It doesn\u2019t matter what your industry or niche is; anyone would say yes.<\/p>\n<p>We talked earlier about the automation features of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/mortgage-crm-software\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">mortgage CRM software<\/a>, but we were only scratching the surface. Here are some marketing automation features of a mortgage software:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Email marketing with drip emails, autoresponders, email sequences<\/li>\n<li>Lead scoring and lead nurturing<\/li>\n<li>Sales pipeline reporting and forecasting<\/li>\n<li>Contact database with lead capture, contact history, notes, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Campaign management<\/li>\n<li>Web forms and landing pages<\/li>\n<li>Social media integration (for microblogging, Twitter, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can&nbsp;automate follow-up emails, so it\u2019s like you\u2019re at your desk to respond to clients 24\/7. A mortgage CRM can segment customers for you, such as young <a href=\"https:\/\/themortgageagency.com.au\/blog\/what-is-the-first-home-buyer-process-in-australia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">first-time homebuyers<\/a> versus the second or third-time homebuyers in their 40s or 50s.<\/p>\n<p>It can also help loan officers track borrowers looking to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sofi.com\/refinance-student-loan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">refinance student loan<\/a> debt alongside their mortgage obligations, giving a fuller picture of each client&#8217;s financial commitments. This can help you tailor your services to best suit your customers.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, but how do you save big money with a mortgage CRM software? Majorly by reducing instances of mortgage fraud.<\/p>\n<p>Even the most experienced loan officers sometimes can\u2019t sniff out a bad deal until it\u2019s too late. What\u2019s worse is that mortgage fraud is becoming more common than ever in 2021, says&nbsp;Tim &amp; Julie Harris Real Estate Coaching.<\/p>\n<p>Their site mentions a stat from CoreLogic. In the first quarter of 2021, CoreLogic found that mortgage fraud went up by 11.9 percent. That\u2019s dangerously high!<\/p>\n<p>Mortgage fraud can be very detrimental for loan officers and their companies.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-large fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\">With a mortgage CRM software, you can use risk management calculations to determine buyer risk before offering them a loan. This can reduce instances of fraud.<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consistency_and_Productivity\"><\/span>Consistency and Productivity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The process of receiving a loan request and granting it will never be completely consistent due to outside variables such as processing times, collecting relevant documentation, and more. Yet mortgage CRM software can&nbsp;introduce more consistency to the process, and that makes quite a difference!<\/p>\n<p>Through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/marketing-automation-workflows\/\">workflows<\/a>, automation, task management, roles, and delegation features, you can improve efficiency while also maintaining consistency.<\/p>\n<p>With less downtime between receiving a loan application and processing it, more customers might choose your mortgage company because of your faster turnaround times.<\/p>\n<p>This reduces downtime, meaning there&#8217;s less time between applications and processing. People, in general, don&#8217;t like to wait and so this can immensely improve customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-large fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/what-is-a-crm-database\/\">Also read: CRM Database: Overview, Structure, Strategies &amp; Maintenance Tips<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Predictive_Reporting\"><\/span>Predictive Reporting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16749 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/EB-crm-bg.gif\" alt=\"EngageBay mortgage CRM reports and analytics\" width=\"1366\" height=\"656\"><\/p>\n<p>The analytics of mortgage planner CRM is among the top reasons why it\u2019s so valuable for loan officers.

You can also choose one that has features that your particular company needs. For mortgage lenders, that&#8217;s loan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/what-is-a-sales-pipeline\/\">pipeline management<\/a>, loan reports, web-based customer portal, LOS integration, integrated compliance modules, partner marketing, among others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Take advantage of free trials:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/pricing\/all-in-one\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Free trials<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/meetings.engagebay.com\/book-demo\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">demos<\/a> are there for you to decide firsthand whether a particular mortgage CRM software is the right fit for you. Most vendors offer free or at least a trial version.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Choose software that\u2019s easy to use:<\/strong> This tip may seem like a no-brainer, but&nbsp;you\u2019d be surprised! Some companies get lured in by low prices or plentiful features and are willing to ignore the fact that their CRM is clunky or confusing. If you and your team can\u2019t easily use the CRM, then all the time-savings benefits we discussed earlier are as good as gone!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check that it integrates with the tools you use:<\/strong> You know the tools that are a part of your routine as a mortgage lender. Before you commit to a CRM, double-check that it has as many relevant integrations as possible. After all, it\u2019s great when a CRM solution integrates with Zapier or WordPress or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/mailchimp-alternatives\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Mailchimp<\/a>, but if you don\u2019t use those tools, then who cares? These integrations won\u2019t help you at all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Decide a budget:<\/strong> Throughout all this, you and your team must have a CRM budget. Then try to stick within that budget, which is sometimes easier said than done. All it takes is some cursory research to discover that a lot of CRM software solutions are quite expensive!<\/p>\n<p>What is the best mortgage CRM?
