How to Use Group Texting for a Mortgage Deal Team

This quick walkthrough shows how to create a named Group SMS conversation, add borrowers, co-borrowers, real estate agents, and other contacts, and keep the whole deal team in one shared thread inside LoanOfficer.ai.

Key takeaways

Open Group Texting from Conversations

Open Conversations and select the Groups tab to see existing group threads or begin a new one. Group conversations are separated from one-to-one Messages, which makes it easier to return to a deal-team discussion without searching through individual threads. You can also reach the group workflow from a borrower record when you are already working inside that file.

Name the thread for the transaction

Create a group name that a teammate can recognize immediately. The walkthrough uses a property address followed by Closing Team. A consistent format keeps several active transactions from becoming a list of vague or duplicate conversation names.

Add the right people

Use Add People to choose the contacts who should participate. A mortgage group may include the borrower, co-borrower, buyer's agent, listing agent, processor, or another authorized participant. Confirm the selected people before the first message so transaction details do not reach the wrong contact.

Keep one visible conversation history

Messages and replies remain together in the named group thread. That shared history gives each participant the same update and helps the mortgage team avoid repeating the same status separately across several one-to-one texts. Use the thread for coordination, not for sensitive borrower data. Social Security numbers, account numbers, documents, credentials, and other private information should stay in approved secure channels.

Use AI suggestions as a draft

The group composer includes Get AI Suggestions. Use it to help draft a clear response, then review the wording, recipients, facts, and any required disclosures before sending. A suggestion does not replace the loan officer's responsibility for the final message.
