They truly offer an all-in-one package that puts loan originators in the best position to market themselves.

But, what makes them more interesting is that they’re really making tracks moving towards modern marketing as they include social networking services as well. Loan originators that are tired of working with various service providers that have a stuffy attitude will certainly appreciate Openclose, as they’ve got a website filled with emoticons and snarky statements; but neither of these things are presented in a way that’s unprofessional, it just shows they’re with the times!

eTrafficers combines two essential services that loan officers require to run a successful business; website hosting and development, and lead generation. There are multiple packages that loan originators can choose from to meet their needs, and these depend upon the size of the company. A smaller package is appropriate for a single loan originator, and a larger one is better for an organization with multiple branches. eTrafficers focuses upon building consistency with websites as well, so if there are multiple linked together; for example, a company website, with separate branch websites and then websites for each loan originator, they’re all designed to look and feel the same.

The tools that come with the eTrafficers website packages also allow for file storage, automatic rate alerts that get sent out, and lots of options for design. It actually appears as though eTrafficers has far more layout and design choices than many of their competitors which is a great reason to make use of their services.

• Leads are legitimate, there are no gimmicks used to attract them
• the volume of the leads is based upon what the mortgage company can handle

Sources of leads are legitimate and renowned sites like HomeLoanSearch.com, MortgageLocators.com and QuickRefinance.com.

eTrafficers Website Add-On Options

In addition to the base web development services, eTrafficers offers a number of different plugins such as:

• an application center
• mortgage calculators that visitors will have access to
• site analysis and custom logo design to enhance the web design services

eTraffic Pricing and Contact Information

MorSystem’s board is comprised of a diverse team of professionals. Richard Whitworth, President and CEO has served as President of Nations MortgageBanc for 22 years. He has been a technology leader in the broker end of the business for the past 9 years, developing first a “low tech” video to assist borrowers in completing the loan application form. That video led to the idea of building the Borroware® client loan application software, written so even a first time home buyer can complete the application – the success of that software coupled with Richard’s advanced mortgage broker web site technologies led him to establish MorSystems.
