Mortgage Market Make Over
Dear Mortgage Professional,
Well a lot has happened since last e-mail update with news from Services-On-Tap. Instability in the real estate market, increases in mortgage foreclosures and the collapse of some large lending solutions have all had a significant impact on the mortgage lending industry. With change, of course, comes new opportunity. Mortgage brokers and loan officers must figure out how to adjust and adapt.
A Mortgage Broker's Action Plan Navigating Forward
1. Qualify AND Analyze. Just selling a mortgage today isn't enough. Take the time to analyze your customer's financial situation to make sure that a new mortgage makes economic sense after they qualify.
2. Build Credibility. Look for ways to increase your credibility with both the customer and the lender. If you volunteer information, you are more likely to build trust on both sides of the equation. Consider outsourcing your loan processing activities to a third party as a means of increasing the credibility of the application.
3. Capitalize on Uncertainty. A recent analysis of web searches suggests that the number of "lead generation" searches has dropped significantly as brokers decide to sit on the sidelines as the industry regroups. This has created a relative calm in an otherwise noisy marketplace and thus makes it a bit easier to get through to both customers and lenders. This is also an opportunity for your company to gain the competitive edge. The time to grow your business is now. Focus harder on marketing and fostering customer relationships.
Services-On-Tap's Contribution
We're trying to do our part to help as well.
New Premium Double Verified Leads launched -
We have launched Premium Double Verified leads – the second best thing to guaranteed apps. Clients for our double verified leads consistently report a 25%+ application rate, and a 15%+ closing rate-
- This means two things. One, we are doing our jobs and two, so are our customers.
These premium leads are created to your criteria from our own managed offshore facility, then quickly and effectively double verified in a efficient consumer friendly way at our Irvine, California office. US based reps handle the quality assurance and perform a live transfer handoff of the interested consumer directly to your loan officers.
New Product Policies : To show our commitment to our customers' success in a rapidly changing environment, we've made three primary changes to our product line.
New Lead Criteria : We've reduced the LTV on our sub-prime mortgage leads in reaction to recent changes in lender requirements. Now all sub-prime leads are guaranteed to be 80% LTV or lower. We've also changed our entire approach to verifying lead quality. Of course all mortgage leads are guaranteed to meet our stated criteria and we have an unlimited return policy.
Reduced Price on Subprime leads : We've reduced our price on Sub-prime leads - electronic and Live transfer leads. They now cost you $5 less for the same quality and guarantees.
New Promotional Price on Mortgage Processing : In an effort to introduce mortgage officers to the flexibility, control and credibility gained by outsourcing loan processing, we've launched an introductory price of just $250. We also do upto 3 lender submissions without any extra cost to you. And we only charge you if the loan closes.
There's a lot happening at Services-On-Tap and we hope to see you on our website soon.
Sincerely,
Lorraine Pereira
