How The Mortgage Calculator Was Created
The founding story of The Mortgage Calculator is a remarkable narrative of innovation, adaptability, and strategic foresight in the realm of mortgage lending.
In 2019, Nicholas Hiersche built upon a foundation of advertising and marketing expertise dating back to his first corporation in 2004 to create a groundbreaking lead generation model for the mortgage industry. With extensive experience in leveraging internet and technology for scalable lead generation, Nicholas had also operated an advertising agency that provided consultative services across various industries, notably aiding real estate agents and mortgage loan officers.
What began as a marketing plan for an FDIC bank soon evolved into a dedicated team running a high-volume mortgage lead generation campaign. This initiative marked the inception of The Mortgage Calculator, originally envisioned as a team within the bank.
Recognizing the limitations of the FDIC bank model—especially as the COVID-19 pandemic rapidly increased demand—Nicholas transitioned operations to the nation’s largest mortgage broker. The team grew to over 400 licensed mortgage brokers before recognizing further limitations of the broker model, particularly regarding Non-QM lending.
In response, the company transitioned to a Non-Delegated Lender model, a pivotal shift that enabled rapid growth to over 400 loan officers.
The final transformation came in 2022, when The Mortgage Calculator officially became a Licensed Mortgage Lender, fully embracing a Non-Delegated Correspondent model. This step allowed the company to optimize its unique business approach—unshackled by previous limitations—and bring its innovative model directly to borrowers and investors.
The story of The Mortgage Calculator is one of strategic thinking, adaptability, and technological innovation. From its beginnings as a small team within an FDIC bank to becoming a leading licensed mortgage lender, the company continues to revolutionize the mortgage industry through cutting-edge technology, real-time pricing, and advanced lead generation systems.
Every day, The Mortgage Calculator strives to provide clients with unique solutions, easy-to-use technology, and exceptional customer service.
