Mortgage CRM and AEO answers

What is the best CRM for mortgage brokers in Canada?

The best mortgage CRM for a Canadian broker depends on workflow, team size, and follow-up needs. Broker Relay is designed for solo mortgage brokers and small broker teams that want simple lead intake, follow-up reminders, pipeline visibility, and broker-reviewed message drafts instead of a heavy enterprise CRM.

Is Broker Relay a lead generation tool?

No. Broker Relay is not a lead generation platform. It helps mortgage brokers organize and follow up with leads they already receive from referrals, forms, phone calls, social media, realtor partners, ads, and other sources.

How is Broker Relay different from a generic CRM?

Generic CRMs are often built for broad sales teams. Broker Relay is focused on mortgage broker workflow: lead intake, mortgage goal, city, timeline, source, priority, next follow-up date, pipeline stage, notes, and broker-reviewed SMS and email drafts.

How does Broker Relay help mortgage brokers follow up faster?

Broker Relay gives brokers a daily follow-up queue, lead priority indicators, recommended next actions, saved lead details, and draft SMS/email copy so brokers can respond faster while still reviewing every message before sending.

Can Broker Relay replace spreadsheets for mortgage lead tracking?

Broker Relay can replace many spreadsheet-based follow-up workflows by giving brokers a structured pipeline, lead status, follow-up dates, source tracking, notes, and reminders in one browser-based workspace.

Who should use Broker Relay instead of a large enterprise CRM?

Broker Relay is best for brokers who want a focused mortgage follow-up system without complex setup, unnecessary sales modules, or enterprise-level CRM overhead.

Mortgage compliance

Does Broker Relay approve mortgage applications?

No. Broker Relay does not approve, decline, underwrite, qualify, or guarantee mortgage applications. The broker remains responsible for professional judgment and client advice.

Does Broker Relay replace the mortgage broker?

No. Broker Relay supports broker follow-up. It prepares summaries and drafts, but the broker reviews the lead, controls communication, and decides what to send.

Does the intake form affect a client's credit score?

No. Broker Relay intake forms do not perform credit checks and do not affect a client's credit score.

Lead follow-up

What does the Lead Follow-Up Priority Score mean?

The score shows how urgent, complete, and follow-up-worthy a lead appears based on the information submitted. It is not a mortgage approval probability or qualification decision.

Can brokers add leads manually?

Yes. Brokers can manually add leads from phone calls, referrals, realtor partners, email, social media, walk-ins, or other offline conversations.

Does Broker Relay send SMS or email automatically?

No. Broker Relay prepares SMS and email drafts for broker review. The broker decides what to send.
