Improving Borrower Pull Through Rate

1. Improving Borrower Pull Through Rate The mortgage industry is as competitive as ever. The good news is that for the last few months, lenders have been processing some consistently high volumes. Having said that, the real winners are the technology-enabled lenders who are leveraging technology to get the most from the applications that they are processing. The non-tech-enabled lenders that sourced and spent significant time engaging the potential borrower are experiencing lower pull-through rates and are left with no revenue to offset the cost of lead generation and loan prequalification. Borrowers are being enticed to move to the new technology- enabled lenders for faster processing and overall experience that is delivered through available technology. It’s not uncommon for non-technology enabled lenders to experience pull-through rates (the number of applications that actually close) of less than 35% in a refi market. This represents a large cost to the non-technology enabled lenders as they never realize the income from the closed loan, yet bear all the costs of lead generation, loan prequalification and more. What can lenders do to improve this pull- through rate? Improving Pull Through Rates: What contributes to an improved pull-through rate?

A borrower who can have their loan processed quickly and efficiently will be happy with the overall lending experience and be less likely to be enticed to move to another lender mid-process. This translates into higher conversion and pull-through rates for the lender. Speeding up Processing Once the borrower submits documents, the relevant data from these documents need to be extracted and made available in the LOS for the underwriting review of the loan. With most lenders, this process tends to be manual or semi-manual (leveraging help from third-party vendors/BPO service providers) thereby inviting a higher potential for errors typically associated with manual processes. Most lenders would want to make this process fast, efficient error-free and accessible within their LOS. Visionet’s VisiLoanReview (VLR) has a fully functional integration with Encompass®.
