Free technology and cool stuff that saves money and time
It's amazing to me that in this day and age of technology how many loan officers do not make the investment into technology that could save their clients thousands of dollars
and save everybody time. 
There are a few places a loan officer can go to sign up and pay for a service to alert them of rate changes. Essentially, It's real time trading of mortgage backed securities to help the loan officer decide when to lock or when to float a rate. The one I choose to use is TBWS Rate Alert because I believe it to be the best and most comprehensive alert program in market. It also includes an economic calendar that tells me when economic reports are due that could infuence mortgage rates.
When used properly it can save your client thousands of dollars and also increase your profits. A great example is a loan I just finished for a customer in California with a large loan amount. By using my rate alerting service I floated his rate knowing that rates would likely drop. As a result he saved over $5,000 in costs and secured a lower rate than we had initially discussed. This isn't magic and it isn't rocket science, it's using technology to provide "Service".
The use of Facebook and other social media is at the forefront these days when it comes to real estate and lending. But I rarely hear about the technological support items we use so here are a few I like to use: I've been using this for years, electronic signatures known as Suredocs by Alamode.
This allows me and my customers to electronically sign all loan documentation on their computer without ever having to print paper or use a pen.
I also utilize Loan Toolbox for my customers and referral partners. Quarterly newsletters and breaking news updates keep my referral partners and customers informed of financial and mortgage news that can affect them. It also includes templates that I use to design open house flyers to assist my referral agents in promoting their listing.

Back to items that cost money

PB Next allows me to have a toll free number that works as an e-fax, has multiple extensions, hold music, records conversations and forwards calls to each user's cell phone or other number when not in the office.
I only use my website to generate new business. Why?
Taking this concept from a leading Active Rain member
Diane Aurit,
The Active Rain blog is much more useful than a traditional website because it is constantly updated. Many websites contain old outdated information. Diane brought this fact to my attention and made me place more emphasis on my blog. Thanks Diane! Visit her blog by clicking her photo.
New lending rules that affect the customer can be sent immediately by posting a link on Twitter, Facebook or by me recording a personal video relating to the new changes and sending the link via e-mail using the cutting edge technology of TBWS video hosting.
