Expanded wholesale lender options and a hot mortgage market enable more mortgage professionals to forge their own paths as mortgage brokers.
But one of the biggest challenges mortgage brokers face is competing with the million-dollar-plus advertising budgets and “marketing gurus” staffed by established mortgage lenders.
Thankfully, marketing technology now exists that makes it possible for a small broker shop to cast a long shadow over its market. The key to selecting the right mortgage CRM and marketing automation platform for the job is identifying the features you’ll need to set your brand apart.
Engaging Marketing Content for Mortgage Brokers

The best way to find out what we offer is to try it out yourself. We’re confident that you’ll like what you see.
Sharp mortgage marketing content is a powerful tool for helping you attract and convert leads. Polished outreach and collateral communicate to prospective clients that you are a sophisticated mortgage professional who can be entrusted with guiding them through the biggest purchase of their lives, while “unbuttoned” collateral can signal the opposite and drive clients away.
But you are a mortgage broker, not a graphic designer, video producer and content marketing writer. So you’ll need a marketing platform that enables you to easily apply your logo, headshot and branding to a library of polished and customizable omnichannel marketing content.
But the buck doesn’t stop at winning content. The internet is a vast expanse of information and entertainment that consumers are closely tethered to. To cut through the noise, you’ll have to deliver your engaging messages to consumers’ communication and social channels of choice. Look for a digital mortgage software and marketing automation platform that contains a robust library of content that includes social media, email, flyers, single property sites, text and video.
Proven Automated Workflows
Manually distributing mortgage CRM content to prospects and customers can be a full-time job unto itself. You’ll want to automate as much of this as possible so you can focus on delivering the personalized, high-touch consulting brokers are known for.
Low hanging fruit for automation is responding to leads, loan progress updates and post-close follow-up. Better yet is the ability to integrate your marketing software with your tech stack so you can execute multi-channel refi/purchase, in-process and post-close workflows with little to no intervention.
For instance, Surefire CRM’s Blueprints for Success make it possible for smaller broker shops to launch a marketing program capable of competing with national brands right out of the gate, using a tested combination of content and automated workflows. The Blueprints for Success let individuals and teams bypass the trial and error learning curve required to creating effective mortgage marketing campaigns with pre-built strategies proven to win.
Educational Resources for Mortgage Brokers
And last but certainly not least, you should seek out a mortgage marketing technology provider that offers educational materials to help you optimize the performance of your marketing campaigns. If that’s not something you currently have access to, then Top of Mind is here to help. We’ve made our vast library of marketing education materials open to everyone at no cost.
