In recent months, “Borrower Collaboration” has proven to be a hot topic surrounded by much discussion. However, it has been widely misconstrued in how it fits in with the current mortgage procedure. We’d like to clarify what it really means and the effects it has on inclusion in the closing process. Here are 3 Misconceptions of Borrower Collaboration:
Engaging only at the beginning of the loan embraces full Borrower Collaboration.
So many people believe that Borrower Collaboration is something that can be achieved with only the application or searching for a Loan, and then no other touchpoints throughout the mortgage process. Technically, yes, you “collaborated”, however, true Borrower Collaboration spans beyond an online origination, engaging and collaborating with consumers from the beginning of the transaction through closing, servicing, and eventually the next loan. Borrower Collaboration should be viewed as a situation where once you are connected, you are connected for life, constantly updating and engaging with borrowers.
Collaborate and done; no relationship required.
Borrower Collaboration is communication with only the Borrower.
The old adage, “it’s much cheaper to keep a customer than get a new one,” now applies more than ever before. Here at Pavaso, we turn a mortgage into a lifetime electronic relationship where customers build loyalty to those who engage with them. As if it could get any better, this connection with Borrowers also reduces expenses, creates new revenue, produces fewer errors, features higher security, and allows for faster closings.
