Monthly Guidelines Update & The Best of the Ask the Experts

Guidelines change constantly, and keeping up with those changes makes you look smarter than your competition. Our experts review the guideline changes and how they apply to you each month in a quick and easy-to-read format called our “Rules Issue.” Then, we publish our “Q&A Issue,” which is the “Best of” our Ask the Expert questions, monthly, containing a sample of those questions and answers each month to help you learn from questions from your peers.

05

Agency Bulletins Forms and Guidance

You don’t need to search the agency sites for agency bulletins because we keep them all in one place for you. Once a bulletin is issued, we add it to the site, provide a quick explanation, and update any charts. If it is an urgent update, we email you and post it immediately on our social media sites. 

06

Lunch & Learn Presentations

Training and education are great ways to inform your referral audience and position yourself as the expert. Our graphics team and technical writers have designed ready-to-customize Lunch & Learn presentations that can be used for in-person meetings, webinars, or self-leaning. And, because we write a script for each presentation, you can use the script to make a quick social media video on many topics. –> See Example

07

Mortgage Talking Points

Our content developers turn complex guidelines into educational content for your referral audience. Use this content for a quick referral meeting, social media post, video, newsletter, or any other way you distribute information to your audience. –> See Example

Rule Calendar

When an agency issues a guideline change, it does not mean it is effective that day! The new guideline can be based on the closing date, application date, case number assignment, sale to the agency, or any other time frame. Our Rules Calendar shows you when a guideline is changing so you can ensure you don’t miss a crucial rule change.

Social Media Posts

You know that posting regularly captures your network’s eyes and brings you more referrals! Our social media posts make that easy, save you time, and help you stay consistently engaged with your network.
