CMS vs. Edge. Same broker roots, different kind of support.
Edge is a pure broker built for experienced, self-sourcing loan officers who want to run things their own way. CMS is a broker too. The difference is how much of the work around each loan you carry yourself.
Quick answer
If you have your own processing, marketing and follow-up dialed in and you mainly want broker pricing and a strong payout, Edge is built for that. If you want the back office, follow-up and playbooks handled so your time goes to selling, CMS is built for that. We pay on a tiered plan tied to your production, and we'll run your real numbers with you on a call.
