Automation for mortgage brokers
Mortgage broker lead follow-up, automated from first click to closing.
Mortgage lead follow-up automation answers every borrower lead within minutes, keeps following up until they respond, chases missing documents, and reminds past clients when it may be time to talk again. Your loan officers spend their time on conversations, not on typing and chasing.

Where mortgage brokers lose borrowers
Borrowers shop. Many request quotes from several lenders or brokers in the same week, often from a portal, an ad or your website, and the first broker who calls back with a clear next step tends to keep the file.
After the first call, deals slow down in the paperwork: pay stubs, bank statements, IDs and signatures chased by email and phone, one reminder at a time. Every day a file waits is a day the borrower might go elsewhere.
And after closing, most brokers lose touch. Past clients are the cheapest source of refinances and referrals, but nobody has time to check in at the right moment.
Mortgage workflows we automate
01
Instant reply to every lead
Website, portal and ad leads get a personal text and email within minutes, with a link to book a call with the right loan officer.
02
Lead routing to loan officers
Round-robin, by state licensing or by loan type, with an alert that includes the borrower's details and answers.
03
Rate-quote follow-up
After a quote, a short follow-up sequence keeps the conversation going and stops the moment the borrower replies.
04
Document checklist and reminders
Borrowers get a clear checklist and automatic reminders for what is still missing; your team sees status without chasing.
05
Milestone updates
Borrowers and referral partners (real estate agents) get updates at each milestone, from application to clear to close.
06
Past-client and refinance alerts
Closing anniversaries, rate-drop check-ins and referral asks, sent at the right time to past clients.

Options for mortgage lead follow-up
| Option | Where it works | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Mortgage CRM automations | Drip emails and tasks inside the CRM you already pay for. | Often limited to email, generic templates, and leads from outside sources can slip through. |
| GoHighLevel set up by a freelancer | All-in-one marketing tool, SMS and pipelines. | Another platform to maintain; integration with your LOS may be thin. |
| Custom automation (PURIST) | Works across your CRM, LOS, portals and phone; personal replies and document chasing in one system. | A monthly or one-time fee: makes sense when a few extra funded loans pay for it. |

Questions people ask
How can mortgage brokers get more from the leads they already have?
+
Reply faster and follow up longer. Many leads are lost not to a better rate but to no reply, or one reply and then silence. Automation makes the first reply instant and keeps a polite follow-up going until the borrower answers.
Which CRM is best for mortgage brokers?
+
Popular options include Jungo, Total Expert, Shape, BNTouch and Salesforce. The best one is the one your team actually uses; automation makes any of them work harder by feeding them clean data and triggering follow-up.
Is it compliant to text mortgage leads?
+
Texting requires consent under the TCPA; we build consent capture and opt-out handling into the workflow. Content rules such as fair lending and advertising requirements stay in your control: we use your approved messages.
Will AI replace mortgage brokers?
+
Not the advice and the relationship. AI is good at the repetitive parts: first replies, reminders, summarising documents. That leaves loan officers more time for the conversations that close loans.
What does it cost?
+
From €890 per month with maintenance, monitoring and updates included, or €1,450 as a one-time deployment.
