About Mike
Husband and father. Branch Manager. Avid sports fan. Aspiring Renaissance Man. Proud to be part of a company that believes in doing the right thing, doing it the right way, and giving back to our communities, our clients, and our Veterans. We create relationships by doing loans the FAIR way. Michael Swaleh is a long time student and teacher of the mortgage industry, but his path and experiences are a little different. Originally licensed as a Financial Advisor, Mike moved to mortgages in 2006 around the time he earned his Master’s in Business Administration. Quickly, he rose to the management ranks due to an unrelenting focus on accountability, quality and expectation setting. In 2013, he had the opportunity of a lifetime to star on Food Network’s “The Great Food Truck Race” as leader of the Tikka Tikka Taco truck. He brought with him his Army veteran brother and their uncle, and they sought out to win a food truck! After two months, and seven grueling episodes, they took 2nd place out of 8 teams. It was through this endeavor that he was introduced to the world of web-based marketing and Lead Gen. Mike has done it all, and has a lot to share. He graduated with a B.S. in Commerce from Santa Clara University in 2005. Today, his days are focused on growing his team and creating LEADERS. He teaches Systems: Team Growth, Marketing, Loan Process, and Business Management.
"We All Have Bad Days But Our Systems Don't"
Mike is a firm believer in having a system for everything. A system for marketing, a system for your business processes, and perhaps most importantly a system to manage the talent on your team. He chooses to use the Traction EOS model created by Gino Wickman to run his business because he loves the simplicity, objectivity, organization, and clarity that this model brings. One of his favorite sayings is, “We can all have bad days, but our systems don’t”. While traction serves as the backbone, it is a system and not a talent or skill in and of itself. There is much more to learn when it comes to managing personnel. Human beings are messy, but having the right system and the right mentality can put you in a position to succeed.
