 A New Way To Generate Clients & Establish Contacts

Every now and then a new idea comes along to help us solve old problems.
In the mortgage industry everyone uses the same methods to generate clients and make new contacts. What if you could generate new clients and make new contacts and have fun doing it?  You can, by using our new tabletop game.

The Mortgage Game takes you on a real-world ride through the ups and downs of the high-finance mortgage world. The idea, like any good capitalistic endeavor, is to survive the pitfalls of the market, earn the most money, become the CEO, stay out of jail and retire wealthy. Most people are curious about all that money that people in the finance world earn but have no clue how they do it. We're rolling out a new table-top board game that will let players experience for themselves what happens. The game has a few elements that resemble monopoly but you'll find it different from anything you've ever played before. People who are fascinated by high-finance will enjoy this game as it gives the player a real-world ride through the ups and downs of the mortgage finance world. Novice players can't help  but have their capitalistic urges stoked. It's designed for 2 to 4 adult players.

Although the main goal of the game is to relax and have fun,  people in the mortgage industry and related vendors can use it to get their name out to generate clients and establish new contacts. You can do this by getting your name, logo or even your picture in the game. 

For example, you can have your logo inserted on certain game squares:


Or, Have your picture  inserted on game Notes:


or have your company name appear on Loan certificates:


You can even have your personal name on a Las Vegas Game Card:


Just hand out a version of the game to your clients and contacts. It's a unique marketing tool.  Participating entitles you to appear in 500 games.

Playing the game is a lot of fun and will leave a unique impression on the players. Thousands of people will see your information. It's a clever way to advertise. By the way, some firms that train new MLOs have already inquired about using it for training purposes.

You can look over the game here: https://www.facebook.com/themortgagegame

We're just getting the production of the game set-up so email us with your questions at

Keep It Simple; Hire DE/LAPP Underwriters on a Contract Basis!

Netbranchology.com can help you solve the problem of  having highly qualified DE underwriters available when you need them without actually hiring them as employees. Hiring DE/LAPP Underwriters on a contract basis has some valuable advantages for your bank or mortgage firm. Firstly, it gives you the flexibility of only paying for the work that you need when you need it so it's more economical than hiring a permanent employee. Second, you don't have to expend the resources to hire a long term employee for a short term project; We handle background searches and prequalify the underwriter. Third, since the underwriter is our employee not yours you are not responsible for payroll,  benefits,, bonuses, sick days, 2 week notice, etc. You can, in effect, audition the underwriter to determine if they would be a good long term fit for your operation. We handle all of the details for you. If you find that the underwriter is someone who would be an excellent addition to your staff, you may hire them as a permanent employee. If you're not using this kind of contract employment arrangement you are paying too much.

You can hire contract underwriters for on-site work or on a remote basis; we handle both. Call us today when loan volume exceeds your underwriting capability. We can provide processors too.

After FNMA and Freddie Mac; US philosophy on mortgage Lending

We came across the attached white paper that was released by the US treasury in 2011. If you are confounded as to why the US government is trying to implement the policies you are hearing about, or if the new regulations handed down by the CFPB seem counter-productive or if you're baffled as to what their overall objective is this paper should clear up some of your confusion. It's the blueprint they've devised for your future. Take a deep breath before you read it.
