How A New Mortgage Lender Built Community, Partnerships, And Momentum In Western North Carolina with Haley Gant
Thursday, 22 January, 2026
What if rebuilding your career didn’t start with ads or a perfect website, but with a simple question: who do I need to help first? That’s the heartbeat of our conversation with mortgage lender and real estate investor, Haley Gant, who moved from Houston to Western North Carolina, weathered Hurricane Helene’s fallout, and rebuilt by doubling down on people, process, and patience.We dig into the decisions that matter when money is tight and time is short: why a CRM is the first real investment, how “boots on the ground” weekends at open houses create authentic partnerships, and the difference between being seen and being useful. Haley opens her playbook on local networking in Hendersonville and Asheville—from FABA and the Chamber to Hive—and shares why hosting meetups and classes can change your trajectory faster than buying leads. Along the way, she explains how buying a Brevard cabin as a short-term rental shaped her approach to lending, wealth-building, and advising first-time buyers and investors to ignore headlines and act on their own timelines.This episode is packed with practical tactics and a clear mindset: commit to the long game, set weekly learning goals to master complex loan products, and plan your entire year so life experiences land on the calendar before everyone else’s priorities do. If you’re launching a local service business, growing a mortgage practice, or trying to restart after a setback, you’ll leave with a simple, repeatable blueprint for momentum built on real relationships.If this conversation helped you think differently about growth, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s building something, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway so we can keep bringing you more founder playbooks.Guest contact info:Email: hgant@nexamortgage.comWebsite: www.EliteMountainMortgage.com Thanks for Listening.
