What are some new ideas to drum up business as a mortgage professional?

Please don't go the "cheesy" route; IE: DITECH\n\n   Your business depends on a client base that is in need of housing certainly, but more important than that perhaps is,,, how active is the "Market" in your area?\n\n   Have you linked up/networked with any well established, possibly return customer, Realtors?\n\n   I enjoy investing in Real Estate, and/or at least constantly shopping it and any options for buying. I don't know the lattitudes you are able to offer as a Mortgage Broker however. Do you own the business? Is it already a well established business? Is it in a decent location?\n\n   Again, I don't know your allowable range of options within the framework of the business, but you might look into offering as many options to buyers as exist,,, IE: SHIP, etc. It may also serve you to offer a customer a referral to another type of lender once in awhile, depending on your ability to loan to them, or their abilities to get a loan.\n\n   Certainly you can do balloons and flyers, radio spots, TV, change the "CURB APPEAL" of your office, change the signing, advertise more extensively in the Yellow pages, hire some clown in a themed suit to stand outside,,,NOT,,,LOL.\n\n   Networking with other brokers and especially with Realtors, who in turn might recommend you to prospectives, might be the better way to go.\n\n   There is no fear that I can see, that the market is going to fall apart anytime soon,,,even with over escalation of prices,,,and no matter that, there isn't anymore land,,, per say.\n\nRev.

Most local mortgage brokers' offices need processors, and in that setting you'd also likely have a lot of opportunity to move up in the organization.  small businesses often provide more opportunity than bigger ones, especially for someone with good experience like you have.

Develop a business plan and take it to the bank. Hope you have good credit or established credit.

Do not sit and wait for something that is possibly only a figment of someone's imagination.  Plus the area that you are in may not apply.  Also, when this happens, it is very possible that interest rates on mortgage are going to start going up quite rapidly.  Buy now.  Most areas are experiencing a buyers market.  Now is the time!!!!\n\nIf you would like lending advice, go to www.americanhm.com/timothy.kaz ee and there is a ton of info on there.  Plus you can even apply online.

Yes. There are tons of options. The best one in my opinion is 100% financing. Contact a local broker who can give you the best rates due to the availability of being qualified with several lenders. They are all competeing for your business.

Network, find places where groups of your target market hang out.  Carry lots of business cards to hand out at a moments notice.  When conversing normally work the conversation around to mortgages.  Know your product and be prepared to answer any question off the hip.  Be relaxed yet knowledgeable.  Don't be afraid of rejection, look for opportunities in the littlest of conversations to tell someone about your product.

See a professional mortgage consultant, there are Lenders that will do five times salary, self cert etc, but your personal circumstances have to be considered.  I wouldn't get involved with teling lenders about lodgers, seek professional advice sweet or you could fall at the start.  K

Going through old files.  Interest rates were much higher a few years ago and a lot of the people with 10% interest rates may be interested in refinancing considering they wouldn't have to add that many more years to their mortgage.  Assuming you're in the mortgage business, that is.\nAnd I know that it's difficult, but cold calling works as well.  Sending out inexpensive flyers works, too.

I would try RegionalMortgages.com\nWhy are you going NoDoc?  Self-Employed?\nIf not try to avoid NoDoc as the rates are typically higher than traditional mortgages.

Depending on the layout of your business plan and marketing plan, I may be very interested in this.  \n\nI am not sure what you mean by being in "conferences".  If you would like, please e-mail me more information on this to timothy.kazee@americanhm.com.  I look forward to a possible business relationship with you.\n\nTim Kazee\nResidential Mortgage Specialist\nAmerican Home Mortgage\nColumbus, Ohio

Call a random mortgage company and ask them this question.

Talk to your bank, and talk to a loan broker.  I have used both with good results.  Your real estate agent should be able to suggest a good loan broker; that's how I found mine.  He put together a reasonable package (it wasn't cheap), and two years later we refinanced into a much more reasonable mortgage.
