Internet Mortgage Leads Guide

Internet mortgage leads

Each day more and more mortgage consumers use the Internet to study and purchase mortgage loans and mortgage refinancing. A mortgage consumer is a homeowner that is looking to refinance or purchase a new home in the near future.

Basically the mortgage consumers is going to encounter seven basic questions no matter which Internet Mortgage Leads generator they chooses. The mortgage consumer will be asked to specify the state, loan type, property type, credit requirements, Loan to value ratio (LTV), loan amount and ZIP code.

In general, the consumer’s forms will be sold by the internet mortgage leads companies to a maximum of three mortgage lenders, so the consumer can enjoy three competing offers among which to choose with a guarantee that both the mortgage consumer and the mortgage lender are treated fairly

There are several types of internet mortgage leads companies that you can choose from

Basic semi-exclusive internet leads: Basic semi leads are leads that are internet generated usually through bulk email and spam.

Exclusive mortgage leads: Exclusive mortgage leads in my opinion do not exist. It is impossible to guarantee a lead to be exclusive and only sell to you.

Verified mortgage leads: These are mortgage leads that are internet generated and then phone verified for accuracy.

Aged mortgage leads: These are simply old mortgage leads that are anywhere from 7 days – 1 year old.

Live transfer mortgage leads: These are overpriced live leads that ring your phone directly after a telemarketer gets them on the phone and convinces them they need to consult with a loan consultant about their mortgage.

Real-Time mortgage leads: Real-time leads are leads that you get your hands on within minutes or a couple of hours of the borrower hitting the submit key on a mortgage quote form.

A review of the policy of a company is essential before buying mortgage leads online. The lead return policy is the most important thing to look at to establish the percentage of bad leads the company generates. Always see if you can pay with a credit card or check. Never pay by bank wire or money order. Ensure that the company does not use incentives to generate leads, as using incentives leads to many useless mortgage leads. Make sure they are friendly!
