Company Owner Is Still In Trenches,
Seeking Leads
As featured in National Mortgage News, DEC 28, 2012

Ken Perlmutter remains a top producing day-to-day originator,
giving him a perspective he shares with his sales staff.
When it comes to providing advice to a sales staff, Ken Perlmutter,
who is one of the owners of Perl Mortgage, can do so with some
authority and talk with them about dealing with current business
conditions. He finished 45th on the 2011 Origination News top 150
producer list, with $75 million. With 2012 ending today, he has
originations of $57 million. Perlmutter got into the mortgage business
from doing sales for Allen Bradley.
At the time he started in the business in 1993, his wife was pregnant
with their first set of twin boys (four years later they would have
a second set of twin boys) Perlmutter was looking to start saving
for their college educations so they could attend any school they
desired. So he started moonlighting in the mortgage origination
business.
“I saw how much money he was making and I realized how long it took me and how much work I had
to do to make that amount of money doing what I did for a living,” so Perlmutter asked the originator if
there was any way he could get into the mortgage business.
He started working at night, working telemarketing leads and did that for several months. But having
an entrepreneurial bent, with a wife who at the time owned her own business, Perlmutter opened Perl
Mortgage in October 1994. He brought in a partner, Steve Laner, in 1998. Both are top producers and that
gives them that unique viewpoint when it comes to dealing with the sales force.
“We’re a pretty good-sized company and the owners are producers. We get it, we know what our loan
officers go through because we live it every day,” Perlmutter said. “I’m in the trenches every day.”
The company prides itself on the number of high-volume producers it has working there. Perl Mortgage
has five people on the ON Top 150 list, including Laner at No. 86. He said any tools that he needs to write
a loan is the same as any of his producers big or small need. He works with the people who produce $50
million and those who do just $10 million or $20 million.
“I know what it takes to get it done,” and (he) has a feel for what these originators need in terms of support.
Perl Mortgage has “an amazing management team” which he supervises, plus he still enjoys writing
loans. As for the support the company provides its staff, it has a loan officer assistant program, where
each LO is teamed up with an assistant; high-volume producers get a dedicated assistant.
“We rather have the sales people go out and sell as much as they can and we’ll give you some support
in the office,” Perlmutter said.
He has been able to accomplish the financial security he wanted when he started in the mortgage
business. The older boys are sophomores at the University of Michigan while the younger ones are
sophomores in high school.
By doing the right thing for the consumer, it ends up being the right thing for his business. And both
individually and as a company he is poised to capitalize on the years ahead, helping qualified borrowers
get the money to purchase a home.
