To succeed in the mortgage industry, Ben Cohen knows there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.

“My approach remains consultative,” explains Cohen, managing director and senior vice president of lending at Rate. “I try to look at every mortgage with fresh eyes and give every client the best mortgage plan to meet their financial goals.”

Cohen’s approach is rooted in expert guidance, accessibility and genuine care. “I always stay up to date on the latest loan products and platforms to make sure I am best advising my clients,” he shares. “I also take accountability seriously. I’m responsive 24/7/365 — my clients know they can pick up the phone and call or text me anytime.”

Speed, execution and service are at the core of Cohen’s approach. “I’m always looking for ways to improve the process and use technology to give my clients a more efficient and productive experience,” he reports. “From start to finish, the goal is always clarity and efficiency. I’m also passionate about mentoring and education — whether I’m working with clients, lending professionals or real estate partners — through social media, speaking engagements or everyday collaboration.”

Cohen is driven by a deep passion for helping people achieve homeownership. “I advise every client as I would a family member,” he says. “Helping people realize their dreams of homeownership is something I’m truly grateful to be a part of.”
