On this episode of Broker to Broker, host Marc Summers, President of Membership at AIME, sits down with Samantha Baros, Broker Owner of Integrity Home Loans Inc.



The two discuss how AIME has helped grow her business by providing mentorship, networking opportunities, and community support. As a recipient of the Spark small business grant program, Samantha was able to open her own brokerage and grow her business to do what she does best – helping homebuyers.



She details how she develops relationships with women in her community to build trusted interactions with borrowers, referral partners, and potential clients. “My communication is pretty open across the board. And just knowing that I'm a human and I'm a mom – clients can hear my kids in the background, and they know that I'm a real person. I want people to know that I'm here for them because I'm really passionate about helping them.”
