Manually searching for loan products, rates and pricing is slow and inefficient and may result in pricing errors, inaccurate data, or compliance issue. Mortgage lenders can automate this process using PPEs as well as integrate it with their current mortgage process. We take a look at the top pricing engines available for the mortgage industry.
Product and Pricing Engines (PPE) are tools used by mortgage lenders to enhance their lending strategy and operations.
Benefits of using a PPE for mortgage lenders
- PPEs help lender to save time by automating the process, keep data accurate and in sync, quickly find a variety of offers, and get notified on pricing changes that affect the loan scenarios.
- PPEs eliminate the need for loan officers to manually search, compare, and price mortgage products.
- Using PPE lenders can automatically see best execution pricing and incorporate mortgage rates into rate calculations.
- Mortgage lenders can customize their pricing options based on lead or CRM sources since most of the PPEs integrate directly with the preexisting mortgage software platforms like a CRM, LOS, or POS.
- PPEs can auto-generate elegant rate sheets, eliminating the need to create manual rate sheets.
- Lenders can Lower costs, close loans faster, ensure accuracy and transparency and stay compliant with the regulations.
