How RCN Protects Broker Relationships with Transparency & Tracking

Written by RCN Capital | Jul 7, 2025 3:30:00 PM

Brokers are up against more competition and higher stakes than ever in 2025. With mortgage rates hovering around 6.8% and private lending surpassing $2 trillion, closing deals quickly is critical—and so is protecting client relationships along the way. Too often, though, brokers are left chasing updates or getting sidelined by lenders after doing the legwork.

If you've ever lost a deal after putting in the work, you know how frustrating it is. We've heard the same from countless brokers. That’s why RCN Capital built its broker-first process with transparency, communication, and protection at the center of every transaction. We believe brokers deserve a lender that works as hard for their success as they do.

Here’s how we help you stay in control, earn reliably, and protect your pipeline from day one.

The Challenge: Poor Communication and Lost Trust

You submit a deal and hear nothing back. Clients start asking questions, and you don’t have answers. In fact, 42% of brokers say slow or unclear communication is their biggest pain point with lenders.

We’re here to change that.

Our Answer: Transparent Mortgage Lender Communication

When you partner with RCN Capital, you’re never left in the dark. You’re assigned a dedicated lending team, and you can expect 24-hour pre-approvals and real-time updates. Whether it’s an appraisal status or a closing date, we keep you in the loop—because you deserve to know exactly what’s going on.

Protecting Broker Relationships in Lending

One of the main concerns that brokers have is client ownership. What if a borrower goes around the broker and deals directly with the lender? Our BLN platform takes care of it. When a borrower applies through your branded portal, we tag them in our system. If they come back to RCN, BLN immediately assigns the deal to their previous broker. That ensures you always get credit for your effort, and your relationship with your client stays strong.

Broker-Friendly Private Lending Platform

RCN's Broker Referral Program has flexible levels of participation, so whether you like passive referrals or actively managing deals, you get to choose how much time you invest. We pay competitive compensation on yield spread, points, and fees—all disclosed initially on the commitment letter and HUD settlement statement. No surprises, no kickbacks—just transparent, consistent earnings.

A Platform Built for Brokers

The BLN Loan Management System was built to streamline your day-to-day operations:

  • White‑Labeled Application Portal: Your branding, your URL, your leads.
  • One‑Click Credit & Background Checks: Speed up underwriting with instant pulls.
  • Milestone Email Notifications: Automated alerts at every stage—from document upload to funding.
  • Broker Commission Reports: Real‑time visibility into your fees and payouts.
  • Comprehensive Rehab Budget Analysis: Integrated tools to assess fix‑and‑flip and other renovation projects.

By consolidating pipeline management, document gathering, and lender referrals on a single secure cloud platform, BLN eliminates back‑and‑forth by as much as 50 percent and enables you to close more loans without increasing headcount.

How Lenders Support Brokers Every Step of the Way

Your RCN lending expert takes care of the important details—they order credit reports, confirm underwriting conditions, arrange closings—so you can concentrate on finding deals. When questions come up, you have direct access to underwriting and funding teams, instead of waiting days for an email response. This hands-on service means smoother closings and more satisfied clients.

Building Trust through Data and Accountability

Confidence comes from data. Our analytics dashboard shows you loan timelines, approval rates, and conditions—all in real time. Brokers using this data close more loans and generate more repeat business. Why? Because their clients trust them to deliver. Brokers who utilize these insights see a 25 percent year-over-year increase in referral volume.

Putting It All into Practice

Picture this: you submit a DSCR rental loan. Within minutes, credit is pulled. You get alerts for underwriting, appraisal, and term sheet progress. Your client uploads documents to your portal. You focus on strategy—we handle the rest.

That’s what transparent, broker-first lending looks like.
