Pricing Mortgage Leads
By: Jay Conners
If you are a loan officer or mortgage broker on the market for internet mortgage
leads, than many things will be of importance to you, including the cost of the
lead.
When researching mortgage lead companies, a clear indication of the quality of
the lead you will be receiving should be in the pricing.
For instance, if you take $100.00 and invest it in a lead company in order to
receive 50 leads, you can safely assume that the leads you receive will be very
old and recycled time and time again to other lead companies and countless loan
officers.
On the other hand, if you take that same $100.00 and invest it in a lead company
in order to receive anywhere from three to six leads, you can than safely assume
that the quality of these leads are very good. These types of leads are known as
“real time,” or “fresh leads.”
When it comes to pricing and quality of leads, make sure you do your research.
Be sure to speak with someone in the customer service department and find out
the details of the type of leads they sell, and where they are obtaining these
leads from.
If you decide to buy your leads in real time, and you are paying a good price
for them, there really should be no reason as to why the lead would be any older
than one day. In fact, if the lead is more than an hour old, it cannot be
considered real time.
Remember, you work hard for your money, so the lead company you invest in should
be delivering good quality leads if that is what they are claiming to sell.
If you choose to buy your leads cheap and in bulk, than you can expect the
quality of the lead to be poor. You can also count on hearing things such as “I
did that weeks ago,” or “I just closed on that loan last week.”
Keep in mind, when researching lead companies, do your home work, speak with
someone in the customer service department. If the answers to your questions
don’t meet your satisfaction, than the response to any future issues you may
have, such as a refund, may not live up to your expectations either, so be
careful.
