Meet Brian Covey, Divisional Senior Vice President at CCM
At CCM, Covey holds the position of divisional senior vice president, where his main responsibility is to recruit large, high-producing teams across the country and assist them in growing their business. This is a role that Covey has excelled in at previous companies such as loanDepot and Movement Mortgage, and it aligns perfectly with his passions.
When asked about his decision to join CCM, Covey mentioned that working alongside a dynamic CEO was a significant factor for him. Ron Leonardt, the founder and CEO of CCM, took the time to understand Covey’s goals and aspirations before offering him a suitable role within the organization.
Covey highlighted CCM’s strong points, including their comprehensive servicing, diverse product offerings, attractive setup for Loan Officers, technological integrations, secondary market capabilities, exceptional sales culture, and robust onboarding process. These elements, according to Covey, are essential for competing with industry giants like Rocket and Zillow.
Having achieved significant growth at loanDepot, Covey is confident in CCM’s ability to surpass $40 billion in loan volume, even in a challenging market environment. He emphasized that CCM provides the necessary resources and infrastructure to support such ambitious goals, with a notable presence of top producers in the industry.
Teams joining CCM have the flexibility to opt for a retail model or a Profit and Loss (P&L) structure. Covey emphasized that the decision-making process is collaborative, involving input from the company’s leadership. He also hinted at the recruitment of top talent to bolster CCM’s ranks.
In a LinkedIn post announcing his move to CCM, Covey, a former professional soccer player, expressed his excitement about the company’s culture. He described CCM as a place where elite performers challenge, inspire, and support each other, reminiscent of the camaraderie found in successful sports teams.
“As an activator, I move fast, love to innovate, and take action. That’s where the magic is. And that’s what CCM is all about.
But beyond the accolades and infrastructure, what truly excites me is the culture: a team of elite performers who challenge, inspire, and support one another, just like the best sports teams I’ve ever been part of.
This isn’t just about me. It’s about who I get to build with next.“
