Colorado mortgage broker wins a la mode Corvette giveaway

More than 5,000 entered in the giveaway to celebrate the one-year anniversary of Mortgage XSites

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK — a la mode, developer of multi-market real estate software and online services, has announced Blake Justus of Clear Creek Mortgage in Golden, Colo., as the winner of a brand new 2005 Corvette convertible. More than 5,000 mortgage brokers entered the giveaway, which was held to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the launch of Mortgage XSites.

With two versions, Standard and Professional, Mortgage XSites offer an affordable website solution for every type of mortgage broker. XSites' customizable themes, Flash intros, pre-built content pages and web tools allow mortgage brokers to make a good impression on prospective clients, while features like automatic status updates, Spanish 1003s, digital signatures, and DirectFax paperless document capabilities help the real estate transaction run seamlessly.

Needless to say, Justus was shocked when he received a call from a la mode executives telling him he'd won the silver sports car. "I couldn't believe it. I was trying to figure out which friend was playing a joke on me," he says.

Justus purchased his Mortgage XSite website, www.clearcreekmortgage.com, in March after working with a trial site for a few weeks. "I like having a professional website I can be proud of and when I meet clients face to face they always tell me they're impressed with it," he says.

The online FlexApp 1003 is one of the most important features for Justus, especially when dealing with out-of-state clients. "It makes it easy to have all of my client's files electronically in one place," he says.

Justus also likes the convenience of the automatic status updates he receives when a client has completed an application. "I often help customers fill out their applications over the phone and just two seconds after we're done, I'll get an e-mail update notifying me that the application was submitted," he says.

"In just over a year, Mortgage XSites have helped more than 4,000 mortgage professionals save time and make more money," said Brad Eaton, Vice President of Mortgage Products for a la mode. "XSites' automatic status updates and paperless document capabilities allow brokers to close more loans in less time – and for a fraction of the price of many other website providers out there."
