Digital mortgages are seeing an uptick in the number of systems people are using. With point-of-sales becoming a growing part of daily workflows, you might be tempted to add them to your suite of tools, coupling them with customer relationship management (CRM) and loan origination systems (LOS).

Finding the right pricing engine to become a supported investor on can be difficult. You need to make sure that the company you trust isn’t just putting your products in front of anybody and everybody, but in front of the right borrowers and in the right location. Not only that, but you need the rates that pricing engine is quoting to be accurate and updated at all times, so that borrowers are getting all of the right information, and preventing looking like you’re offering old or inaccurate rates.

Our user base stretches across the country, with each region of the U.S. accounting for at least 6% of our rate quote volume so far through 2018. No matter where your customers are using your products, Mortech has users there. Only want your products available in one region? With Mortech, you don’t have to worry about not having coverage.

Mortech can create and upload a wide variety of custom rate sheets to offer in our mortgage engine. We’ll also automatically update those rate sheets whenever intraday rate changes occur. Your rates won’t just be accurate at all times, but you won’t have to worry about being the one constantly going in and updating them.

There can be a lot of fear with trying to quote your rates online to multiple marketplaces. Getting your rates pushed to your own website is tough on its own, but trying to manage and maintain rates on different marketplaces around the web is even tougher. Constantly having to check and update those rates can be daunting, and hesitating to jump into online quoting is understandable.

We’ve written about the advantages that come with online quoting through Mortech. We can help you get your rates in the right online marketplaces to thousands of borrowers through lead sources like Zillow^®, LendingTree^®, and Bankrate^®. However, we can also get your rates on lead sources that can play to your strengths when it comes to quoting specific products and/or to specific buyers. Our account management team has years of mortgage experience, and are well-versed in finding the right fit for mortgage businesses who are trying to do online quoting.

There’s a lot of hesitancy to enter into the online mortgage rate quoting marketplace. The perception has been that online quoting marketplace is primarily something used for refinance loans, which is a market that continues to trend downward as rates climb. However, there’s a key reason why online quoting will see use, and possibly even growth, in the future: millennials.

When you think about how rate APIs play into the online mortgage process, most people’s ideas of their role are limited.

The traditional purpose behind rate APIs was always to provide a rate table shopping experience to borrowers. This was especially true of refinance lenders, who needed their rate tables to get in front of borrowers looking to refinance their mortgage and get a better rate. However, rate APIs typically weren’t good for much beyond that, and simply acted as the first step in a long process.

When looking for a pricing engine with secondary desk capabilities, you might feel like you have to settle for something that isn’t made specifically for your needs. Mortech understands the frustration that can come from this – not every mortgage business is the same, nor do they have the same needs – and finding a system that is made for you and your business to be successful can feel like a challenge.

Streamlining your daily operations for a more efficient business is something we’re constantly working toward at Mortech. Integrating our pricing tools and services into industry leading Loan Origination Systems is one such way in which we work.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Calyx. Through Marksman’s integration with CalyxPoint, users get the best of both worlds from a single interface.

At Mortech, integrating our mortgage pricing engine with industry leading mortgage partners is a top priority, so that we can continue offering the best options and services to our users.

Believe it or not, the mortgage businesses can learn a lot from sports.

Even the highest paid athelete needs a great coach. Think of an ace pitcher or star quarterback; without a great coach to scheme and use their strengths for the better, they’ll have a tough time being successful.

This isn’t much different from mortgages. Imagine you and your business as the quarterback; you want to put your business in the best place to succeed, and with a lot of competition in things like online rate quoting, finding a coach that can help you use what your business does best to find success is a must. That’s where Mortech comes in.
