Eric Dahlberg
The DahLoanGuy

I've been originating mortgages for 15 years and spent the last 5 with NEXA Lending — the country's largest mortgage brokerage. Before you ask: no, I didn't leave retail because things were going badly. I left because I ran the math and realized I was giving away too much money to a company that wasn't doing proportional work.

My team operates two consumer-facing brands: DahLoanGuy for first-time buyers and traditional home loans, and The DSCR Loan Group for real estate investors. Our lead-capture app, DahPreCheck, runs borrowers through a qualification flow and routes them directly into our pipeline — no third-party lead vendors, no shared leads, no friction.

As a Coach at NEXA Lending University, I train and recruit loan officers who want to build their own production engine. I'll show you the systems, the scripts, the lenders, and the marketing — not just hand you a desk and wish you luck.

If you're grinding through corporate splits and wondering why your paycheck doesn't reflect your effort, I've been exactly there. Let's fix it.

Why Join NEXA Lending

The Platform Built for
LOs Who Produce

Founded in 2017, NEXA Lending is the #1 mortgage brokerage in the United States — not by accident, but because it was designed from day one to put loan officers first. Every tool, every program, and every support structure exists to help you originate more and keep more of what you earn. Here's what that looks like in practice.
🏦
270+ Wholesale Lenders
Access virtually every loan program available — conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, non-QM, DSCR, jumbo, bank statement, ITIN, commercial, and more. You'll say yes to clients others turn away, including borrowers with scores as low as 500 on FHA and VA programs.
💰
Industry-Highest Compensation
Start at 220 bps and earn up to 300+ bps per closed loan. No file fees, no pad pricing, no hidden cuts. NEXA publishes purchase advice on every transaction proving zero margin was added. NEXA100 takes it further — up to 100% of your split.
14–15 Day Clear to Close
NEXA's 36+ commissioned third-party processors are motivated by speed — they get paid when loans close. Faster closings mean more referrals, better realtor relationships, and compounding income over time.
🩺
Fortune 500–Level Benefits
Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, matching 401(k), legal services, and a retirement plan — rare in the broker world. NEXA treats you like a valued employee where it counts, without locking down your production or your independence.
📈
Revenue Share to Retirement
Earn 10 bps on every loan closed by LOs you recruit — across up to 3 downline levels. Your downline pays you even after you retire, even if you leave NEXA. It's residual income built into the platform, not a pyramid scheme.
🖥️
Full Tech Stack — One Low Fee
One monthly tech fee (~$80) covers LOS software (LendingPad), CRM, co-branded borrower portals, a custom website, automated follow-ups, marketing materials, and Loan Officer Support platform access. No à la carte nickel-and-diming.
💵
Daily Payroll — Monday–Friday
NEXA processes payroll every business day. Funded loans typically pay out within days — not the bi-monthly grind you're used to at retail. Cash flow is the oxygen of a growing mortgage business, and NEXA keeps it flowing.
🗺️
Out-of-State Referral Income
Licensed in California but your client is buying in Texas? Refer it to a NEXA LO licensed there and keep 25% of gross margin. Same split if you just don't want to manage a file. A built-in income stream without adding a single new state license.
🎓
NEXA Academy + University
Face-to-face product training, on-demand coursework, live Zoom coaching sessions, NEXA University modules, and the Pathfinder mentorship program for first-time loan types. Whether you're new or seasoned, there's always a level up available.
The Game-Changer in Mortgage Compensation
100 PERCENT.
NEXA 100.

NEXA100 is the boldest compensation program in the mortgage industry. Keep 100% of your commission split — no per-file fees, no hidden corporate margin, no shared upside. What you earn on funded loans is yours. This is your business. Now the economics say so too.

How NEXA 100 Works

Automatic Enrollment — First 6 Months, No Conditions
Every new loan officer at NEXA is automatically enrolled in NEXA100 from day one. No recruitment requirement, no application, no production minimum. It's a built-in signing bonus baked into your commission structure from the moment you join.
Keep 100% After Month 6 — One Simple Requirement
After your first 6 months, maintain just one producing recruit in your Level 1 downline — someone closing at least 1 loan per month — to keep NEXA100 permanently. If recruiting isn't your thing, an upline mentor can recruit on your behalf.
Raw Wholesale Pricing — Zero Markup
NEXA100 lenders include UWM, PennyMac, MLB (Making Lives Better), Deep Haven, and Finance of America Reverse. You access wholesale rates with NEXA's 12% profit margin returned directly to your Growth & Marketing Ledger — not pocketed at the top.
Growth & Marketing Ledger — Reinvest in Your Business
The margin NEXA returns goes into your personal G&M Ledger — a fund you control for marketing spend, tools, Pathfinder mentorship fees, or anything that grows your production. It's NEXA's way of saying: if you grow, we grow.
Correspondent Channel for High-Volume Producers
Closing $12M+ annually? NEXA's non-delegated correspondent channel puts you in control of both front-end and back-end margin — no 275 bps ceiling. Same NMLS, same infrastructure, same payroll. Many top producers run both broker and correspondent simultaneously.
Pathfinder Mentorship — Learn Any Loan Type, Confidently
First DSCR deal? First VA renovation? First reverse mortgage? Pathfinder pairs you with an expert coach who walks through every condition, every document, and every borrower call for a flat 55 bps fee. On NEXA100 lenders, your Growth & Marketing Ledger typically covers it entirely.
"NEXA100 is the most competitive game changer in the mortgage loan industry. It gives our loan officers a shot at making 100% of the loan commission, including a reinvestment into their business — and our clients still get the best rates in the industry."
— Mike Kortas, CEO · NEXA Lending

About NEXA Lending

America's Largest
Mortgage Brokerage

Everything you need to know before making the move — straight, no spin.

NEXA Lending (formerly NEXA Mortgage) was founded in 2017 by Mike Kortas and Mat Grella in Chandler, Arizona. In October 2025, the company rebranded to signal its evolution beyond the traditional broker model — today, roughly 60% of loans flow through non-delegated correspondent channels, meaning loan officers close in NEXA's name with wholesale pricing and can capture both front-end and back-end profit.

NEXA is licensed in 48 states plus Washington DC, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands (currently excluding New York and Massachusetts). With 3,500+ licensed loan officers and over 270 wholesale lending partners, NEXA has processed more than 85,000 home mortgages since inception.

The company operates on two rules: be profitable, and be compliant. Within those guardrails, loan officers run their own business — choosing their lenders, setting their comp, managing their clients, and building their own brand. NEXA provides the infrastructure, licensing, and support; you provide the origination.

  • FHA and VA down to a 500 credit score
  • DrNEXA — physician loan programs
  • Bank Statement programs for self-employed borrowers
  • DSCR, fix & flip, hard money, and investor products
  • USDA, DPA, commercial, ITIN, DACA programs
  • Reverse mortgages and jumbo products
  • Every niche and non-QM program you can name

NEXA's full executive support structure includes a dedicated Executive Leadership team, Loan Officer Support staff, NEXA University instructors, an onboarding department, IT and graphics teams, a Ledger Department, Payroll, Bookkeeping, Marketing, Business Development, Compliance, Non-Del and Correspondent teams, and a Consumer Relations front desk.

When you join NEXA, you're not walking into a virtual mailbox with a DBA. You're joining a company with real infrastructure — and as a member of the DahLoan Team, you have a personal coach (Eric) walking with you from day one.
