If you are a mortgage broker or loan officer on the market for mortgage leads, your best bet for a quick turn around time on a loan is with the refinance leads.

Not to say that you cant have a quick urn around time with purchase leads, you can. But, as you well know, refinancing a persons home can be done in a relatively short amount of time.

Here is something to consider when shopping around for mortgage leads.

Look for the mortgage lead companies that sell their mortgage leads fresh or in real time.

It is basically pointless to purchase a refinance lead that is weeks or even days old.

Most likely the consumer is already working with another loan officer and is half way through the process.

Also, find out how the mortgage lead companies obtain their leads.

Look for the mortgage lead companies that obtain their leads through web sites they own and operate on their own.

Otherwise, they are obtaining them from third party companies and recycling them.

The last thing you want or need is a lead that has gone through the hands of half a dozen loan officers.

Remember, you work hard for your money, so be sure that when you invest with a mortgage lead company that you will be getting your moneys worth.

As loan officers and mortgage brokers there are many avenues to go down in order to obtain mortgage leads for potential loan customers.

Activity is the key to obtaining leads in any sales industry. Sitting idle will get you no where except hungry and out of a job.

For instance, if you have a one oclock appointment with a customer, dont spend your day waiting around to leave for the appointment, build appointments in and around the vicinity of your one oclock appointment.

This can be accomplished in the following way. Cold calling.

The day before your appointment, spend a couple of hours making some calls to potential customers in the neighborhood of your appointment.

Let them know that you will be in the area and you would like to stop by to introduce yourself and drop off some brochures. Keep it short and sweet.

In the mortgage industry your activities consist of many things to obtain leads. Such as chambers, rotaries, customer referrals, family, friends, community involvement, etc.

That being said, it is always nice to have a back up plan for slow times such as summer months and the holiday season.

This is where mortgage lead companies come in.

But just dont go and invest with any old lead company, you want to make sure you get your moneys worth, so do your research.

Check out the mortgage lead companys web site and speak with someone in their customer service department. Find out how they obtain their leads and what the quality of their leads is.

If the mortgage lead company is not obtaining their leads from web sites they own and operate on their own, than most likely they are recycling old leads and will be selling you old junk.

Remember, if you are not happy with the information you gather on their web site or through their customer service department, chances are you wont be happy with the leads either.
