The Advantage of 50+ Wholesale Lenders
Operating under a DBA of IMB™ means accessing a broad spectrum of wholesale lenders. This diversity allows MLOs to tailor their offerings to meet the unique needs of their clients, ensuring higher satisfaction and more successful outcomes. Here’s why having multiple lender options is a game-changer:
- Competitive Rates: With various lenders to choose from, MLOs can shop for the best rates, providing their clients with the most attractive mortgage options.
- Flexible Terms: Different lenders offer varying terms and conditions, enabling MLOs to find the most suitable products for their clients’ financial situations.
- Specialized Products: Some lenders specialize in certain types of loans, such as FHA, VA, or jumbo loans, allowing MLOs to cater to niche markets effectively.
How IMB™ Rates Lenders for Optimal MLO Performance
At IMB™, we understand that not all lenders are created equal. To help our MLOs make informed decisions, we rate our lenders based on several critical factors. This comprehensive evaluation ensures that our MLOs can maintain optimal business operations and deliver outstanding service to their clients. Here are some key factors we consider:
1. Aggregate Turn Times
Turn times can make or break a deal. Quick processing times are crucial for maintaining client satisfaction and closing deals efficiently. We evaluate lenders based on weekly updated turn times. We consider the time it takes for setup, disclosures, initial underwriting, conditions, and closing. This helps MLOs choose lenders that can meet tight deadlines and avoid delays.
2. AE Customer Care
The level of support provided by Account Executives (AEs) can greatly impact an MLO’s experience. We assess the responsiveness, knowledge, and overall customer service quality of AEs at each lender. High-rated AEs can provide valuable assistance, troubleshoot issues promptly, and ensure smooth transaction processes.
3. Technology and Innovation
In today’s digital age, technology is pivotal in mortgage lending. Being tech-savvy is essential for distinguishing yourself in this industry. Lenders leveraging cutting-edge technology can streamline operations, reduce paperwork, and enhance the overall experience for MLOs and clients.
4. Product Variety
Access to a wide range of loan products is essential for meeting diverse client needs. Our tools help you swiftly identify lenders offering the products you need, making it easy to know where to shop. This ensures our MLOs can find the right solutions for first-time homebuyers, refinancers, investors, and more, including niche and non-QM loan types. Learn more about our loan programs here.
5. Reputation and Reliability
A lender’s reputation in the industry is a strong indicator of their reliability and trustworthiness. Our 5-star rating system allows you to gauge lenders so you can choose with confidence quickly. Reliable lenders are less likely to encounter issues that could derail a deal, providing peace of mind to both MLOs and their clients.
