Client Retention Call Scripts for Mortgage Brokers
In the mortgage world, a single closed loan can earn you $3,000 to $10,000, but the real wealth is built through repeat business and referrals. These scripts are designed to keep you top-of-mind with your database so they call you for their next refinance or when their friends are ready to buy.
30-Day Post-Closing Check-in
Use this script one month after a client closes on their home to ensure they are settled and organized.
Hi [Client Name], it is [Your Name] here! I am just calling to see how the first month in your new home has been. I also wanted to make sure you received your first payment coupon and know exactly where to send that check so there are no hiccups. I am still here if you have any questions about your escrow or taxes. It was a pleasure helping you with that $400,000 loan, and I want to make sure the hand-off to the servicer went smoothly. Have you started any renovation projects yet?
Tips for this scenario
- -Confirm they know their first payment due date to prevent credit-damaging late starts.
- -Remind them to look out for 'junk mail' that looks like official mortgage documents.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Pro Tips
- 1.Always use the 'Total Cost Analysis' approach—show them the math, don't just tell them a rate.
- 2.Set a recurring task in your CRM to call every past client at least twice a year.
- 3.If you miss a call from a Realtor, text them immediately to let them know when you will call back; speed is everything for referrals.
- 4.Use a professional AI receptionist like SkipCalls to ensure that even at 8:00 PM, a new lead can book a pre-approval consultation without waiting for you.
- 5.Ask for a Google review exactly two days after closing, while the excitement of the new keys is still fresh.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I call my past mortgage clients?
At minimum, you should reach out twice a year: once on their loan anniversary and once during a mid-year 'market check' or holiday greeting.
What if a client complains about high interest rates when I call?
Acknowledge their frustration but pivot to 'equity growth.' Remind them that while rates are higher, their home value has likely increased, which provides financial options.
Should I leave a voicemail if they don't answer?
Yes, always leave a short, upbeat message. Mention that you have 'good news about their home value' or a 'market update' to encourage a callback.
How do I handle a call from a Realtor while I'm with another client?
This is where an AI service is vital. It can tell the Realtor you are in a closing but can book a priority callback time immediately, preserving the relationship.
