In mortgage lending, time kills deals. Research from MIT shows that responding to a lead within 5 minutes makes you 100x more likely to connect compared to waiting 30 minutes. But here's the reality — most loan officers take hours, sometimes days, to respond to new inquiries.
The Cost of Slow Response
Every minute that passes after a borrower submits an inquiry, they're getting colder. They're Googling other lenders. They're filling out another application. By the time you call back, they've already chosen someone else — not because you're worse, but because you were slower.
