Falling Mortgage Rates Give You An Amazing Spring Sales Opportunity!

/in , /by

Finally, some good news for the real estate & mortgage industry! After months of worries over a slowing industry and real estate inventory shortage, we’re seeing the first signs of a massive comeback – just in time for the Spring 2020 buying season!

The cause? Mortgage rates are at their lowest level in more than three years, potentially boosting the U.S. housing market as it enters the crucial spring selling season, according to the Wall Street Journal. They further state that the average rate on the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, the most popular home loan in the U.S., dropped to 3.45%, according to data released Thursday by mortgage-finance giant Freddie Mac. That is down from 3.51% a week earlier and 4.41% this time last year. The average rate on the 15-year mortgage also fell to a three-year low of 2.97%. According to experts, this could be a historical opportunity for people who have an existing mortgage to refinance and for credit-qualified people to lock-in a low rate.

Now is a great time for you to dig-in and focus on what you do best with the support of a MyOutDesk Virtual Assistant! Schedule your Double My Business Strategy Session today to find out more!

U.S. home prices have risen rapidly in recent years, which means many would-be owners can’t afford to buy their first homes even with low rates. Moreover, the low rates telegraph investors’ concerns about the global economy.

Mortgage rates are closely tied to yields on 10-year Treasury notes, which recently hit their lowest level since October. That is because investors pile into haven assets such as government bonds when economic growth looks uncertain. Continued concerns that the corona virus will hurt Chinese economic growth are also weighing on investors and sending rates down.

Consistently low mortgage rates have helped the market recently, pushing home sales to a high mark for the year in December, when sales of existing homes rose 3.6% over the previous month to 5.54 million. Lenders extended a greater volume of home loans in 2019 than in any year since 2006, according to industry research group Inside Mortgage Finance.

Lower rates have also driven a bevy of refinancings. The volume of refinancing applications jumped 15% from the previous week to the highest level since June 2013, according to Mortgage Bankers Association data released Wednesday. The volume of mortgage purchase applications fell 10% from the previous week, though it was up compared with a year ago.

The reduced rates widen the pool of homeowners who could lower their monthly payments. Mortgage-data firm Black Knight Inc. estimates that 11.3 million U.S. homeowners would qualify for and benefit from a refinancing, the second-most on record. Average monthly savings would be $268.

To be sure, the Mortgage Bankers Association said mortgage credit availability fell in January, a potential sign of stricter lending standards. But the decline could also reflect the high level of refinancing expected through the first half of 2020. Homeowners who refinance often have high credit scores, raising the average score of approved borrowers.

This means that you are in a great position to hustle and take advantage of these dropping rates and increase your business! Don’t get bogged down by the daily, repetitive busywork that takes away precious time from you working on your business. Stop working in your business and delegate all these responsibilities to a MyOutDesk Virtual Assistant! All you need to do is schedule your Double My Business Strategy Session and we’ll get you the leverage you need for your business.

How To Make A Killing In The Mortgage Business!

/in , /by

There’s a refinance boom going on, and savvy mortgage brokers like Eric Garnicki are making a killing by taking advantage of lower interest rates & leveraging the power of virtual assistants.

“My Virtual Assistant has been responsible for 70% of my mortgage deals over the last 5 years.” – Eric Garnicki

“You need to understand that we have a very finite, limited amount of time,” Eric says, “There’s a big search for value add in our industry, and virtual assistants bring that value-add. You can use that to approach more Realtors, and you’ll find more success. Step outside of what everybody else is doing and look at things from a marketing perspective. Use your virtual assistant for marketing to approach more realtors, financial advisors, and others and build those relationships.”

In this webinar, you’ll learn the exact system that Eric is using to locate, pre-qualify & meet with top REALTORS®, CPAs & attorneys in order to build key relationships to bring in new mortgage deals. He’ll also share with you how he delegates administrative work, scheduling, and even phone-screening to his virtual assistants in order to maximize the time he spends on dollar-productive activities. Learn more when you Double My Business Strategy Session now!

The key to expanding your mortgage business is time-management. You need to proceduralize business so that you can duplicate yourself – and then invest your limited time in the key activities that you simply can’t delegate. Once you’ve done that, you’ll have time need to take your game to the next level.

According to Garnicki, “Anything that’s administrative you can delegate. Sales conversations usually have to be with the loan officer, but the virtual assistant comes into play by helping put you in a position to create those sales opportunities. On the B2B side of things, my VA is setting up appointments for me to sit down with top producing realtors, financial advisors, divorce attorneys, trust attorneys, CPA’s. The VA makes outbound calls, qualify the prospects, shares some value adds and then sees if there’s an opportunity to sit down & build the relationship.”

Lower interest rates mean that you can quickly & easily grow your revenue by using a virtual assistant to expand your prospecting and winning past deals with today’s lower rates. You’ll have more time to network with REALTORS® & other professionals who bring you business – and you’ll have a system in place to ensure you’re not wasting time on low-level producers.

The secret to that is pre-qualifying all of your meetings using your virtual assistant. Garnicki says, “The first thing you have to do is give your VA the proper data – who to contact, qualified prospects or business-to-business partners. Getting quality data is a big thing, so when I was able to use MyMTA I was able to get the top 250 Realtors in my county, and I leveraged that along with my value add to create partnerships.

The second thing is training, training, training. Terminology, scripting, rebuttals, and having your VA follow a procedure – that makes a massive difference. I’ve done these calls myself, but it’s not the highest & best use of my time and I don’t enjoy it. I just want to show up after it’s been quality controlled & screened, and then I can do what I do best. Leveraging virtual assistants has exploded my business, and it can do the same for you!” Learn more when you Double My Business Strategy Session now!

He set up 51 one-on-one meetings with agents in the first quarter I had him, which is awesome because acquiring the relationship is what will acquire the mortgage. So right now I have him calling to create new meetings & relationships for me, and then I focus on calling agents I already know who are parties to transactions. The thing is, my VA is so good at his job that my schedule is booked solid – I haven’t had availability for any new appointments in months!”
