See how we generate motivated refinance leads
Refinance leads close fast. 30-45 days when they're motivated.
So why are you sharing them with 10 other lenders?
By the time everyone's done calling and quoting rates, the borrower either goes with the lowest bidder (goodbye margin) or gets so overwhelmed they stop answering the phone for anyone.
Exclusive refinance mortgage leads are different. You're the only one calling. You can actually discuss their goals - lower payment, cash for renovations, debt consolidation - instead of just shouting rates.
We built the refinance lead generation systems for Zillow and Bankrate. Now we build them for you.
The Refinance Lead Race to the Bottom
Here's what happens with shared refinance leads:
Minute 1: Lead submits form on LendingTree
Minutes 2-5: Five lenders call simultaneously
Minute 6: Three more lenders call
Day 1: Borrower has 15 quotes, all within .125% of each other
Day 3: Goes with whoever called at the right moment
Your result: Either lost the deal or won with no margin
The Exclusive Advantage: When you're the only lender calling, the conversation shifts from "what's your rate?" to "what are you trying to accomplish?"
You become their refinance advisor, not just another rate quoter. Plus, every cash-out client needs help with their project - creating partnership opportunities with contractors and advisors.
This is why exclusive refinance leads convert at 2-5X better rates and maintain healthy margins.

Every Type of Refinance Lead, Generated Exclusively
Rate & Term Refinance Leads
The bread and butter when rates drop.
How We Target Them:
- Monitor borrowers with rates above current market
- Target specific loan amounts and property types
- Reach recent buyers from high-rate periods
- Convert payment reduction seekers
What Makes Them Exclusive:
- YOUR brand on every ad and form
- No other lender gets their information
- Instant response mentions YOUR company
- You control the conversation
Cash-Out Refinance Leads
The hidden goldmine of partnership opportunities.
Strategic Targeting:
- Homeowners with 30%+ equity
- Home improvement researchers
- Debt consolidation seekers
- Investment property planners
The Partnership Multiplier: Every cash-out client tells you their plans. That's your opportunity:
- Kitchen renovation? Connect them with your contractor
- Paying off debt? Introduce your financial advisor
- Buying rental? Your realtor partner gets the referral
FHA/VA Streamline Refinance Leads
Simplified refis for government loan holders.
Targeting Approach:
- FHA loans from 2+ years ago
- VA loans with rate reduction potential
- No appraisal needed messaging
- Reduced documentation appeals
Why They Convert Fast: Streamline refis have fewer hurdles. 30-day closes are common with exclusive leads.
Refinance Lead Quality Metrics
The Speed Advantage: While purchase leads take 6-12 months, motivated refi leads close in 30-45 days. But only if they're exclusive. Shared leads drag out as borrowers shop every lender.
The Blended Portfolio Power:
- Paid campaigns: 2-5% conversion
- Organic search: 5-12% conversion
- Partner referrals: 30-50%+ conversion
This blend delivers the $1,200-$2,000 CPFL that makes refinance lead generation profitable.
"Shared refi leads were killing my margins. Everyone quotes the same rate, nobody wins. Now I generate 40-50 exclusive refi leads monthly. I can actually talk about their goals, not just rates. Best part? My cash-out clients love when I connect them with my contractor network. Those contractors send me deals now too."

Turn Refinance Leads Into Partnership Gold
Here's what most LOs miss: every refinance lead tells you exactly what they need next.
The Natural Connection Strategy:
"I'm renovating my kitchen" → "I work with an excellent contractor who specializes in kitchens. Want an introduction?"
"Paying off credit cards" → "My financial advisor helps people invest those monthly savings. Worth a conversation?"
"Buying an investment property" → "Let me connect you with my realtor who focuses on rental properties."
You're not getting paid for these connections. You're just being helpful. But watch what happens:
- Client appreciates the introduction
- Contractor/advisor gets quality referral
- They remember who sends them business
- Referrals start flowing back to you
The Follow-Up That Matters: 30 days after closing: "How's the renovation going?"
- If there are issues, you help solve them
- If it's great, you strengthen both relationships
- Either way, you're the connector who cares
This only works with exclusive leads. You can't build these relationships when you're racing to quote rates.
Why Timing Matters for Refinance Leads
Rate Drops = Gold Rush When rates fall 0.5%, everyone wants to refinance. But here's the problem with shared leads during these periods:
- Every lender is desperate for deals
- Borrowers get 20+ calls per day
- Pure rate competition, zero differentiation
- Margins disappear completely
Exclusive Leads During Rate Drops:
- You're the only one calling
- Can discuss timing strategies
- Build pipeline for when rush ends
- Maintain reasonable margins
High Rate Periods Still Work Cash-out and debt consolidation make sense regardless of rates:
- Homeowners still need renovations
- Credit card rates always higher than mortgages
- Investment opportunities don't wait
The key: exclusive leads let you have these strategic conversations instead of just quoting rates.
The Refinance Lead Decision
Every shared refinance lead you buy funds a race to the bottom. Lowest rate wins. Margins disappear. Relationships never form.
Exclusive refinance mortgage leads change the game:
- Close in 30-45 days (when motivated)
- Protect your margins from rate wars
- Create partnership opportunities
- Build actual client relationships
Market Opportunity: Even in higher rate environments, cash-out refis for renovations and debt consolidation still make sense. The homeowners pulling $50K+ for projects need your expertise, not just a rate quote.
