The Alpha Advantage: How Top Brokers Are Dominating 2026

The mortgage landscape is evolving faster than ever, and 2026 is the year to stop chasing the pack and start leading it.

 At Kind Lending, we're doubling down on what matters most: empowering exceptional broker partners to reach new heights. That's why we're thrilled to spotlight the Top Dog Program, a game-changing initiative built to recognize your wins, fuel your growth, and unlock exclusive opportunities that separate industry leaders from the rest.

This isn't just another rewards program. It's a clear, strategic path designed for brokers who are serious about dominating their market and building a business that thrives in any economy.

Three Tiers, Unlimited Potential

The Top Dog Program is structured around performance-based tiers that reward ambition and results. Whether you're establishing your foundation or ready to claim elite status, there's a tier designed for your journey:

Good Dog is where momentum begins. Gain early access to pilot programs that give you a competitive edge, test cutting-edge tools before the broader market, and start laying the groundwork for long-term success.

Big Dog is for brokers hitting their stride. At this level, you'll unlock strategic support from our team, participate in exclusive initiatives, and receive additional rewards that accelerate your growth trajectory.

Alpha Dog is reserved for the best of the best. This elite tier comes with premium benefits designed to amplify your business—think private strategy sessions, priority access to new products, EPO waivers, and recognition that positions you as an industry leader.

New to the pack? Our Puppy tier welcomes emerging brokers with the resources and support needed to build a solid foundation and advance quickly.

Performance That Pays Off

Advancement through the Top Dog tiers is simple and transparent. You qualify by hitting key performance benchmarks including submission units, market share, and pull-through rates. The higher you climb, the greater the rewards, from operational efficiencies that save you time to strategic advantages that help you close more deals.

"We believe that strong relationships are the foundation of success, and the Top Dog Program is all about taking those relationships to the next level," said Delfino Aguilar, Chief Production Officer of TPO at Kind Lending.
