Total Expert Email Content

(Automated/Manual)

Each email is noted as automated or manual, so you can easily decide how and when to deploy them.

Community Lending Program Email

(Manual)

We refreshed our Community Lending Program email following the recent market expansion announcement. B2B and B2C versions are available.

This email highlights a program offering below-market rates with eligibility based on property location rather than income limits. It’s a great way to introduce the program to buyers and real estate partners who may not realize these opportunities exist.

Escrow Shortage
Notice Email

(Manual)

Escrow shortage notices can catch homeowners off guard. This email helps explain why they happen and reassures clients that it’s typically related to taxes or insurance — not their interest rate.

A helpful touchpoint when clients receive one of these notices and have questions.

What's New

Stay ahead of the curve with the latest marketing tools, insights, and resources!  

60-Day Pre-Qualification/Buyer Engagement Journey

Stay connected with your buyers without adding more to your plate. Our new Pre-Qualification/Buyer Engagement Campaign is a 12-email Journey designed to keep your clients engaged while they search for a home. It reinforces your value, delivers timely education, and helps position you as a trusted guide from pre-approval through offer stage.

Each email is strategically timed to match where your client is in the process—so you stay relevant when it matters most.

The Journey will automatically be added to the borrower (and co-borrower, if applicable) when the “Print Conditional Qualification Letter” button is selected in Encompass, provided no property address has been entered.

The Journey will automatically end once the loan moves to In Process or if the loan status changes.

Pre-Qualification Video Templates (Pilot Program)

Marketing is piloting a new way to deliver personalized pre-qualification video updates, without requiring you to record each video from scratch.

By submitting a quick form with key borrower details, along with a few short video clips (scripts provided), we’ll create a polished, branded video update for you and your client. It’s a simple, time-saving way to keep borrowers informed while adding a more personal, high-touch experience.
