My NEXA Story: From Croatia to America and Finding a Home at NEXAIn January 2019, I made a decision that redefined my career in the mortgage industry. NEXA Mortgage was a smaller brokerage then, with just 50 loan officers. Coming from the retail side, where options were limited, I craved flexibility, better rates, and faster closings. NEXA promised all that, but as someone new to brokering, I wondered: would I have the support I needed?The answer was a resounding yes. After attending a few #WhyNEXA Zoom calls, I made the leap. Over five years later, I can confidently say NEXA has transformed my business and personal growth. We’ve grown from 50 loan officers to over 2,800, becoming the #1 Mortgage Broker in the nation.For me, this journey is deeply personal.Twenty-four years ago, my family and I left Croatia and moved to the USA. It was a leap of faith, leaving behind everything we knew—family, friends, and language—in search of better opportunities. Croatia is beautiful, but opportunities there were limited, and success required significant risk.That leap taught me the power of taking bold steps toward growth. Joining NEXA felt like a continuation of that journey—a new opportunity in a new land. Much like America, NEXA offers limitless possibilities for those willing to put in the work.What makes NEXA unique? We deliver what borrowers and loan officers need most: • Lower rates • Faster turn times • Access to over 250 lenders • Better compensation and controlAdd to that unmatched support, health benefits, and a collaborative culture, and you have a place where everyone can thrive.Through my story, I hope to inspire others to take their own leap of faith. Whether you’re a loan officer, processor, coach, or part of the support team, there’s a place for you to grow at NEXA.If this resonates, let’s connect!
