Online Rate Traps: Protect Your Clients and Grow Your Business
Dear Mortgage Brokers and Agents,
In today’s digital landscape, your clients are constantly bombarded with enticing online mortgage rates that often seem too good to be true. As a mortgage professional, you have the knowledge and expertise to guide them through the complexities of the market and ensure they make informed decisions.
The Bait and Switch: A Common Pitfall
We’ve all seen those eye-catching, ultra-low rates advertised online. But savvy borrowers know that these offers often come with hidden catches. Lenders may use these “teaser rates” to attract leads, only to switch to higher rates or unfavorable terms once the client inquires. It’s your job to educate your clients about these tactics and demonstrate the value of working with a trusted advisor like you.
Seize the Opportunity: Proactive Outreach is Key
This is your chance to shine. Don’t wait for clients to fall victim to the online rate trap. Be proactive! Reach out to your database, past clients, realtors, financial planners, accountants, and even home insurance providers. Position yourself as the expert who can help them navigate the complexities of the mortgage market and avoid costly mistakes.
Targeted Outreach: Identify and Engage
- Past Clients: Check in with past clients to see if their mortgage needs have changed or if they’re considering refinancing due to attractive online rates.
- Realtors: Partner with realtors to provide their clients with expert mortgage advice. Offer to host joint seminars or webinars to educate potential homebuyers.
- Financial Planners and Accountants: Collaborate with these professionals to offer a holistic approach to financial planning, including mortgage solutions.
- Home Insurance Providers: Develop relationships with insurance agents to offer your services to their clients who are purchasing or refinancing homes.
Content is King: Educate and Empower

- Blog posts: Explain the risks of online rate traps, highlight the benefits of working with a mortgage professional, and share tips for navigating the mortgage process.
- Social media updates: Share relevant news articles, offer quick tips, and engage with your audience by answering questions and providing insights.
