Enabling Scalable Deal Flow for an Independent Mortgage Broker

Increased application-to-close rate by 22%, reduced follow-up time by 60%, and built a centralized deal pipeline to support sustained growth.

Overview

An independent mortgage broker in the Greater Toronto Area was ready to scale beyond referral-based business and expand into digital-first client acquisition. With deal volume rising, the broker struggled to track leads, follow-ups, document requests, and lender communication — all while trying to maintain client trust and compliance.

MOSAN worked closely with the broker to design a system for lead intake, document automation, pipeline visibility, and post-close engagement — enabling the business to handle more volume, improve conversion, and maintain a high standard of service.

Challenges

  • No Deal Pipeline or Lead Intelligence
    Leads were managed across email threads, sticky notes, and text messages, with no way to visualize deal stages or follow-up priorities.
  • Manual Document Collection and Reminders
    Clients were often delayed in sending required documents, and the broker spent hours chasing submissions with no clear tracking system.
  • Lack of Post-Close Re-Engagement
    Once a deal was completed, there were no structured processes in place for referral requests, renewal reminders, or client reviews.

Our Approach

Lead Intake and Deal Pipeline

  • Built a structured pipeline that tracked each deal across stages (inquiry → pre-approval → submission → funded)
  • Integrated web forms and calendar booking to streamline new client onboarding and auto-tag leads by type
  • Added internal stage-based triggers to prompt actions and reduce delay in deal progression

Document Workflow & Client Automation

  • Connected a secure portal for uploading ID, income, and supporting documents — with auto-reminders based on missing file types
  • Created client-facing progress bars and SMS/email updates so clients always knew what was next
  • Enabled internal alerts for stalled deals or incomplete packages

Post-Close Engagement System

  • Scheduled automated touchpoints at 3, 6, and 12 months post-close for reviews, renewal readiness, and referral opportunities
  • Built an internal dashboard tracking deal source, lender mix, and average time-to-funding
  • Linked thank-you email flows to Google review requests and personalized thank-you gifts for high-value closings

Measurable Impact

Metric Before After Result
Application-to-Close Rate 41% 50% +22% increase
Average Follow-Up Time 3–4 hours/day <1.5 hours/day 60% time saved
Client Review Rate ~1/month 5–6/month 5x increase
Average Time to Close 18.2 days 14.9 days ~3.3 days faster

Ongoing Partnership

MOSAN’s current involvement focuses on:

  • Iterating client messaging flows and refining language for clarity and compliance
  • Reviewing deal source data to identify high-converting referral partners
  • Providing on-call tech support during high-volume periods and rate shift windows

Strategic Outlook

With a fully visible pipeline, reduced back-office burden, and post-close systems in place, the broker is now positioned to bring on additional agents and expand service offerings. A branded client portal is in early-stage development to further elevate the experience.
