Proactive greeting

When to use: Fire it after a visitor spends a few seconds on a mortgage or rates page.

When to use

Rate inquiry

When to use: Use when a visitor asks about rates before any application or credit check.

When to use

A visitor asks what rate they can get on a loan type before applying.

Script

Great question, visitor first name. I want to be straight with you: I am not able to quote a specific rate in chat, because your rate depends on details we have not looked at yet.

A few things shape it -- your credit profile, the loan amount and term, your down payment, and current market conditions. That is why an honest number comes after a quick application, not before.

What I can do right now is explain how loan type pricing generally works and what tends to help you qualify for a stronger rate.

If you would like real numbers tailored to you, I can connect you with a licensed loan officer at lender name for a no-obligation estimate.

I am agent name -- shall I set that up, or would you like to understand the basics first?

3

Pre-approval start

When to use: Use when a visitor is ready to start pre-approval or asks how to begin.

When to use

A visitor wants to start pre-approval or asks how the first step works.

Script

Happy to help you get started, visitor first name. Pre-approval is a great first move -- it shows sellers you are serious and gives you a clear budget to shop with.

Here is the honest version of how it works: a licensed loan officer reviews your income, assets, and credit, then issues a pre-approval letter. It is a strong indication, though not a final guarantee, since the full loan still goes through underwriting.

To begin, you will complete a short, secure application. You can start it here whenever you are ready: application link.

Have things like recent pay stubs and bank statements handy and it will move quickly.

I am agent name with lender name -- want me to walk you through the first section, or answer questions before you dive in?

4

Document request

When to use: Use when an applicant needs to know which documents to submit next.

When to use

An applicant is ready to submit documents and needs to know what to send.

Script

Thanks, visitor first name -- let us get your file moving. To keep things on track, here is what we typically need next.

Usually that is your two most recent pay stubs, the last two months of bank statements, and a copy of your photo ID. If you are self-employed, recent tax returns help too. Each item simply verifies income and funds so underwriting can move forward.

You can send everything through our secure upload here: upload link. Please avoid emailing sensitive documents -- the secure link keeps your information protected.

If anything is hard to locate, tell me and I will suggest an alternative that works.

I am agent name with lender name, and I will confirm the moment your documents arrive.

5

Refinance question

When to use: Use when a visitor asks whether they should refinance their mortgage.

When to use

A homeowner asks whether refinancing their mortgage is worth it.

Script

Good question, visitor first name. Whether a refinance makes sense really depends on your goal and your numbers, so I will not promise savings I cannot back up.

It helps to start with what you are after. Are you hoping to lower your monthly payment, pay the loan off faster, or tap equity for refi goal? Each of those points to a different approach.

A refinance also has costs, so the math matters -- sometimes it clearly pays off, and sometimes it is better to wait. I would rather give you an honest read than a sales pitch.

The clearest next step is a quick review with a licensed loan officer at lender name who can run real scenarios for your situation.

I am agent name -- want me to arrange that, or talk through the basics first?

6

Handoff to loan officer

When to use: Use when a conversation needs a licensed officer for rates or specifics.

When to use

A visitor needs a licensed loan officer for rates, numbers, or an application.

Script

You are asking exactly the right questions, visitor first name, and I want to get you a precise answer rather than a rough one.

For anything involving your actual rate, numbers, or application, the best person is one of our licensed loan officers. I am going to connect you with officer name at lender name, who handles this every day.

Here is what to expect: I will pass along the details you have shared so you do not have to repeat yourself, and officer name will reach out within callback window.

In the meantime, is there anything else I can line up or clarify to make that first conversation easier?

Thanks for your patience -- you are in good hands from here.
