Prospecting Mortgage Lead Companies

If you are working in the mortgage industry and you are considering a mortgage lead company as one of your mortgage lead sources, this is not such a bad idea as long as you find the right mortgage lead company to invest with.

Essentially, one that will provide you with good quality mortgage leads and a good return on your investment.

There are literally thousands of mortgage lead companies to choose from on the internet and it is better to take your time and research the mortgage lead companies that you are considering in order to avoid throwing your money down the drain through trial and error.

I have heard countless stories from mortgage brokers and loan officers who have lost money to mortgage lead companies.

It is not that difficult to separate the good mortgage lead companies from the bad ones. Here are a few things to look for in a mortgage lead company.

First and foremost, how does the mortgage lead company obtain their mortgage leads?

If it is quality mortgage leads that you are looking for than look for the mortgage lead companies that obtain their mortgage leads through mortgage lead generation web sites that they own and operate.

If a mortgage lead company has the capability to generate their own mortgage leads, than this should be an indication to you that the mortgage lead company can provide you with fresh quality mortgage leads.

If a mortgage lead company is not generating their own leads than it is important for you to find out exactly where the mortgage leads are coming from because you do not want to be wasting your money on leads that a mortgage lead company has bought off of another company at a discount and are now selling at a profit to unassuming loan officers.

This is what is known as selling junk or recycling mortgage leads.

What good will a mortgage lead do you if it has already gone through the hands of a dozen or more other loan officers.

Also, be sure to stay away from the mortgage leads that are obtained through spam campaigns where the customer is bribed into filling out a home survey with gift cards to home stores.

No doubt you will end up spending your money on leads where the costumer was interested in a free gift and not a mortgage.

Also, while doing your research, be sure to speak with someone in customer service or the sales department and ask as many questions as you feel appropriate. And, if you are not happy with customer service or the answers to your questions than chances are you will not be happy with the mortgage leads.

You work hard for your money so dont be so quick to jump on board with the first mortgage lead company you come across. Read their web site, speak with someone in customer service, feel them out and find a comfort level, etc.

Taking your time and researching mortgage lead companies will not only save you money. It will make you money as well.
