A great writer once said “East or West, home is best”. All of us would like to own a beautiful house. To some it’s easy; for most others it isn’t. Should the latter simply abandon their `dream’? Not necessarily, thanks to Mortgage Lead Companies.
When a prospective homeowner approaches a Lender Organization for a mortgage loan, she is asked to fill up a `Form of Request’ for the loan, known as `Mortgage Lead’. The Lender assesses the application and, if it qualifies, approves the loan. This is the most direct way of handling the process. But often, people find it so time-consuming and sometimes confusing that they seek an independent Mortgage Broker to develop the Lead and submit it to the Lender. Today, there are several Mortgage Lead Providers that specialize in developing an appropriate Mortgage Lead for the Borrower by `generating’ the Leads [the term `generate’ means `develop’ in mortgage marketing industry].
Whether handled by one’s self or using the services of a Broker or a Mortgage Lead Provider, Mortgage Leads are ultimately sent to prospective lenders. Sometimes, several leads are sent to one Broker or Lender. Such leads are known as Exclusive Mortgage Leads. As the exclusive lead process is on a `one-to-one’ basis, the business relationship is stronger and more long-lasting than in non-exclusive lead processes.
A Mortgage Lead [the Form of Request for Mortgage Loan] includes details such as date of application, personal information [Name, Address, City, State, Zip Code and Phone and email ID], loan and property information [Purpose of Loan, Type of Collateral Property owned, Property Value, Loan Amount sought and Down Payment] and any other relevant information such as borrower’s age, occupation, annual income and credit report.
The borrower’s chance of obtaining a loan depends heavily on the data disclosed, particularly Credit Profile, as documented in the Mortgage Lead. If the Borrower has a good Credit Profile, the chances of his or her dream house coming true are greater. Exclusive Mortgage Leads are a gateway through which Mortgage Brokers and Lenders build their business and reputation.
