Buyers you meet at an open house or a first-time buyer seminar might be a year away from applying. Real estate agents decide who to recommend based on who stays in touch and closes on time. The loan officers who grow keep both kinds of relationships warm without letting the details slip.
Short answer
A loan officer's business runs on referral partners and borrowers who may not be ready for months. Genify keeps agents, past clients, and prospects organized with notes on their timing and plans, so you follow up when it matters and stay top of mind with the agents who send you buyers.
Scan cards or record a voice note at open houses, seminars, and community events, with their timeline and what they are hoping to buy.
Use a connection type for referral partners, note each agent's market and style, and schedule regular check-ins.
Set dated reminders tied to what people told you, such as a lease ending or a move after the school year.
Remember past borrowers with notes and reminders, so you are the first call when they refinance or refer a friend.
In practice
Fifteen people attend your Saturday seminar. You note each person's timeline and main worry, such as a down payment or a credit question, and your Monday follow-ups answer the question each person actually asked.
At an open house in January, a couple says their lease ends in June. A reminder in April brings them back with your note, and you reach out before they start touring seriously.
Your notes show an agent partner values quick, clear updates. On the next shared deal you send a short status every Friday, and they recommend you to their next buyer.
