More Than Mortgages Serving With Purpose with Jaime Rhude
On this episode of the Studio 321 Podcast, hosted by Steve, Angela, and Jason, we sit down with Jaime Rhude of CrossCountry Mortgage—one of the top 1% mortgage loan officers in the country and a true advocate for her community.
Jaime shares her powerful journey, from growing up with deaf parents—where sign language was her first language—to becoming a trusted voice in the mortgage industry. Her early experiences shaped her ability to communicate, connect, and lead with empathy—skills that define how she serves clients today.
We talk about life as a military spouse, her deep passion for veterans, and how personal tragedy reshaped her perspective on purpose, gratitude, and service. Jaime also walks us through her education-first approach to lending, why pre-approvals matter, and how long-term thinking builds real trust.
One of the most impactful moments of the episode is the story of a veteran many would have turned away—and how Jaime fought to help him secure a VA loan by going far beyond the standard process. This conversation is about more than mortgages. It’s about leading with empathy, showing up consistently, and building a business rooted in service, relationships, and doing the right thing—even when it’s hard.
