Mortgages previously arranged will still be held in the database for future reference. ‘Total Cases’for the selected adviser are counted here. Select an adviser from the list and the details appear…. Plenty of room to add additional notes for each adviser …over on this side You can only delete an adviser if there are no mortgages assigned to them. Clicking the button will tell you if Mortgage Tracker cannot delete the adviser because there are mortgages or prospects assigned. Navigate to other screens using the buttons along the bottom.

These are the nine in progress mortgages for David Foggerty.Double Click a client to view their mortgage process details.Let’s try Lindsay Carrington To view the Lenders click the button.
New Lenders To go to the Lenders website click the hyperlink to launch your browser. When you enter a new lender you will have to find out their website address and enter it in. Some Lenders have online tracking systems, allowing you to easily record the updated information into Mortgage Tracker. If a lender changes name, tick the Inactive box to retain mortgage details for previously arranged mortgages. Then use the ‘New’ button to add the new name they are using. Lenders are listed here.If the Lender isn’t in view use the scroll bars to move up and down the list or key in the first letter of the Lender name to move to that part of the list. Enter the contact information specific to the process centres you use. To add a new Lender to the database select ‘New’. You can print out the entire list of lenders and their contact numbers

Clicking the button will reveal the active cases. Click the ‘Show Details’ button to return to the lender details. In the same way as the adviser screen did, a double click on any of the client details will take you to that mortgage process screen
After changing the dates you click ‘Apply Filter’ to show completions for the specified date range. Lender Completed Cases Click the ‘Completed Cases’ button to view all completed cases with this lender This is now a list of completed mortgages between 01/01/02 and 25/09/02 Double clicking on any of the mortgages in the list will take you directly to the process screen for that client.

New Introducer Durham Advertiser is selected in this example. Let’s see what the Introducer ‘Referral’ looks like. The introducer database can be used to give you reports on how much business you are getting from a particular source.Some of the introducers, for example ‘Referrals’ will not need address details entered. The address and contact information would be useful to have for future reference. The Durham Advertiser, ‘Source’ is a list that can be added to and enables reports to be assembled on how much business was written from any particular source. For example, how did the business written from the 22nd April 2002 advert compare to business written from the previous adverts. To add an Introducer click ‘New’.
Referrals Address and contact information is not required for this ‘Introducer’. By listing the source of the introduction you can create reports to show how much business is coming from the people in your list. If someone new refers business to you simply add their name to the list here.
Main Menu 2 Most of the data in the Advisers, Lenders, Solicitors, Companies, Introducers and Estate Agents database won’t change much.The Clients/Prospects will be changed and added to more frequently. To get started with a new mortgage to process we need to either add a new client, process a new mortgage for an existing client in the database or convert a prospect into a client.Click the Client/Prospect button next.
Client to Process If there was more than one client with a surname of Hayes they would all be listed here. In this example Irene Hayes is the client we are after and her details will appear by clicking on her name. Enter the surname of the client and press the ‘Enter’ button on your keyboard. Irene Hayes details have been entered onto the database previously and you would like find her in your list of clients/prospects. You could either scroll down the list to find her or you could use the filter list. This client was introduced to us by an advert placed in the Durham Adviser on the 22nd April 2002. For each client there is a count of mortgages that are completed and in progress. To start a new mortgage process for Irene click the Add/Edit Mortgage button.

Today is the 3rd August and James McDonald’s mortgage has completed.The completion date has been entered and also the penalty expiry date.IMPORTANT The penalty expiry date is very important as it is part of the Marketing reports that will prompt you when this client should re-mortgage. During the mortgage process you can type a letter to your client. This tab takes you to to the letters screen. To find out if the client was happy with your service and to get some introductions to friends, family or colleagues, send the questionnaire. There is also a prompt to contact the lender on the 6th August.
Letters When the letter is complete, exit the memo pad here Also for each mortgage process is an extensive notes box for anything connected with this mortgage. Your letters are stored by the title. They can be retrieved and edited by selecting from the list. And the relevant information selected for addition to the letter.. You can format the text however you want.

Had this been a remortgage then the home address can be entered into this section by clicking the ‘Copy Home Address’ button As this client is a first time buyer, on completion of the mortgage you will need to update the property address to the home address A confirmation message asks if you want to proceed. Yes we do.
NPW Over the years that you use Mortgage Tracker you will build up a list of processes for each client. Over 25 years they could move and re-mortgage several times.The most recent process is always at the top of the list.You can revisit any process by clicking on the address. At any stage of the mortgage process there may be a problem that ends in termination of that process.Maybe the property was down valued or client was refused by this particular lender. All details of that process, however far it proceeded, can be stored on the database. If you are trying again with another lender, just start a new process. By clicking NPW (Not Proceeded With) the Lender and Adviser have a running total of cases against them. This makes it easier to identify, particularly against a lender, if they are failing at a particular stage. Put a tick in here to show it was NPW’d.Otherwise, leave this blank.
Archive But once you have arranged his remortgage you will start a new process on the system which will give you your ‘next contact’ prompts. Therefore you will need to archive this case so you don’t get any more prompts.Note: The reports for your statistics etc will not be affected by archiving the case – only the ‘next contact’ date is affected. At some point in the future you will need not need any prompts for this mortgage. For now there is a prompt date to give Jim a call a couple of months before the penalty expiry date. At this moment in time the answer is No because we need to be reminded that the penalty will expire in September 2003 Tick the Archive box and you receive a message asking you to confirm your action.

Main Menu 3 As mentioned earlier, if you obtain an introduction to someone and they want to buy a property or re-mortgage when their penalty expires we still need to log the information so we don’t miss the opportunity.The Clients/Prospects button will take us to the same screen we used before but with slightly different options.
Prospect The main contact details have been entered the same as last time. From our notes we can see that we are not starting a new process until about November/December time So we click the prospect tag, then we can add a ‘Next Contact’ to the database. The source is a referral so we can track how effective we are at getting referrals Any data we have can be recorded in the ‘Prospect Info’ screen.
Prospect Info The screen is similar to the actual process screen. If it was a re-mortgage for example, you may want to record details of the current lender’s mortgage and property details.The redemption penalty date would also be useful to have. The notes tab is available for any other useful information. Whatever date you enter in here will appear on your prompt list when the day arrives. Enter a contact reason to remind you why you are calling. It could be 5 years from now. Even though these clients don’t have a mortgage currently and therefore no penalty, you can still put a date in here. There is a marketing letter generated from this date box.
Prospect Process All the information is entered and the time has arrived to convert this prospect into a client. 3rd November 2001 Back to Clients Create New Process
Prospect Convert Remove the tick from the Prospect tag Now you can start to process the new mortgage
Saved to Notes Whatever information you had relating to the prospects previous mortgage is stored here next to the relevant heading.Any contact history or next contact information is still held in the mortgage details tab. Back to the main menu
