65% of inquiries come after 7 PM when your consultants are already home

A client calls at 10 PM. They want to learn about a mortgage, but your line is closed. By morning, they've already found another broker. Sound familiar?

Mortgage market statistics:

• 65% of mortgage inquiries come in the evening (after 7 PM) and on weekends

• Average qualification time per client: 15-20 minutes

• 40-50% of inquiries don't meet requirements (late payments, no income, wrong location)

• Your consultants spend 4-6 hours daily on "cold" calls

Each lost inquiry = minus $300-800 in commission. With a flow of 50 inquiries per week, you lose up to $4,000 per month simply because you can't respond in time.

Solution: An AI assistant that qualifies clients in 2 minutes, checks compliance with bank requirements, and books consultations automatically. Works 24/7 without days off.

Why mortgage brokers need automation in 2025

The mortgage market is growing 25-30% annually. The number of inquiries is increasing, but your consultants work 9 AM to 6 PM. What happens during the other 15 hours of the day?

Three problems in the mortgage business:

1. Qualification "eats up" time

A consultant spends 15-20 minutes on each client:

• Clarifying credit history

• Checking official income

• Finding out down payment amount

• Determining property purchase location

Out of 10 inquiries, only 4-5 meet requirements. The rest of the time is wasted.

2. Missed inquiries = lost money

A client messages on WhatsApp at 11 PM. No response until morning. By 10 AM, they've already contacted a competitor. Average mortgage broker commission — $300-800 per deal. Lost inquiry = lost $300+.

3. Human factor

A consultant is tired after the 30th call. Starts rushing, misses important questions, forgets to clarify details. The client feels the inattention and leaves.

Solution: An AI assistant takes on the routine — qualification, requirements checking, consultation booking. Consultants only work with "warm" clients who have already passed initial screening.

How the AI assistant works for mortgage brokers

Step 1: First contact (30 seconds)

A client messages on WhatsApp or Telegram at any time. The AI assistant responds instantly:

• Introduces themselves on behalf of the company

• Asks how to address the client

• Offers mortgage assistance

No waiting. No "write during business hours."

Step 2: Client qualification (2-3 minutes)

The AI assistant asks qualification questions one by one:

Question 1: Credit history "Have you had any late payments on loans in the last 3 years? If yes, how many days did they last?"

Analysis: if late payments exceed 90 days in the last 3 years — client doesn't qualify for a mortgage. The assistant automatically offers alternatives (e.g., personal loan) or politely ends the conversation.

Question 2: Official income "Do you have official income for the last 6 months?"

Analysis: no income — assistant checks for pension contributions. If those are absent too — offers alternative solutions.

Question 3: Down payment "Do you have a down payment? What amount are you planning?"

Analysis: even if there's no down payment, the assistant doesn't refuse immediately but offers options.

Question 4: Geography "In which city are you planning to buy property?"

Analysis: if the company only works in specific cities, the assistant filters clients from other regions and offers online consultation.

Step 3: Consultation offer (1 minute)

After qualification, the assistant:

• Informs that the client meets requirements

• Offers free consultation (offline or online)

• Talks about company advantages

• Handles objections

Step 4: Consultation booking (2 minutes)

If the client agrees:

• Assistant checks name and contacts

• Offers available calendar slots (Google Calendar integration)

• Books the client automatically

• Sends confirmation

If the client isn't ready immediately:

• Assistant saves contacts

• Passes information to consultant

• Manager contacts later

Result:

Without AI:

• Client writes at 10 PM → waits until morning → goes to competitor

With AI:

• Client writes at 10 PM → gets response in 30 seconds → qualified in 3 minutes → booked for consultation in 5 minutes

Real example: how qualification works

Client dialogue (2-3 minutes):

AI: Hello! I'm Ruslan, your mortgage assistance specialist. How should I address you?

Client: Emily

AI: Have you had any late payments on loans in the last 3 years?

Client: Yes, 60 days, but closed

AI: Do you have official income?

Client: Yes, officially employed

AI: Do you have a down payment?

Client: About $60,000

AI: In which city are you planning to buy property?

Client: In New York

AI: Emily, we can help you! I suggest a free office consultation (10 minutes) where a specialist will select the optimal program. Would you like to book?

Client: Yes

AI: What day works for you?

Client: Tomorrow

AI: Available: 10:00 AM, 2:00 PM, 4:30 PM. What time suits you?

Client: 2:00 PM

AI: Great! Your email for confirmation?

Client: emily@mail.com

AI: Done! You're booked for tomorrow at 2:00 PM. Confirmation sent to your email.

Result: Client qualified in 2-3 minutes, booked for consultation. Consultant gets a "warm" client ready for meeting.

What the AI assistant can do for mortgage brokers

Client qualification

Check against 4 criteria:

• Credit history (presence of late payments)

• Official income or pension contributions

• Down payment

• Geography (property purchase location)

Result: Only suitable clients reach consultants. Save 4-6 hours daily on "cold" calls.

Objection handling

Assistant trained to handle typical objections:

• "Too expensive" — explains benefits and time savings

• "I'll think about it" — points out risk of losing property

• "Not sure" — offers free no-obligation consultation

"Yes, and..." technique: Assistant doesn't argue but gently returns client to conversation goal.

Consultation booking

Google Calendar integration:

• Automatically checks available slots

• Offers 2-3 nearest options

• Books client

• Sends email confirmation

Result: Consultants see bookings in calendar and prepare for meetings in advance.

Geography filtering

If company only works in one city:

• Assistant filters clients from other regions

• Offers paid online consultation

• Doesn't waste consultants' time on unsuitable clients

Alternative product work

If client doesn't qualify for mortgage:

• Assistant offers personal loan (if income exists)

• Clarifies conditions and service costs

• Passes application to manager

Result: Don't lose clients who don't fit main product.

24/7 support

Assistant works around the clock:

• Answers questions anytime

• Qualifies clients at night and on weekends

• Passes information to consultants in morning

Result: No missed inquiries. Clients happy with instant responses.

Integrations for mortgage brokers

Google Calendar

Synchronization with consultant calendars:

• Real-time available slot checking

• Automatic client booking

• Work schedule setup (9 AM-6 PM weekdays, 9 AM-1 PM Saturday)

• Sunday and holiday blocking

How it works:

1. Client selects consultation day

2. Assistant checks free slots in calendar

3. Offers 2-3 nearest options

4. Books client automatically

5. Consultant sees booking in Google Calendar

WhatsApp and Telegram

Work in popular messengers:

• 78% of clients prefer WhatsApp for business correspondence

• Telegram used by 45% of young audience

• Assistant works in both channels simultaneously

CRM systems

Integration with Bitrix24 or amoCRM:

• Automatic client card creation

• Filling data from qualification

• Information transfer to consultant

• Deal status tracking

Knowledge base

Assistant works with internal knowledge base:

• Bank conditions

• Mortgage lending programs

• Borrower requirements

• Answers to frequent questions

Important: Assistant never invents information. If data is missing from knowledge base — passes question to consultant.

How much time and money the AI assistant saves

Time savings calculation

Without AI:

• 50 inquiries per week

• 15 minutes to qualify one client

• 50 × 15 minutes = 750 minutes = 12.5 hours per week

• Only 40% of clients meet requirements

• 7.5 hours spent on unsuitable clients

With AI:

• Assistant qualifies everyone in 2-3 minutes

• Consultants only work with suitable clients

• Savings: 7.5 hours × 4 weeks = 30 hours per month

30 hours per month = 360 hours per year consultant can spend closing deals instead of qualifying.

Money savings calculation

Consultant costs:

• Salary: $2,000/month

• Benefits and taxes: $500/month

• Total: $2,500/month

AI assistant cost:

• Pleep Business: $85/month

• Savings: $2,500 - $85 = $2,415/month

But it's not just about salary savings. The main thing is conversion.

Lost revenue calculation

Without AI:

• 50 inquiries per week = 200 inquiries per month

• 35% come evening/night = 70 inquiries without response

• 40% of them would meet requirements = 28 lost clients

• Average commission $500 per deal

• Conversion from inquiry to deal: 30%

• 28 × 0.30 × $500 = $4,200 lost revenue

With AI:

• All 70 evening inquiries processed

• 28 suitable clients qualified

• 28 × 0.30 × $500 = $4,200 additional revenue

Revenue increase: $4,200 per month

AI assistant ROI: ($4,200 - $85) / $85 × 100% = 4,841%

Pays for itself in the first week.

5 mistakes when implementing AI assistant for mortgages

Mistake 1: Too strict qualification

Wrong: Client said no down payment → assistant immediately refuses.

Right: Assistant informs that options can be found even without down payment and offers consultation.

Why: Client may have collateral property, maternity capital, parents ready to help. Don't cut off options automatically.

Mistake 2: Not working with alternative products

Wrong: Client doesn't qualify for mortgage → assistant ends conversation.

Right: Assistant offers personal loan, refinancing, other financial services.

Why: Client who was refused now may return in six months with closed late payments. Save contact.

Mistake 3: Ignoring geography

Wrong: Company only works in one city, but assistant qualifies clients from everywhere and passes to consultants.

Right: Assistant filters clients by city and offers online consultation for other regions.

Why: Consultants waste time on clients they can't help.

Mistake 4: Not integrating calendar

Wrong: Assistant collects contacts and passes to consultant → consultant calls and arranges time.

Right: Assistant immediately books specific time through Google Calendar integration.

Why: Extra call = extra friction. Client may change mind or not answer.

Mistake 5: Not training assistant in objection handling

Wrong: Client says "expensive" → assistant responds "okay, thanks for reaching out."

Right: Assistant handles objection: "I understand your concern. Let's calculate exact savings at consultation — our clients on average save $10,000 on interest through correct program selection. This covers service cost in first month."

Why: 60-70% of clients have doubts. If you don't handle objections — you lose them.
