The only thing you can really do is help find the best deal if you happen to partner with multiple banks, but even then, anyone could do that themselves by walking into a few branches or just browsing the internet online.
So honestly, I don't see why anyone would ever pay you for your services...
First off, I’m taking your entire response as a personal insult, though I suspect that was exactly your intention. What you wrote above isn't "work"—it's a ten-minute trip to the accounting department. And frankly, we have absolutely nothing to do with that process. That’s what your colleague in accounting is getting paid for—the one you probably have to bribe with a box of chocolates every other week just to keep her from taking her bad mood out on the rest of us.

Look, you clearly don't grasp how we actually operate here, which is why you just blurted out something so incredibly misguided. Either that, or you have absolutely no clue about the sheer number of variables that have to align perfectly just to get a loan approved—especially now that we're dealing with all the red tape from the SEC.
If you have nothing better to do with your life than stand in line just to be fed half-truths and total misinformation, then by all means, stay far away from us. Honestly, if you’re the type who thinks it’s perfectly fine to burn through your vacation days just to deal with some bank loan bullshit, you clearly don't belong here.
Look, let’s be real here. If you’ve lived your entire life without ever touching a line of credit—no car loans, no student debt, nothing—you might think you’re in a position of strength. But if you happen to be lucky enough to pull a decent salary at a top-tier firm like Goldman Sachs or Google, then yeah, sure. You can walk right into a major bank like Chase or Bank of America and they'll hand you a loan. It’s simple math for them.
It’s high time you realized that you have absolutely no idea if one of the other ten banks out there is offering a better rate on a loan. But hey, you think you’ve mastered everything just because you spent a few hours scrolling through the internet, right? You haven't actually lost a single full workday to this process. I'm talking about the real grind: making multiple trips across town, standing in line after line, waiting around for a personal banker to finally notice you, and then spending hours surfing web pages only to realize you have to start the whole damn loop over again once you finally pick which branches to visit. Real research takes sweat, not just clicks.
Back home in the States, you could have gotten that answer in ten minutes flat—and I’m talking completely free of charge. No strings attached, no bill at the end. Just straightforward information, provided without anyone asking for a dime.

The banks and their affiliates are footing the bill here. They have to. We aren't just some amateur operation; we’re professionals. We handle the easy wins—the clients with spotless credit histories—just as effectively as we tackle the absolute disasters. I’m talking about the people drowning in over ten different loans, desperately grabbing at straws just to stay afloat. We fix both, and the institutions pay for our expertise.
We act as external partners to the banks, essentially handing them polished, ready-to-go documentation that requires nothing more than a quick mechanical processing on their end. It’s a seamless workflow. The banks are happy, the clients are satisfied, and the proof is in the referrals—they keep sending people our way. Look, we’ve earned our living the right way. We work hard and play by the rules. But I find myself venting because I’m tired of being lumped in with those shady, fly-by-night operators who ignore every regulation in the book. It’s infuriating when superficial observers can't tell the difference between legitimate professionals and those illegals, and they toss us all into the same dirty bucket. That’s exactly why I felt the need to set the record straight.
You’ve probably never even dealt with a contractor before, because honestly, painting an apartment isn't rocket science.
Either you run your own little side hustle and handle all your own bookkeeping—because why would you pay someone else to do something you can easily manage yourself?—or you're just delusional. To be brutally honest, why are you pulling such a massive salary for a role that your clients could handle on their own? Or better yet, your boss could just find some sucker to do the exact same thing for $333 less.
Just as a quick side note—over in Austria, about 40% of bank loans are processed through specialized agencies...
Best,
