The Trials and Tribulations of Managing Loan Officers
Are you a mortgage lender with 20, 30 or more loan officers scattered either statewide or nationwide?
Are you frustrated with trying to get a pulse on their activities like cold calling, lead generation, follow-ups and most importantly their sales performance?
If you answered yes to these questions, then this article is for you. It’s filled with tips on how to centralize the management of loan officers.
The Cloud
Cloud technology is transforming the mortgage lending industry. The capabilities and benefits of cloud-based loan management software are incredibly useful for the entire mortgage lending team, but especially vice presidents of sales that are tasked with oversight and management.
Sales managers set corporate policies and procedures, lead and direct an institution’s mortgage loan functions, and oversees all mortgage loan activities ensuring compliance with regulations. One of their most important roles (and challenges) is to manage the team of mortgage loan officers.
Loan officers meet with applicants who wish to borrow money and evaluate, approve, or reject the loan applications. They answer questions and help guide customers through the applications process as well. They may also market the service and products of their lending institution and contact people or companies to solicit new business. Therefore, especially at a large company, managing a team of loan officers can be a lot to keep track of.

Cloud technology reduces capital expenses and operating expenses and allows for faster implementation and more frequent software updates. Economies of scale allow cloud providers to acquire, provision and manage hardware, software, and infrastructure far more cost-effectively than an on-premises data center. Scalability will also enable your business to more easily grow or contract when needed. For example, when rates are low and refinances spike, the cloud lets you allocate resources as needed, quickly and seamlessly.
Additionally, cloud-based loan management software enables better quality lending decisions and improves underwriting productivity by using other cloud-based data sources and services when needed. A modern loan management system can provide integration with loan origination systems (LOS), as well as compliance, document, and texting services.
Cloud-based platforms like OptifiNow provide efficiency and integration; they accelerate the entire process and reduce overhead costs.
