Explaining Mortgage Loan Options, Handling Objections and Standing Out using Co-Browsing

Explaining Mortgage Loan Options, Handling Objections and Standing Out using Co-Browsing

July 14, 2022

Watch a couple of hundred loan officer sales script videos on YouTube and you can't miss the underlying message that borrowers don't understand loan options and strategies. Below see how 5 second screen sharing to their phone changes this.

The Co-Browsing extension shares your browser tab (containing your presentation or loan calculator or whatever you wish) directly to a borrower's phone or PC in 5 seconds.

This gives you a new way of communicating. Below are examples of using it.

When a borrower asks what type of loans you offer

When you can share any tab you wish, you can show your customer any explanation and act as their guide rather than a salesperson.

Without the Co-Browsing extension

Borrower: "What types of loans do you have?"

Loan officer: "We offer fixed rate, ARMs, there's 8 year, 20 year, 30 year fixed, we have.... "

With the Co-Browsing extension

Share your browser tab directly to their phone, in 5 seconds, so they have something to look at.

Borrower: "What types of loans do you have? Should I get an ARM?"

Loan officer: "I'm going to show you the type of loans we have and the benefits of each one. Open the link I've just texted to you.... "

When a borrower just wants the lowest rate

Without the Co-Browsing extension

Borrower: "I just want the lowest rate you have"

Loan officer: "It's not as simple as that, you need..."

With the Co-Browsing extension

Borrower: "I just want the lowest rate you have"

Loan officer: "I'll show you the strategy behind the loan so you can see that the lowest rate is not always the lowest monthly payment. I've just sent you a link so you can see what I see."

Without the Co-Browsing extension

Borrower: "What's the smallest down payment I can make?"

Loan officer: "Well, different mortgages come with different down payment requirements... "

With the Co-Browsing extension

Borrower: "What's the smallest down payment I can make?"

Loan officer: "I'll show you the calculator now"
