Marketing and Mortgages for Todd Gerleman

A jack of two trades. Minneapolis’ Todd Gerleman has worked within two significantly different fields during his career, but two that both required similar skills toward attaining clients and results.

A graduate of the University of Iowa in 1988 with a Bachelor of Arts in broadcast journalism, it was the lure of sports broadcasting that first attracted Gerleman. For ten years, he shared news about football, baseball, basketball and more with audiences across three television stations in Iowa, honing skills in public speaking and communications. Later, in 2013, he used these skills to begin his own internet marketing company, Gman Marketing Services. Through 2016, he helped clients increase sales revenue and taught people how to market themselves and their businesses.

For more than 13 years, this communications-savvy professional also has worked within the mortgage field, aiding clients in the Midwest and specifically his home state of Minnesota as well as nearby Wisconsin with mortgage loans. This job has long required an ability to speak well, communicate technical terms and strategies toward loan origination and closing -- which he specializes in -- and guide clients through swift processes with ease. Todd Gerleman currently helps clients solely in mortgages through his work as a Licensed Mortgage Loan Originator with American Mortgage & Equity Consultants, Inc. based out of Blaine, Minnesota.

The Life Success of Todd Gerleman

Because he has had considerable business success, Todd Gerleman has largely decided to approach his personal life with the same sort of determination. An avid reader of self-help books written by experts like Zig Ziglar and Brian Tracy, Todd is inspired by people like that and he attempts to apply as much of that knowledge as he can to his professional and his personal life. That’s one of the key reasons he eats a healthy, plant-based diet and why he runs and works out so much. In addition to the health benefits, that level of exercise also relieves most of his stress and anxiety.

Todd Gerleman likes to run marathons, when he isn’t spending time with his family, traveling or watching movies, but he couldn’t do any of it if he wasn’t so good at his job. Todd has been in the mortgage industry for more than a dozen years, so he has seen almost everything, certainly most of the industry’s ups and downs. The only constant in the mortgage industry is change, which is why Todd believes it’s important to always be flexible. Because regulations are always being updated, it is always necessary to adjust to every challenge that comes along.

As Todd Gerleman sees things, his ability to find a mortgage solution for anyone makes him one of the best mortgage loan originators in the business. You can currently find Todd at Finance Of America, LLC, in their Edina, Minnesota office. He loves being able to work there because he has access to many in-house services, such as underwriting and processing, that allow him to get the best deals for his clients without having to traverse the country in search of those services.
