Mortgage originators can stand out for any number of reasons, but in today’s hyper-digital, cutthroat market, the dividing line between remembered and forgotten is often mortgage technology.
Lenders and brokers know that client satisfaction is non-negotiable, so they leverage a menu of software to enhance it:
- Mortgage selection tools
- Smart applications
- Calculators
- Meeting software
- Document managers
- Mortgage strategy apps
- Automatic conditional approvals
- Deal status trackers
- Next-gen websites
- 24-hour chatbots
- Landing pages
- Educational features
- And many others... (Read on for practical examples.)
Thriving in the next decade will hinge more and more on wielding innovative technology. We're talking tech that makes your rivals look like they’re still faxing approvals—tech that:
- Draws leads to your site like a Black Friday doorbuster
- Generates referrals without awkward arm-twisting
- Keeps existing clients loyal
- Is exclusive (because you created it yourself)
