Today, we are witnessing the most serious recession of the past decades. Midst this crisis, people try to live their lives normally, organize their time and space and make dreams about the future. Buying a house is among these dreams. Mortgage brokers are also trying to survive the unfriendly conditions and even expand their businesses, promoting the products available in the marketplace. Even if you as a broker are already actively marketing, there are still new options you might try, or ideas you have not yet implemented that can turn past clients and prospective clients into current business.

For brokers, marketing can take many different forms, as it is a versatile and flexible option. There are numerous techniques and methods that can apply in direct marketing or networking campaign. Here are some tips for you to consider.

Benefit from existing clientele: Besides your database of past clients, you have hopefully created a list of potential clients who have expressed some interest in your services or who could be interested under the right circumstances. Use these lists to generate new business by sending out post cards or flyers, or by having someone call the prospective client. Share with the prospect the benefits of obtaining a mortgage now and how you can help them.

Market to professionals: one good way to find new clients is to receive referrals from the people who work with potential borrowers. Attorneys, financial consultants, even architects can provide you with lists of potential borrowers and clients. You can get in touch with potential clients, informing them on your products and offers. The idea is to make them trust you and address you when time comes. When you are referred by someone you already trust, clients have fewer hesitations in approaching you for a home loan.

Approach sellers: homes for sale by owners can be a great marketing venue. You can come in contact with sellers and buyers; buyers can be interested in financing the actual purchase and the sellers might be interested in applying for money in order to buy a new house once the old one is sold.

Compelling message: the cornerstone of every marketing campaign is the communication of the right message. People who seek for a mortgage need to deal with several problems and issues related to their future purchase; brokers who can meet their borrowers‘ needs and communicate their ability in a believable way are the one who expand their business even during difficult economy.
