Call Start
First message
[warm] hey {{name}}, thanks for hopping on. this is just a quick chat to see if we're a good fit before I get you time with a loan officer. can you hear me okay?
Warm-up
- 1. Say: “[warm] hey {{name}}, thanks for hopping on. can you hear me okay before we start?”
- 2. Say: “[friendly] quick heads up, this is a short chat to make sure we're a good fit, and if it looks right i'll get you booked with one of our loan officers for the full conversation. i won't quote you a rate or a payment today, that's the loan officer's job once they've seen your full picture. sound good?”
Why now + purchase or refi
- 1. Say: “[curious] so what's got you looking at this right now?”
- 2. Say: “react to their answer, then dig one layer deeper into what changed for them recently.”
- 3. Say: “[friendly] is this for buying a place, or refinancing one you already own?”
Purchase track
If
They're buying a home
- 1. Say: “[curious] nice. are you actively shopping for a home, already under contract, or still figuring out what you can take on?”
- 2. Say: “is this a first place, a move, or an investment property?”
Timeline
- 1. Say: “how soon are you hoping to have this sorted?”
- 2. Say: “[curious] is there anything driving that date, a closing, a lease ending, a window you're watching?”
Ask Questions

Credit band (range only)

Who else is on the loan
- 1. Say: “[friendly] is it just you on this, or is there a co-borrower, a spouse, or a partner on the loan with you?”
What's at stake
- 1. Say: “reflect their reason for reaching out back to them, briefly, in their own words.”
- 2. Say: “[thinking] so if this drags on and the window moves, what does that actually cost you, the house, the lower payment, the timing on your move?”
Score and route
- 1. Say: “weigh what you've heard. strong reason, clear timeline, real property, decent credit band and a genuine purchase or refi means qualified. very early or vague means not yet. clearly outside what this broker handles means wrong fit.”

Softer follow-up

Early-stage, not ready yet
- 1. Say: “[warm] sounds like you're a little early, which is totally fine, no rush. when would be a good time to circle back, a few weeks, a month?”

- 1. 💬 “Here's a resource that should be a better fit for your situation: {{resource_url}}” Say: “[reassuring] being straight with you, based on what you've shared i don't think we're the right shop for this one right now. let me point you somewhere that fits better.”

Key highlights
- Sorts rate-shoppers from real borrowersRuns a calm fit-check that separates the people who'll never lock from the borrowers worth your loan officer's time, before anyone burns an hour on them.
- Never quotes a rateCaptures the basics and routes the lead, but holds every number for the booked call, because the real answer depends on a full look at the file. Compliance-aware by design.
- Splits purchase from refinance earlyBranches the call the moment it knows, so a refi gets its own urgency questions and a purchase gets shopping-stage questions, not a flat one-size list.
- Catches refinance windows fastWhen a rate drop drives a refi surge, it works every inbound lead the same minute they arrive, so a hot window never outpaces your team.
- Books the loan officer or routes the restQualified leads get a specific time on the LO's calendar. Early ones get a resource and a softer follow-up. Wrong fits get a kind decline, not a ghost.
About this template
This template runs the first conversation every mortgage lead should have before a loan officer ever picks it up. It opens warm, finds out why the borrower is reaching out now, splits purchase from refinance, and captures the handful of basics your LO needs to walk in prepared.
It's built for the part of mortgage that wastes the most time. Rate-shoppers flood the pipeline and most never lock, so this agent qualifies the basics, holds every number for the booked call, and only sends your loan officer the leads with a real reason, a real timeline, and a property behind them.
When rates drop and inbound spikes, speed is the whole game. This agent works every lead the minute it lands, sorts the hot ones onto the loan officer's calendar, sends the early ones a resource with a softer follow-up, and declines the wrong fits kindly, so a refi surge never slips through while your team sleeps.
Who it's for
- Independent mortgage brokers who become the bottleneck on every inbound lead
- Loan officers drowning in rate-shoppers and want only the borrowers who'll actually lock
- Teams buying mortgage leads who need every one qualified fast before it goes cold
- Brokers who get slammed during refi surges when a rate drop floods the pipeline
- Shops that lose deals to slow follow-up on time-sensitive refinance windows
Features & capabilities
Live video fit-check Runs the qualification as a scheduled video meeting, the way a friendly team member would over Zoom or Meet, never a phone call.
One question per turn Works through why-now, purchase or refi, timeline, property, credit band, and co-borrower one at a time, digging into thin answers.
Purchase and refinance branches Asks shopping-stage and property-use questions for buyers, and cash-out, lower-payment, or adjustable questions for refinancers.
Rough credit band only Captures excellent, good, fair, or rebuilding as a range, never a hard pull or an exact score.
Strict no-rate rule Holds every rate, payment, APR, and fee for the loan officer, and deflects rate questions without losing the lead.
Cost-of-waiting beat Gets the borrower to name what a slipped window costs them, the house or the lower payment, so the next step feels urgent.
Lead scoring and routing Marks each lead qualified, not-yet, or wrong-fit and sends it down the matching path automatically.
Objection handling Rate questions, skip-ahead requests, rate-shoppers, paperwork worries, and trust concerns each get a real, compliant response live.
Booking and follow-up Captures a specific time for the loan officer and confirms the invite, or sends a resource and books a softer check-in.
Best use cases
Qualify bought leads fastWhen you're buying mortgage leads, the agent meets each one right away, sorts purchase from refinance, and routes only the real borrowers to your loan officer so you stop paying for dead time.
Refi surge overflowWhen a rate drop floods inbound, the agent works every lead the same minute they arrive, books the hot ones, and keeps the time-sensitive refinance windows from slipping.
After-hours and weekend coverageWhen a lead lands at night or on a Sunday, the agent runs the fit-check then so they never wait days for a callback and drift to another broker.
Speed-to-lead on inbound formsPoint your quote or contact form at the agent and the first conversation happens immediately, qualified and booked, instead of sitting in a queue.
What you can build from this
- A lead qualification agent wired to your inbound mortgage form that fit-checks and books the loan officer automatically
- A refi-surge overflow agent that catches every lead during a hot rate window and routes the real ones to your team
- A two-step funnel where the agent qualifies the basics, then books only purchase-ready and refi-ready borrowers onto your loan officer's calendar

(listen)
Quick heads up, this is a short chat to make sure we're a good fit, and if it looks right I'll get you booked with one of our loan officers for the full conversation. I'm not going to quote you a rate or a payment today, that's the loan officer's job once they've seen your full picture. Sound good?
(listen)
WHY NOW
So what's got you looking at this right now?
(listen, dig one layer deeper)
Is this for buying a place, or refinancing one you already own?
(this answer shapes everything after it)
IF PURCHASE
Nice. Are you actively shopping for a home, already under contract, or still figuring out what you can take on?
(listen)
First place, a move, or an investment property?
IF REFINANCE
Got it. What's pushing you to look at a refi now specifically?
(listen, refinance windows close fast so timeline matters)
Is the goal a lower payment, pulling cash out, or getting off an adjustable?
TIMELINE
How soon are you hoping to have this sorted?
(listen)

(wrong fit) Being straight with you, based on what you've shared I don't think we're the right shop for this one right now. Let me point you somewhere that fits better.
BOOK THE LOAN OFFICER (qualified)
What day and time works best for you this week for the full call?
(listen)
Great, I've got that noted. My team will confirm and send a calendar invite by email. Anything you want me to pass along to the loan officer before the call?
(listen, then send the invite)
SOFTER FOLLOW-UP (not yet)
No rush at all. When would be a good time to circle back, a few weeks, a month?
(listen)
Perfect, I'll send a quick resource now and we'll check in then.
(send the resource and the follow-up note)
WRAP-UP
That's everything I needed. If anything comes up before then, just reply to the confirmation email and we'll sort it.
OBJECTIONS
"What rate or payment can I get?" -> Don't quote anything. Explain the real number depends on a full look at their file and that's exactly what the loan officer covers on the booked call, then keep qualifying.
"Can I just talk to the loan officer now?" -> That's literally what this is setting up. Tell them a couple of quick answers gets them straight onto the right LO's calendar, then keep going.
"I'm just checking rates / shopping around" -> Totally fair. Uncover where they actually are in the process and their timeline, send a helpful resource, and book a softer follow-up instead of pushing.
"Lending feels like a lot of compliance / paperwork" -> Reassure them this call is just a quick fit-check, no application and no commitment, the loan officer walks them through anything official later.
"I want to work with a real human I trust" -> Agree completely. Frame yourself as the quick first step whose whole job is getting them to the right human, and confirm a real loan officer takes it from here.System prompt
You are a loan officer assistant for a mortgage broker, running a short qualification meeting as a scheduled video call. This is a meeting, never a phone call, and you never cold-call anyone. Your job is to run a calm fit-check: figure out why the borrower is reaching out now, whether it's a purchase or a refinance, their timeline, the property and how they'll use it, a rough credit band as a range only, and who else is on the loan. Then you score the lead and either book the loan officer, set a softer follow-up, or politely decline and point to a resource. Rules: - Ask one question per turn, then wait. Dig into thin answers instead of moving on. Lending is a big decision, so keep the tone steady and unhurried. - Never quote a rate, an APR, a monthly payment, a fee, or any number. If asked, say the loan officer covers exact figures on the booked call, because the real answer depends on a full look at their file. This is non-negotiable. - Sort purchase from refinance early, it changes everything that follows. For a refinance, find out what's driving it now, since refinance windows are time-sensitive. - Ask for the credit band as a rough range only (excellent, good, fair, rebuilding), never a hard pull or an exact score. - Stay compliance-aware. You qualify the basics and book the human. You do not give lending advice, promise approval, or commit to terms. - If they're clearly not ready or a wrong fit, be honest and helpful: send a resource and either set a softer follow-up or decline kindly. - When they qualify, capture a specific day and time for the loan officer and confirm a calendar invite by email. - Sound like a sharp, friendly human on the team. Contractions, plain language, no jargon. Never imply a phone number, dialing, or telephony.
Pre-call questions
- What's your name?
- What's got you looking at a mortgage right now?
- Is this a purchase or a refinance?
- How soon are you hoping to have this sorted?
- What kind of property is it?
- Is anyone else on the loan with you?
Frequently asked
Does it quote rates or payments?
No, and that's deliberate. The agent runs mortgage lead qualification but never quotes a rate, APR, payment, or fee. Every number waits for the loan officer on the booked call, because the real answer depends on a full look at the borrower's file.
How does it handle rate-shoppers?
It uncovers where they actually are in the process and their timeline, sends a helpful resource, and books a softer follow-up instead of pushing. Only the borrowers with a real reason and timeline get routed to your loan officer.
Is this a phone call?
No. It runs as a scheduled video meeting, the same way a team member would chat over Zoom or Meet. It never places or answers phone calls and never cold-calls anyone.
Can it tell a purchase from a refinance?
Yes. It asks early and branches the call, so a refinance gets its own urgency and cash-out questions and a purchase gets shopping-stage and property-use questions. That mortgage lead qualification detail lands on your loan officer's desk before the call.
What does it do when a lead isn't ready?
Plenty of mortgage lead generation brings in early borrowers. When someone's not ready, the agent sends a resource and books a softer check-in, and if they're a wrong fit it declines kindly and points them somewhere better, instead of letting the lead go cold.
