We’re excited to share that BluPrint Home Loans Loan Officer Art Aguilar was recently featured on the Loan Officer Marketing Podcast, hosted by Chris Johnstone.



In the episode, “How Arturo Aguilar Built a $50M Mortgage Business With 90% Realtor Referrals,” Art shares the story behind his growth from approximately $4M–$5M in first-year production to becoming a consistent $50M–$55M annual producer closing more than 200 loans per year.


Relationships at the Center of the Business

One of the biggest takeaways from Art’s story is how he built that growth.

Approximately 90% of his business comes from Realtor referrals, including relationships with referral partners that have lasted six or seven years.

For Art, those relationships go beyond transactions. They’re built through trust, shared values, consistent communication, and delivering a great experience for clients.


Great Loan Officers Need Great Support

Art also discusses the role his team has played in helping him scale. As his production grew, building the right support around his business allowed him to spend more time focused on relationships, borrowers, and business development.


It’s a philosophy we believe strongly at BluPrint: great loan officers need great support.


And Art isn’t finished. His next goal is reaching $100 million in annual production, while continuing to invest in relationships, coaching, social media, and new technology.


We’re proud to have Art on the BluPrint team, and we're excited to share his experience and perspective featured on the podcast.
