About TKM Partners

Your Goal is to tap into additional profits from every customer that walks through your door. Your customers are asking for mortgages and you are giving them away. Smart business owners will find a way to serve their customers and increase revenues with very little effort.

Our Goal is to help you capture additional income from an asset your currently giving away. We want to do it in a way in which you spend minimal time in that pursuit. We set up the mortgage company for you and take care of the day to day operations so you can focus on growing your primary business.

Why work with TKM Partners

Mortgage referrals are an asset. If you have them, then you know you are giving them away. Loan officers make thousands on each loan and they can’t pay you for a referral. All they can offer you is friendship. Our model is to help you capitalize on that asset. We want to create a secondary source of income for you, without taking you away from your primary business.
