Women’s Mortgage Network Podcast: Episode 23

About this episode

Melissa Rifai interviews Jade Taylor about her journey in the mortgage industry and serving the Brazilian community.

What if your superpower wasn’t just closing loans, but helping people truly understand what they’re signing for the first time? In this episode, Melissa Rifai sits down with Jade Taylor, broker owner of her own mortgage company, for a beautiful conversation about serving the Brazilian community and building a business around connection, not just transactions. She opens up about the early days when she almost gave up after six months without a single contract, how her husband pushed her to keep going, and what it felt like when that first deal finally came through. Jade also talks about the unique challenges of working with Portuguese speaking clients, from hour long phone calls to recording Loom videos to help them understand every document, and why she wouldn’t trade it for anything. If you have ever considered niching down into a community that needs you, or just need a reminder that persistence pays off, this episode will inspire you.
