The Hidden Benefits to Mortgage Tech
When you think about the hidden benefits of mortgage tech, what comes to mind? Maybe itâs easier data collection and management. Or maybe itâs better customer service by building a better relationship with your clients. Maybe itâs increased productivity or higher quality of work. Or maybe itâs all of those things and more!
In this article we will explore the top 5 benefits that mortgage tech brings with it.
1. Easier data collection and management
Mortgage brokers often collect a large amount of information from their clients, but it can be difficult to manage all of that data effectively. This can lead to errors in the process preventing you from being able to provide your clients the best service. However, the adoption of technology can help solve this problem. A mortgage tech platform can make data collection and management easier, more efficient and accurate.
The ability to collect more accurate information increases your ability to make better decisions about your businessâa critical benefit for any company trying to maximize its productivity. In addition, if your business relies on email as a communication tool (which many do), having a secure way of sending and receiving messages and data will go a long way towards improving productivity while also increasing security.

2. Better customer service
Customer service is a major focus for many companies these days. According to Forbes, â84% of companies that work to improve their customer experience report an increase in their revenueâ.
By using technology, you can have automatic stay-in-touch points and different levels of personalization in your communication. With that you can expect to create loyalty from your borrowers. And âloyal customers are 5x more likely to purchase again and 4x more likely to refer a friend to the companyâ, according to Forbes.
When it comes down to it, everyone wants their problems solved as quickly as possibleâand if youâre able to resolve issues quickly and easily (without making the client feel like an inconvenience), then youâre likely going win some new fans in the process!
3. Increased productivity
A big part of being productive is having a streamlined workflow. When there is so much going on at once, it is easy to lose track of things or get overwhelmed by the amount of work you have to do.
By using technology, youâll be able to streamline your process so that itâs more efficient than ever before. With streamlined workflows and automations you can reduce time to complete tasks, increasing customer satisfaction and revenue.
What does that mean in practice? If youâre working on a few different deals at once or have multiple deadlines coming up, youâll know exactly what needs to be done next! Without having to keep track of everything in your head.

4. Higher quality of work
Adopting technology into your business practices makes less room for errors as everything is done electronically rather than manually. This means you can standardize a process, so nothing falls through the cracks.
By making sure the work is done right the first time, youâre saving yourself lots of money in terms of staff time and resourcesâand also reducing customer frustration (and lost business) when errors are made.
Having a system in place means you can easily make changes to customer experience or processes as needed. And all without disrupting customersâ current workflow.
5. Save money on overhead costs
If youâre like most mortgage brokers, you probably spend some time on tasks like creating and sending documents; maintaining client records; keeping track of files and paperwork; communicating with clients via email or phone; managing invoices and payments from clients, and more.
Have you ever thought about how many tools you use in a day to make sure that nothing falls through the cracks? Or how many times do you have to switch from one tool to another?
The right technology can reduce the number of tools and apps you need while increasing efficiency and saving money. And if you use it well from the start, itâll delay or prevent the need for an assistant or other staff member!
