February 2021 Newsletter
Thank you for your support

February was full of all-time bests at Agave. We broke records for:
processed loans in a single month
95% of our December clients have already closed
most client applications taken by a single loan officer
most client closings by a single loan officer
most clients helped in a single month as a company
most applications taken in a single month as a company
passed 100 5-star reviews on google
We've been increasing production and growing our business while continuing to achieve 5-star ratings on Google. It's our company commitment that growth will NOT happen at the expense of our client experience. In fact it's the exact opposite. The commitment to a quality experience will be the driver for our growth.We are proud to grow this business through word-of-mouth and are appreciative of the folks reading to make this happen.

We have had 4 main driving forces since starting this business over a year ago.
Make a positive impact on our clients' finances
Make a positive impact on our team members
Make a positive impact on the communities we serve
Be a financially stable business that allows us to do 1-3 at the highest level possible for a long time
One of our mottos is that actions = results. The actions we're taking with ensuring our rates and costs stay lowest in the industry combined with strong communication are helping to drive mission #1. We obsess over what we call the trifecta with our internal team members. The employee trifecta is strong earning potential, skill development, and loving their work environment. These simplified focuses allows us to stay honest on whether we truly are a great place to work. With that being said, we are hiring and will provide the training! Interested? Check out our careers page.For driving force #3, we've set up a campaign to help an incredible business in the Valley called Spencer's Place. Spencer's Place employs people with special needs that might not have been given job opportunities else where. They are a coffee shop and bakery supporting a non-profit called Employed and Overjoyed. You can find out more here and can find an interview with our very own Director of Processing, Alex Nickell, and his brother, Spencer Nickell (of Spencer's Place). In March and April, we'll be shifting our community focus to Pat's Run and raising money for Veteran higher education opportunities. Our leadership team has been challenged to achieve personal best times on the 4.2 mile run in honor of the late Pat Tillman. Each of our employees randomly drew a leader they'll be motivating throughout training and when the leader hits their personal best, the employee can earn bonuses or donations on their behalf. Agave is about playing positive sum games where all players can benefit.Agave has become more than a business with a mission of helping people define and achieve their financial goals. It has become a place our employees actually enjoy coming to each day. A place where we are all constantly challenged, encouraged to innovate through execution, and incentivized to provide value to everyone we interact with.
