruiting Vertical — Live

Build a mortgage recruiting
business.

Build a recruiting business in the mortgage industry. Place loan originators with lender clients, deliver the ongoing recruiting and retention services those clients need, and get paid by Co-Operate for the work you perform. A flat rate, a hard cap, a clean split. A flat rate, a hard cap, a clean split. Nothing buried in footnotes.

tier network

Co-Operate contracts directly with its lender clients and pays Contractors for services performed. You are never paid by a lender, by a borrower, or out of a closing. Contractors do not refer consumers or settlement service business and are not compensated for doing so.

01Compensation

How you get paid.

A flat fee per funded loan, whatever its size. Nothing buried in footnotes.

$800
flat
Your Co-Operator Fee

Your Co-Operator Fee is a flat $800 for every loan funded by an originator you placed and continue to service. Any product, any transaction type, any loan size — a $250,000 loan and a $900,000 loan pay exactly the same.

Network Pool, funded by Co-Operate

You keep the whole $800 as Direct Compensation for services performed. The $250 Network Growth Allocation is funded separately by Co-Operate — it is not carved out of your fee.

No service, no fee.

Compensation is earned only when the required services are performed within the required timeline. Miss a monthly retention service and that month’s Direct Compensation is forfeited. Miss a quarterly Network Growth service and that quarter’s allocation is forfeited.

Figures illustrate the fee formula at cap. They are not representations of expected or typical earnings.

02Network Growth Allocation

The second
service requirement.

As you recruit and support Frontline Recruited Contractors (FRCs), your Network Growth Allocation is calculated against their funded production and paid to Contractors who complete their quarterly Network Growth services.

Tiers 1–3 open from Day One. Tier 4 unlocks at 5 active FRCs. Tier 5 at 15. Tier 6 at 25. Tier 7 at 50.

A flat $250 per funded loan, funded by Co-Operate, is allocated to this pool — distributed only to Contractors who complete their quarterly Network Growth services.

Tier Allocation At Cap
Tier 1
17.5% $43.75
Tier 2
20.0% $50.00
Tier 3
12.5% $31.25
Tier 4
7.5% $18.75
Tier 5
5.0% $12.50
Tier 6
12.5% $31.25
Tier 7
25.0% $62.50
TOTAL
100%
$250

Tiers 4–7 unlock progressively as your active FRC count grows.

03Builder Ranks

Six ranks. One path.

Each rank unlocks deeper Network Growth Allocation access. The top three also qualify for the End-of-Year Trip.

05Beyond Standard

Two additional programs.

RAP and CSP extend the core Contractor Fee architecture for specific scenarios — both layer on top of Standard, neither replaces it.

Retention Program
RAP

Retention Assignment Program

For loan originators already working at a Co-Operate lender client. You earn by retaining them, not by recruiting them in — retention gating applies from Day 1.

  • Same economics as Standard — flat $800 Co-Operator Fee, $250 Network Pool funded by Co-Operate
  • Retention Pillar from Day 1 — no Phase 1 Recruiting allocation
  • Same N1–N4 gating — quarterly service cycle applies
Growth Add-On
CSP

Growth Co-Sponsorship

Two or more Co-Operators share retention work on a placed QI and split the Direct Compensation by trailing 12-month buy-side volume.

  • Volume-weighted split of the 70% Direct Compensation pool
  • Industry Influencer Co-Operators receive a fixed 30% of the Direct Compensation pool
  • 30% Network Growth Allocation stays with the originating Co-Operator
06The Hard Truths

The hard truths.

Because you should never be surprised. All of this is explicit in your Contractor Service Agreement and the Governance & Requirements Document.

No guaranteed income.
Compensation depends entirely on Qualified Individuals placed, loans they fund, and services you complete each period.
Forfeiture is permanent.
Miss a monthly retention service — forfeit that month's Direct Compensation. Miss a quarterly N1–N4 service — forfeit that quarter's Network Growth Allocation.
Your startup costs are yours.
LLC formation, EIN, and E&O insurance are your costs. Co-Operate does not reimburse them.
This is a real business.
Not a side hustle. Not a referral program. You're building a Contractor entity that demands ongoing service delivery, compliance, and active network management.

Ready when you are.

Two paths. Same destination. Choose the one that fits where you are.
