Mortgage Lead Sources

New and prospective clients often ask us which lead provider has the best mortgage leads. Our answer is to try multiple sources, then adjust lead purchases or negotiate revised pricing based on actual performance. LeadQual reporting makes it easy to quickly test and assess lead quality so that an appropriate cost-per-lead can be achieved with each lead vendor.

Below is a list of good mortgage lead sources that we have found to be highly reliable.

Each vendor provides good leads that convert well and they consistently appear at the top of our lead performance metrics on a live transfer rate basis. This is not an exclusive list and we encourage clients to test multiple sources.

Lead Sources and LeadQual

LeadQual can call, qualify and live transfer leads from any source. Most mortgage lead vendors are honest, fairly priced and do provide a good service. Ultimately, the market will adjust lead pricing to reflect true value for each source. Like any other purchase, be prepared to negotiate and comparison shop.

LeadQual reporting and metrics will guide you towards appropriate pricing for your leads in your specific geography, with your unique filters, so try not to overcommit and trap yourself into a bad deal when purchasing mortgage leads.

LeadQual attempts to be lead vendor agnostic, as our commitment is to client performance. We can assist in lead purchases if desired. Further, a more granular list of lead vendor performance metrics is maintained by us and can be made available for lead purchase decisions when attempting to scale the volume of leads processed through LeadQual.
