At America's Mortgage Choice, we believe that our clients benefit when we can introduce them to like minded professionals for the legal and financial matters that are not mortgage related. Our Financial Planning, Legal, Insurance, Taxation or Realtor Professional partners all increase their income by having a lender relationship with us. We believe that professionals that do not have these relationships are
losing money and clients.
Recently a firm
surveyed over 100,000 Legal, Financial, Taxation and Financial Planning firms across the country and one question they asked was; “in conversation with your clients does the topic of mortgage lending or refinancing ever come up” or “can refinancing be used as a tool for any of your clients needs?” Two out of three responded, “YES.”
They would then follow up with a second question: “Do you have a strong referral relationship with an existing lender or do you let the client select his or her own professional?” NINE out of TEN respond; “I pretty much let the customer select their own lender.”
Surely, you can see that by not introducing the client to an associate for their other professional needs, the client has the opportunity to develop a relationship with a non-competing professional that may have a strong referral relationship with your competitor. |
By not
providing the referral solutions for your clients, you could be left
behind or have your services challenged by a competitor. Having a
trusted mortgage professional to refer your clients to, and to guard
your relationship with them is not an option,
it's a
matter of economic survival!
As hard as it is to find a
good lender, the task of finding a good legal, insurance, taxation, real
estate or financial professional is equally as tough. Just because a
person passes the state bar exam, insurance exam or receives
professional licensing doesn’t mean they are able to serve our clients
at the highest level.
We only team up with proven professionals with the highest ethical
standards who have demonstrated a desire to work in their clients best
interest.
If you feel you meet these standards,
contact us immediately to arrange for an interview.
What
are the most
important things to consider when selecting a lender as a referral
partner?
-
Can they do what they say? Most don't.
-
Are they competent and professional? Most aren't.
-
Is the lender you are working with out to earn a quick buck or are they in the relationship for the long haul?
