Where do I get good quality mortgage leads?
Asked by Alexis
For anyone that is currently a loan officer, broker, AE, etc. Where do I get quality mortgage leads from? Can I get some good referrals? Exclusive leads that are not over priced. Many of the lead suppliers are big ripoffs and I hear too many bad stories. I need leads!!! Cold calling doesn't work for me. I personally do not buy anything from a telemarketer PERIOD so I do not want to do business as a telemarketer myself. Personally I do not think that cold calls are professional no matter how people swear it's the best way to go. I prefer speaking to people who has requested to speak with me. Please help! Thanks!

Best Answer:
Have you tried trigger leads? At least with triggers you are contacting someone who just tried to qualify for a loan. Some people will argue the use of trigger leads but they have a much higher rate of return than most other methods. There are a ton of sites out there that offer them. However, I've been using Triggerleadsdirect. www.triggerleadsdirect.com. Talk to Amy... you'll get a better deal than the standard $3 per name if you bargain a bit. Tell her Bill refereed you... I might get a discount next time :)

juicyleads e leadz lead2net These are the three my company uses... Right now its a bad time for newcomers, hit the streets, get referrals, and make some friends in the realty industry!

There are lots of lead generation services out there that will offer to help. However the industry has a bad reputation and most mortgage leads are sold many times. This is definitely a business where you get what you pay for, so don't fall for the cheapest leads. I would look for a company that only provides "exclusive" mortgage leads and preferably one that uses telemarketing (even though you hate the idea - it works better to generate leads than using the internet). Telemarketing leads usually have the highest conversion rates.
