Valuable Leads and Tools for Mortgage Brokers

As a mortgage broker, you know how important it is to have new leads. Can you honestly say that you always have access to the kind of high-quality leads that can grow your business? If you’re like most mortgage brokers, it’s feast or famine – but finding the right source of stable leads can change all that. 

What are the best sources for new leads?

• Partnerships: Your clients will need a real estate agent after they get pre-approved for a loan. Homeowners and home sellers will work with a real estate agent before they choose a mortgage broker. If you haven’t got real estate agents in your contacts list, you’re leaving money on the table. Create mutually-beneficial business partnerships with real estate agents in your area – especially those who don’t have contacts in the mortgage industry.

• Leverage social media: If you only network face-to-face, you’re missing a world of online business opportunities. Once you build brand pages and social media accounts for your mortgage practice, you can like, share and comment on the content being shared by other real estate professionals. With the right social media presence you can network anywhere, anytime.

• Offer content: The internet can be a great place to find new clients. In addition, traditional advertising campaigns don’t always connect with online audiences. When it comes to the internet, “content is king.” If you want to promote your business, you should create articles, podcasts, infographics, and videos that demonstrate how you help customers during the home buying process. The more content you create, the more you can showcase yourself as an expert, create backlinks to your site, and give your leads a reason to contact you.

• Leverage Google for free: Did you know that you can promote your business on Google without paying a cent? Simply sign up for a service called “Google My Business” which was formerly called “Google Places.” This site allows you to put your business’ name, phone number, and physical location on their map system at no charge.  When people Google “Mortgage Professionals” in your area, your info will pop up.
