Score big points with your business partners

Written by on February 14, 2006

Mortgage originations are expected to decline by more than 20 percent from last year's level of 2.79 trillion, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association's (MBA) three-year economic forecast. As a result, many mortgage brokers are putting in extra marketing effort to assure they'll have a steady flow of referrals from their business partners.

But to score big relationship points in today's tight market, you need to step outside of the box and get creative. How about giving them their own Mortgage Broker XSite website?

Right now we're offering a special price on XSites in all of our markets (Appraiser, Agent, Home inspector and Mortgage) Buy three or more and they're only $199 each. That's a savings of $400 on each XSite! Think of how easy it is to manage your business with your XSite's online FlexApp 1003, DirectFax, automatic status updates and lead capture tools. Now think of how much more efficient the entire loan transaction can be if all of your business partners use their own XSite with their own set of robust tools and features.

When you purchase an XSite for your partners, you not only earn big relationship points, you make it easier for you to run your own business. Here's how:

Appraisers. When you give your appraisal partners an Appraiser XSite, you can order your appraisals online, get status updates and pay for your appraisals with a credit card. You'll always know what's going on with your appraisal and you'll have quicker turnaround time since all of the tools your partners need are right at their fingertips – whether they're in the office or out in the field.

Agents. With features like Google™ Earth aerial maps, listings podcasting, Flash videos, and multimedia listings pages to impress home buyers and sellers, your agent partners can attract more leads, which can result in more referrals for you!

Home inspectors. An XSite will make your home inspector partners' businesses easier to manage with features like online ordering, automatic status messaging, scheduling, contact management and report delivery. And they don't even have to be in the office – with XSites Mobile they can do it all from an Internet enabled mobile device. That means you can get the deal closed sooner.

Mortgage professionals. While they may not boost your referral business, giving the other brokers or LOs in your office an XSite can reduce the chance of lost leads for everyone. Each broker or LO can generate leads on their own XSite, so the lead won't go to the company website and fill out a loan app with a different broker. The bottom line: Your leads will always stay with you.

We bet your business partners will like their XSite much more than those personalized notepads you gave them last month. The offer ends February 28, so stock up now and give them out later since the sites can be activated anytime within the year of purchase.
