A calm, professional email that honestly addresses a loan delay, gives context, and outlines the next step — without alarming your borrower or Realtor.
Write an email to [Borrower Name] and their Realtor [Realtor Name] explaining that their loan has a delay. Reason: [e.g., underwriting needs additional income documentation / appraisal came in short / title issue discovered]. Expected impact on timeline: [e.g., 3–5 additional business days]. Keep it honest but reassuring. Include next steps. Under 200 words.
View full prompt →Tip: Be honest about the reason and timeline — vague language ("just a minor thing") erodes trust. Verify your timeline estimate is realistic before sending; promising a 3-day resolution and missing it is worse than the original delay.
A clear, borrower-friendly comparison of two or three loan options — with payment examples and honest trade-offs your borrower can share with their spouse or family.
Explain the difference between [loan option 1, e.g., 30-year fixed at 7.25%] and [loan option 2, e.g., 5/1 ARM at 6.375%] for a borrower with a $[amount] loan who plans to stay in the home [X] years. Show approximate monthly payment difference and explain the key risk of each option. Plain English, no jargon.
View full prompt →Tip: Include how long the borrower plans to stay in the home — it changes which option looks better significantly. Clarify in any email you send that the payments are illustrative, not locked quotes.
A complete monthly email newsletter to send to your past clients and prospects — covering the rate environment, housing market notes, and one actionable tip.
Write a monthly mortgage market update email for my past clients and prospects. Current 30-year fixed rate: approximately [X]%. Key market notes: [e.g., spring buying season starting, inventory still tight, rates expected to stabilize]. Include: 1) brief rate update, 2) one tip for homeowners (e.g., when to consider refinancing, how to build equity faster), 3) a soft call to action to reach out for a free rate review. Conversational tone, ~300 words.
View full prompt →Tip: You must supply the current rate — AI has no live market data and will hallucinate if you don't provide it. Add 1-2 local market details (your city's inventory, a seasonal trend) to make the newsletter feel personal rather than generic.
A complete, professional pre-approval letter for your borrower — ready to add your lender letterhead and send.
Write a mortgage pre-approval letter for [Borrower Name] for a [loan type, e.g., conventional] loan up to $[amount] with [X]% down. Include standard conditions language (subject to appraisal, title, income verification, no material change). Tone: professional and encouraging.
View full prompt →Tip: Always verify every number in the output matches your file before sending — errors in a pre-approval letter can create liability. Add your NMLS number and company letterhead; AI can't include those for you.
A thoughtful, persuasive response to a borrower who says they found a lower rate somewhere else — one that's helpful, not defensive, and keeps the relationship intact.
My borrower says they found a [X]% rate online, which is [X] lower than what I quoted. Write me a response explaining why the full picture matters — including APR vs. advertised rate, points, lender fees, reliability, and service quality. Keep it helpful and educational, not defensive. Under 200 words.
View full prompt →Tip: Add your specific competitive advantages in the prompt ("21-day close, no overlays, local underwriting") — generic responses won't win the borrower back. Save a version you like and reuse it; the core objection rarely changes.
A credibility-first cold outreach email to a real estate agent you'd like to work with — one that leads with value, not desperation.
Write a cold email to [Realtor Name] at [Brokerage]. I want to introduce myself as a preferred lender. My key advantages: [e.g., 21-day close guarantee, local underwriting, no lender overlays on FHA, proactive communication]. I've worked with [X] buyers in their market. Keep it short (under 150 words), lead with a specific benefit to them, and suggest a brief coffee or phone call.
View full prompt →Tip: Include anything you know about the agent ("specializes in first-time buyers," "top 10% in zip code") — personalized openers get far more replies than generic ones. Keep the ask small: coffee or a 15-minute call, not a partnership pitch on first contact.
A ready-to-post social media update on a mortgage topic — written in plain English with a call to action.
Write a [LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram] post about [topic, e.g., "what mortgage points are and when to buy them down"]. Audience: first-time homebuyers. Tone: helpful and conversational. End with a call to action. Under 200 words.
View full prompt →Tip: Ask for 5 posts on different topics in a single prompt to batch a week's worth of content at once. Specify the platform — LinkedIn posts can be longer and more professional than Instagram, which rewards brevity and hooks.
A professional, reassuring email that updates your borrower on exactly where their loan stands and what happens next.
Write a loan status update email to [Borrower Name]. Status: [e.g., conditionally approved]. Next step: [e.g., they need to provide a letter of explanation for a 2021 bank withdrawal]. Tone: warm and reassuring. Keep it under 150 words.
View full prompt →Tip: If the borrower is anxious, add "emphasize this is normal and the loan is on track" — the default tone may be too neutral for a worried first-time buyer. Include the specific next action needed from them, not just the loan status.
A warm, personalized thank-you message that makes your borrower feel remembered — and makes them far more likely to leave a 5-star review and send you referrals.
Write a thank-you note to [Borrower Name] who just closed on their [first home / refinance / investment property] at [address or city]. One personal detail from our journey: [e.g., they were nervous about the appraisal / it was a tight timeline / they're moving from out of state]. Ask them for a Google review and to refer friends. Keep it warm and genuine, under 150 words.
View full prompt →Tip: The personal detail is what makes this feel genuine — include something specific from your actual experience with the borrower, not a placeholder. Add your Google review link in the email so the ask is frictionless.
A borrower-friendly version of the underwriting condition list — written in plain English with clear instructions on what they need to do, without alarming them.
Translate these underwriting conditions into simple, encouraging instructions for my borrower. Make them sound manageable, not scary. For each condition, explain what it means and exactly what the borrower needs to provide: [Paste your condition list here]
View full prompt →Tip: Paste the exact condition language — paraphrasing can drop details that matter. Before sending, verify the AI hasn't softened or changed any specific requirements, especially dollar amounts and deadlines.
A 60–90 second video script on a mortgage topic — ready to record on your phone or read to camera, with a clear hook, explanation, and call to action.
Write a 60-second video script for [LinkedIn/Instagram/Facebook] about [topic, e.g., "what happens after a loan goes to underwriting"]. Start with a hook (question or surprising stat). Explain the topic in plain language. End with a call to action to DM me or comment with questions. Conversational tone, no jargon.
View full prompt →Tip: Read the script aloud before recording — AI writes for reading, not speaking. Edit any phrasing that feels unnatural, then record. Add "written for teleprompter" if you want shorter sentences and simpler vocabulary.
