Mortgage and Title Professionals: You’re Probably Leaving Money on the Table

Over the summer of 2022, the number of Americans who applied for a mortgage fell several times, including a 2.3% drop the week of August 12th. As a mortgage and title servicer, you may want to consider ways to expand and diversify your revenue stream. One way to attract new clients and increase profits is by incorporating an insurance offering into your business.

Enjoy Recurring Revenue

Unless you work with high-net-worth individuals or professional real estate investors, chances are you don’t see the same customers more than once or twice throughout their lives. However, homeowners whose mortgages you’ve serviced are excellent candidates for a homeowner’s insurance package, and they may even be interested in bundling their policy to include auto or other coverage. Selling insurance is a great way to add stability and even growth to your income stream during weaker housing markets.

Leverage the Leads You Already Have

Every customer you’ve ever worked with is a potential lead when you incorporate insurance into your mortgage and title company. This may be especially true for recent customers who moved from out of town, as they may not have had time to network and find a local insurance agent. But even with established clients, it’s worth touching base to see if they’re in the market to shop their policy. The trust you’ve built by assisting someone with a home purchase can be a tremendous advantage when vying to become their insurance agent.

Derive Greater Networking Benefits

Most mortgage and title professionals have built a strong network of realtors, bankers and financial advisors over the years. And you may also make referrals to contractors, inspectors and other tradespeople. But those referrals can — and often do — go both ways, which can help you build an insurance book of business. Plus, your new insurance clients may turn to you when it’s time to close on their next home.
