The In's And Out's Of Mortgage Websites For Brokers And Loan Officers
One of the most profitable low-cost investments you can make in your business is to have a mortgage website that not only creates your company s online presence, but also up-sells the customer on your products and services.
But finding a website provider that does the job effectively is not always easy.
To create a mortgage website you have three choices:
-- AD END -->
1. Go it alone and design it yourself.
2.
Hire a web design firm to custom build a mortgage site for you.
3. Use a ready-made instant website from a design company that specializes just in the mortgage industry.
There are advantages and disadvantages to each. Yes, you can create a website yourself from scratch and maintain full control over is, but how much time will this really take? How professional will your homemade site look?
And, if it takes you 30 to 40 hours to create the website and get it up and running, this is time taken away from your existing business and potentially lost sales.
The total cost to design your website, isn t just the site itself, but also the opportunity cost of losing your time. Not to mention, the frustration of dealing with unfamiliar technology.
If you decide to hire a firm to design your site as a custom build, then you should know that these services come at a hefty price usually 2 to 3 thousand dollars upfront and an ongoing maintenance and hosting fee. Think about it, every time you want to update or change the site, you will be charged another $100 to $150 for design work.
Not only have you lost control over the site, but the costs can quickly mount.
The third choice is to use one of the ready-made instant mortgage website templates put out by design companies that specialize just in the mortgage industry. These people have already done the work for you, and it s simply a matter of choosing the types of interactive features you want to put on your website. You can even modify and update your website yourself, right through your web browser.
If you can type a letter, you can manage your website. It s that easy!
Things such as having an online 1003 loan application, current mortgage rates, bond index, feedback form, etc.
are all features that will enhance your online image. In today s world, these aren t just nice extras to have--they are necessities.
Consumers today expect a certain level of professionalism, especially if they are going to trust your mortgage company and do business with you.
With all the fly-by-night firms out there, you can t afford to take a chance with a lackluster amateur image. This is especially true if you deal with customers mostly over the phone and NOT in person. The website may be the only chance they get to meet you.
Before committing to any web design company, here are some things to consider:
* What is the upfront cost to get started?
* What is the ongoing monthly cost?
* Who pays for the hosting of the site and is that included?
* Who owns the rights to the website?
* Can I use my own website domain name or do I have to use yours?
* What interactive features do you offer?
* Do these interactive features cost extra or are they included in the price?
* Can the website download a 1003 application directly into Calyx point, so I don t have to retype the information?
* Are the mortgage rates and bond information updated in real-time on the site?
* How many other sites similar to mine are already out there?
* Do you offer just one type of mortgage website or do you have a number of choices?
* How do I update my website?
* Can I update the website myself via the Internet or do I have to have one of your designers do it?
* How do I do this, if I am computer illiterate ?
* Do you have a free trial so I can test out your services to see if I like them?
* Do I have to get approval from my mortgage net branch before I can put a website up?
* What happens if I change mortgage companies?
These are just some of the questions you need to ask no matter which service you choose.
Yes, designing a website yourself gives you the ultimate control over the look and feel of the site, but it comes with a price. Since most mortgage company sites are the same and have the same types of features (online application, rate watch list, bond info, etc.
), why not use the services from a company that has already done the work for you?
Not only will the site be up and running quicker, but you ll have a lot less headaches in the long run.
Bottom line, my recommendation is keep it simple, and use one of the existing mortgage website tools out there.

Former
House and Motel Cleaner now earns 82k
a Month using a Fully Automated and Turnkey
Home Income Portal Franchise
|
|
|
|
I
quit my Job in September 23rd 1998
|
|
|
|
My name is Carmen
SanDago, I have been earning a full-time income online
now for over 9 years.
I used to be a office and motel cleaner earning minimum
wage on a contract by contract basis. My
Husband is a construction worker that enjoys
his beer and his television. He is
always Laid Off and we were just getting
by on my income.
We both know that in today's day and age that
doesn't really pay the bills.
I stumbled upon a work at home
business that changed everything for us.
I
have no pedigree, I am a high school
dropout from a broken family, and I worked
cleaning other people houses and a second
job cleaning motel toilets and dirty linens
on a room by room basis to make ends meet.
At
the end of the day - I was dead on
my feet, and I still have to cook dinner
and straighten up my own home. Having a
baby was like a visit from an angel.
I was
forced to stay at home after my baby was
born, the problem was - We had no income.
My construction worker husband worked a
few days a month, the rest of the time was
tinkering on our $500.
00 second hand car,
and sports replay on the Television.
Having
to stay at home after my baby was born,
I inherited a $3,000 Hospital Bill, I almost
wished the Hospital kept the baby to pay
that bill.
Of course not, I will never give
up my baby - but ... (you know .
.
.) but
I was very scared.
We were forced to give
up our small apartment, (in the middle of
the night), and moved to live with my grand-father.
That was humuliating and undignified, but
it was all we can do at the time. Yet,
this one event, changed all our Lives Forever.

This
is Something You are Going to Want to Know
|
|
The
reason we get this income month after
month is because all our earnings
are accumulated through Recurring
Memberships.
Every Month my Customers renew
their membership by paying me.
All
my Customers are mine for LIFE,
so the money keeps adding up
every day, with every new member
I get, until it gets so
big. Right Now it continues
getting bigger.

My Grandpa
You
see, my
Grandpa (bless his kind heart) had a computer
that was connected to the internet.
Between
breast feeding and diaper changes, I started
going online to pass the time.
My
Husband became a real online entrepreneur,
and he was going to make us rich. We lived
every night with Huge, Gigantic Dreams that
bust every morning as the plight of our
reality hit home with the rising sun.
After
all his dreams of getting rich maxed out
our credit cards, God in his infinite wisdom
guided my Hand, and my Mouse in a direction
that forever changed our lives. This
you will want to hear,
it is the most incredible and Life Changing
Guidance that can be used by anyone to attract
and achieve life sustaining wealth.
I
am a newbie both on the computer and on
the internet.
Therefore my experience in
changing our lives by earning more
than $82K ( thousand) dollars a month online
is not based on any expertise or online
experience on my part.
Like most of us who
work very hard to make ends meet, every
dollar is precious. With a baby to care
for, I am a very thrifty and realistic person.
My Husband is the Almighty Businessman Dreamer.
He was going to make us RICH.
I know that 80k
a month sounds like a lot of money, but let
me tell you - anything is possible with the Home Income Franchise.
After I started with it, my Grandfather opened up his own Home Income Portal,
just to add some more income
to his veteran and social security pension
and he is now very successful with his Home
Income Portal Franchise, earning more than
62K each and every month.
My Brand
New Car
After
my friends realized that I am no longer
destitute, ( Ha.
. Ha ..
its not that
easy to miss...).
When
you are so poor for so long, every bone
in your body ache to spend, spend, spend.
- When
I go to the Mall, my eyes get blurry,
tears sprang into them, and I had
to try out my brand new, "ACTIVATED"
credit card.
I don't know about
you, but when I get my hands
on some money, it was time to splurge
a little, I lied - A LOT. ..
.
Showing
off now ...
Here is my Brand
New Red Chariot.
It purrs on the road, and
everyone, everyone loves it.
It sits on
my driveway like a beacon of Wealth.
I can sit for hours admiring it.
I never,
never let my Hubby drive it.
He can wash
it, admire it, sit in it, but never drive
my precious, precious red chariot. I love
it, Love it. This is my First Car, and I
will Love it forever.
My Home
My
friend also got their own Home Income Portal,
and in the first few days they buzzed my
ears with questions, questions, questions.
But after they realized how easy it was
to operate their Home Income Portal, they
just started to amass their income from
their Home.
This is contagious, it is viral,
and you will never, never look at your computer
the same way again.
You can only see it
as a Home Income Portal.
| Your Home
Computer is a Portal to a World of 100
Million people or more hungry to pay you
night and day. It is all automated,
and even when your Computer Income Portal
at Home is shut off, the money continues
to pour in to your paypal, safepay and alertpay
account. When you turn it back on, you surf
over to your Paypal, Safepay and Alertpay account
and transfer it all to your Bank Account.
It really is that simple.

My Vacation
And a Vacation
.
.
. Ummmm,
Finally,
we were able to go on A S-I-X W-E-E-K-S V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N,
Rum, Sand and Salt Water.
You know
the freedom, sitting at sunset, watching
a Huge
Ball Of Fire sinking into the water.
The smell
of water, suntan oil, heat and the feeling
of peace of mind, and the sheer exhiliration
(wow!!, see that, a word a day pays off)
of Total Freedom.
All this
while, my Home Income Portal (shut Off)
at
home (hic!!
hic!! .
.. of course),
but my Handy, Dandy Notebook computer stashed
in our Suite, we did all our Money Transfers
from there.

Income Portal Freedom.
There is Nothing
Like it.
Also, there
are Affiliate Accounts that are also all
setup for you that is like secret little
places to stuff cash into.

computer talk for this is Multiple Streams
of Income. What you do is, You surf over
to google adsense, clickbank, amazon, pageswirl,
webdawg, traffic swarm and login to your
Members Area there, it is all stuffed with
cash.
You simply
wait for these companies to mail you a check
or you can set it up for them to wire it
into your bank account.
So, if the amout
is over $5,000, I have them wire it, otherwise
I wait for the check.
Now, I am
not saying that you are going to make 60k
or 80k, it might be more or it
might be less. But just the fact that
you can turn your home computer into a Portal
