From Click to Close: Optimizing Every Step of the Borrower Funnel
Getting a mortgage borrower from application to close shouldn’t feel like herding cats, but for many lenders and loan officers (LOs), it does. Every step in the funnel is a chance to build trust or lose a lead, and too often, small moments of friction add up to big drop-offs.
The good news? You don’t need to overhaul your entire process to see results. With the right tools and a few clever tweaks to user experience and communication, you can keep borrowers engaged, speed up timelines, and close more deals with less stress.
Here are the key phases of the borrower journey and simple, high-impact solutions that help lenders reduce friction, streamline operations, and turn every transaction into a long-term relationship.
