With the real estate industry in what seems to be a constant state of change, only those Mortgage Brokers and Loan Officers that are on top of their game will succeed. You see, while many people are complaining about the current market and dropping out like flies, those that stay involved will reap some huge financial rewards. A true way of looking at it is that the cream will rise to the top and the junk will get thrown away! One way for to stay on top of your industry is to add unique offerings for your current and future clients. The more that you can offer them, the less likely that they are going to consider going somewhere else.There are two ideas that we brought to mortgage brokers and loan officers that made a huge and immediate impact on their bottom line. We first showed them how they could offer products in such a way that their competition could not. We had them go look at clients that could not get approved due to being short on their funds. These clients needed to have a seller take a second on their loan of anywhere from 5-10% to make their loans work and up until now; they were dead in the water. We arranged for them to get these properties all over the U.S. (no matter where the broker worked out of)and in a matter of weeks, they were closing more loans out of their offices than any other competitor. We still do this today and it is an excellent system!We showed them how to make excellent money offering investors (rehabbers), ways to do away with hard money lending. By them being able to go to these in vestors with a way to not have points associated with every deal they do and being able to show the investors how they could make more money and control the entire deal start to finish, the mortgage brokers not only made long term clients out of the inves tors, but they received a healthy, ongoing income stream from our company when we supplied these business lines of credit to the investors. Looking at it realistically, this is an amazing time to be in the industry. Those that choose to would never have made it to the top. By you staying and adding just two ideas into your daily offerings, you can see more success in a really short period of time and one that will continue through any changes the industry can throw at you.
For Mortgage Loan Officers
Leads can be obtained in many ways. Through customer referrals, networking groups, family members, friends, etc.
However, for a new loan officer, you may need to jump start your business, and investing with a mortgage lead company may be the way to go.
You probably haven't heard many good things about mortgage lead companies. However, there are some good ones out there. And if you take your time and do your research, you may just find the right one for you.
Here are a few things to avoid:
Avoid the mortgage lead companies that recycle their leads. Recycling means they sell them over and over again.
So, most likely these leads have gone through the hands of dozens of loan officers before reaching your desk, so steer clear.
Stay away from lead companies that buy their leads from third party companies than sell them to loan officers at a profit.
You never know how many times those third party companies sold those leads to other mortgage lead companies.
In the beginning, your budget may be a little bit tight, so look for lead companies that allow for a low minimum deposit.
Also, look for lead companies that obtain their leads through sites they own and operate on their own. This is always a good indication that the lead is of good quality.
And look for lead companies that sell real time mortgage leads, and/or sell them exclusively. When you buy your leads exclusively you can cut out your competition.
Real time leads are also known as fresh leads, so they are hot off the press once you receive them. With real time leads your closure ratio will be much higher and the return on your investment will be that much better. And why shouldn't it be? You work hard for your money.
