We know you’re tired of receiving “checking in” or “where are we at?” emails from your borrowers & partners? That’s why we created Mortgage Circles. It’s a white-labeled tool that you can offer to your borrowers & partners that’ll empower them to interact with you, loans and shared clients online. How does it work?
You’re a loan officer, when you a new potential borrower is added into your BNTouch CRM they will have a digital loan portal automatically created for this. Your CRM will be able to automatically send them an email that’ll supply the login and password to their portal which they’ll be able to access through mortgagecircles.com or by downloading the Mortgage Cirlces Mobile App. From there they’ll have full access to their 1003 application, their loan status, the ability to e-sign & upload docs and much more. It gives them easy and automated access to be able to work with you and their loan on their own time and from anywhere. Portals created for your Realtor partner and loan participants would work the similarly yet partner portals would have a different set of features once logged in.

Mortgage Circles:

Once your borrower or partner has had their portal automatically created for them by your CRM, they’ll need somewhere to go to login to it. This is where Mortgage Circles comes in. Just direct your borrowers or partners to the Mortgage Circles website or fully fleshed out mobile app. These portals will be white labeled to your business, they’ll feature your name, face, contact info and company logo. So when a borrower or partner goes to download the app, they’ll think it’s something proprietary to your company that you created to make their experience easier. It’s a great selling point for anyone to work with you instead of your competition. You’ll even be able to set up your CRM so that all login, links and app download info can be sent to your borrowers & partners automatically once they’re in your CRM. Thus removing a massive chunk of work with potentially hundreds of people from your plate in a snap.
