Making the right mortgage decisions can be more complicated than it appears, and manual data entry, communication tracking, and other common concerns can further slow down the process of getting borrowers approved to move forward with the process of purchasing their dream homes. Fortunately, Mortgage365's digital alternative to completing every step manually can make a significant difference when it comes to reducing errors and making the most of your loan officers' resources. Here are some of the most significant ways in which switching to a digital mortgage processing system can solve common problems associated with traditional manual mortgage processing and enhance the overall productivity and efficiency of your loan officers!
Automated Data Entry and Processing
Organized mortgage processing involves manually entering the same information into multiple platforms, such as your CRM, POS, and LOS. While this is a necessary step in keeping track of various types of data, it can be a tedious process that can result in errors and takes up a significant amount of time than can likely be spent on other tasks. By using a digital platform to automate this essential step in your mortgage process, your loan officers can save a significant amount of time while reducing human error. With this innovative alternative to fully manual data entry, a loan officer only needs to enter each piece of information once and sync that single copy to every necessary program or system.
Improved Lead Management and Tracking
Understanding exactly where every lead is in the mortgage process at any given time is an important step in providing the accurate and personalized service that each borrower expects. The specific types of support that your borrowers need from your mortgage company fluctuate throughout each stage of applying for and carrying a mortgage, and taking the initiative to closely track each lead can help your loan officers make sure that they have the information they need to meet each borrower where they are at any given time.
With a strong lead tracking system, your loan officers can better nurture your leads throughout the entire mortgage process by sending a variety of automated reminders, updates, and other notifications to make sure that no important details are missed. These tools can also help your loan officers follow up with your borrowers after each milestone to help them better understand where they are in the process and what their next steps should look like.
Real-Time Communication and Updates
Strong communication plays an important role in establishing your loan officers as leading authorities in your industry because your borrowers can feel confident that they have all the information they need to make the best decisions for them at all times. Consistently sharing key information about the current status of each loan, next steps, policy changes, compliance requirements, and other important updates is a must, but keeping track of who is supposed to be doing what and whether each type of communication occurs at just the right time can be challenging.
Loan officers that frequently use personal cell phones, email addresses, and other communication methods instead of those that are supplied and monitored by your mortgage company can further complicate this process. Even loan officers that always mean well can forget to send an important update or send a message that falls below your business's professionalism guidelines from time to time, and even minor mistakes that go unnoticed when personal devices are used can add up and impact the reputation of your business over time. Choosing a comprehensive digital mortgage processing system that includes a secure and monitorable messaging option can be a more reliable way for compliance managers and other leaders to make sure that communications are accurate and adhere to guidelines.
Using a communication method that fully integrates with the rest of your business's mortgage processing software also streamlines the process of knowing the precise status of each loan at all times. Being able to see exactly where each loan is and what needs to be done next at a glance makes it easier to keep borrowers informed about status changes and what they should plan to do next regularly, as well as quickly and accurately provide this information upon a borrower's request. With this real-time information, your loan officers can make sure that borrowers always know where they stand, keep their communication with each borrower organized, and keep potential buyers from losing interest in moving forward with your mortgage company because they are not getting the information they need.
Better Data to Support More Informed Decision-Making
Choosing a comprehensive digital mortgage processing platform that smoothly integrates the majority of your mortgage company's digital needs can benefit your company while creating a more streamlined experience for your current and potential borrowers. Using the best tools available can help your loan officers better understand the data that each mortgage application provides, which can help them make faster and more accurate decisions. By synthesizing as much information as you have available, you can avoid missing key details to correctly make lending decisions that help your applicants move forward in the process of purchasing their dream homes whenever possible while protecting your business when necessary.
Our innovative loan simulator tool can help loan officers better understand how specific scenarios might work for a particular borrower and make comparisons between various properties, types of mortgages, and payment plans to find the best possible fit. Your loan officers can then automatically approve the option that is likely to be the best overall option based on all the data that is available or share data-driven recommendations with the borrower to guide them toward selecting the best option.
Loan officers can even experiment with scenarios that show how approving more than the borrower is asking for might provide even better results. Many borrowers will be reluctant to apply for a mortgage they do not think they have a reasonable likelihood of qualifying for, but our loan scenario tool can quickly simulate possible scenarios that go above and beyond what the borrower thinks they want to show them how the right down payment might help them secure a larger mortgage and make owning their dream home a reality.
