Revolutionizing Your Credit Union's Purchase Mortgage Marketing: A How-To Guide

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Nov. 14, 2017 - PRLog -- Technology has been disrupting traditional business models for years. It has been particularly challenging for purchase mortgage marketing departments at credit unions. This is because, today, any company with a web presence and online marketing capabilities is competing for their members' home loans.

How can a CU become a competitive force in what seems to be a saturated market of mortgage providers? It's a struggle facing 90 percent of CUs in the U.S.

The answer is to harness the power of the technology that is disrupting the status quo and use it to attract, identify, nurture and close more purchase mortgage loans. HomeAdvantage,® a turnkey real estate program from CU Realty Services (CURS), is the solution being used by hundreds of credit unions across the U.S. CUs using HomeAdvantage often see closings increase by 40 percent or more!

A new, six-page eBook from CU Realty Services—the largest real estate CUSO in the U.S.—reveals how credit unions can take advantage of marketplace changes and close more mortgages. "A Revolution in Purchase Mortgage Marketing: How Technology Opened the Door for Credit Unions to Attract, Identify, Nurture and Close More Purchase Mortgage Loans," presents a step-by-step introduction to a proven, systematic approach to grow a CU's purchase mortgage business. Inside the pages, credit unions can access details about:

• Why technology and evolution matter for CU mortgage marketing departments

• The key phases of home buying and why it's important to understand them

• How to attract, identify and nurture home buying and selling members early in their home buying journey

"Change is hard, especially when your business model is being forced to change," said Tina Powers, chief operating officer at CU Realty. "That's what disruptive technology does...it challenges the status quo. But credit union mortgage marketing departments don't need to fear what is the new normal. Technology is actually making their work easier, more efficient and more effective. And that's a good thing."
