Industry-Specific Blueprint ➡️ Mortgage Lender Playbook

Why Mortgage Professionals Choose HighLevel

Mortgage brokers and lenders live in a high-touch, deadline-driven environment. Between application follow-ups, documentation, and compliance, every minute counts. GoHighLevel replaces a confusing tech stack with one streamlined system to:

  • Nurture cold leads via automated SMS/email campaigns
  • Track loan progress visually: “Pre-Approved” → “Cleared to Close” → “Funded”
  • Handle compliance (e-signatures, audit trails, permission settings)
  • White-label everything if you’re an agency reselling to lenders

The Mortgage Lender Playbook Snapshot: Prebuilt & Powerful

https://www.gohighlevel.com/mortgage-lender-playbook?fp_ref=details is a suite of templates tailored for your funnel:
  • Multi-Path Lead Funnels – design dedicated sequences for Purchase, Refinance, and Credit-Repair leads
  • Pipeline by Loan Stage – filter by FHA, VA, jumbo, etc., with visual probability dashboards
  • Automated Reminder Threads – triggered SMS/email for doc collection, appraisal, underwriting deadlines
  • Call Tracking – know which campaigns drive calls and referrals
  • Auto Review Requests – emailed 48 hours post-close, fueling social proof
  • Custom Fields – save loan-to-value ratios, interest rate drops, lock-expiration dates

You're not reinventing the wheel — just swapping your name and branding in.


Sample Workflow: From Form Fill to Funding ✔️

Let’s follow “Borrower-Beth” through the Playbook funnel:

  1. Beth clicks your “Refinance & Save” Facebook ad
  2. She completes the funnel form (loan type, property, desired rate)
  3. An SMS + email immediately confirm receipt + meeting link
  4. She books a call via integrated scheduling widget
  5. Call logs automatically tag her as “Discovery Call Scheduled”
  6. A second reminder 2 hours pre-call: automated
  7. After closing, the loan moves to “Funded” stage
  8. 48 hours later: a review request is sent
  9. Beth leaves a 5★ review – bingo!

Every step hands-off, yet personalized.

💡 Use Fannie Mae’s underwriting guidelines to frame messaging that educates and qualifies borrowers faster.
