TOM COUTURE

“I wanted to re engage and fall back in love with the mortgage industry while helping borrowers achieve homeownership. Cindy’s program gave me the tools to create a clear vision for both my business and personal life—helping me prevent burnout and build a future I truly want. It has been a game changer in defining my path to success."
Jennifer Fairfield

Cindy Ertman’s Mortgage Mastermind Elite Coaching Program is the #1 reason my business is exploding!! Her tools and techniques are 2nd to none, but more importantly, she has taught me how to be real and intentional in my business!! Her coaching has been an amazing game changer for my personal business and my branch and the results speak for themselves. My production started at $20 million and now I’ve grown my branch from 2 loan officers to 10 and we’re on pace for $100 million in volume!! Cindy truly cares and puts her heart and soul into the success of her clients. I highly recommend anyone who is seeking a mortgage coach to join Cindy and her Mortgage Mastermind Elite group. You won’t be disappointed!
JEFF OHM
Producing Branch Manager | Forward Loans
My coaching experience has been a life altering event. I increased my production by over 30% and closed over $100M in my first year. Today my production is in excess of $200M. I am working fewer hours, have become a true leader to my team, and have been able to identify my “value” proposition for myself, my team, and my life.

“If you are ever doing something that matters to you and you feel that tension, it doesn’t mean you don’t belong, it actually means that you do.”

Senior Loan Officer,

“In less than a year, I'm on track to doubling my average monthly production, and experiencing a joy for the business that had been absent for years."
Getting coached by Cindy Ertman through her MME program was one of the best decisions I've made. Not only did Cindy help me get focused on very specific business practices to help me grow my production, but more importantly helped me get my heart connected to my daily business activities.
Getting intentional about discovering what gives you purpose makes growing your business a joy instead of a grind; Cindy and her program helped me down that path. In less than a year, I'm on track to doubling my average monthly production, and experiencing a joy for the business that had been absent for years. MME is a commitment you won't regret.

Mortgage Loan Originator

“I’ll never forget walking into one of the MME groups for the first time. Every single person was raving about how their lives changed forever. How Cindy has a special gift. How their production massively increased. How they found balance. I mean all of them had a story to share! I was blown away.”
Cindy, this event is special. I am so happy you are launching another one because that means more lives will be changed. Your guidance and counsel have been invaluable to me and I will always be grateful for that.
RENE RODRIGUEZ
Keynote Speaker & CEO of Volentum
I am incredibly grateful that I took the step to sign up for Cindy Ertman's coaching program. It turned out to be the best decision I've ever made for my business. Having been coached by several others in the past, I was amazed by how Cindy's coaching far exceeded all my expectations. Throughout the year of working with her, my business experienced tremendous growth – even during a challenging time in the mortgage industry.
One of the standout aspects of Cindy's coaching was the collaborative environment she fostered among the loan officers in the program. The personal bonds we formed and the exchange of ideas have left a lasting impact on me. Moreover, the caliber of guest coaches she brought in was a game changer. Their insights and guidance added immense value to my journey.
