Endorsed Builder Partners
Welcome and “Thank you” for visiting our Endorsed Professional Partner site for builders. We have formed this partnership to create an increase in business volume for your office and ours without any staff additions by either of us. We will assist you in building and maintaining a strong brand presence in your market area.
The home building process is not an overnight happening and the builder is usually contacted only after the buyer has made the decision to build. The Endorsed Professional Partner Program is designed to get our bank involved early in a process that will generate warm calls, nurture the prospective buyer until they are ready to purchase and provide our Builder Partner with a ready, eager and well qualified pre-approved borrower.
The Endorsed Professional Partner Program is open only to those prominent builders who have demonstrated excellence in the field, have high ethical standards and are dedicated to forming a mutually beneficial long term relationship with us.
Membership in our program will entitle you to many benefits including the following:
Web Site Links
In addition to providing you the opportunity to be linked from our web site, your customer can click on your web site and instantly have direct access to our mortgage financing screen that will allow them to perform many functions including applying for a mortgage on line.
Top Quality Leads
Our bank conducts consistent marketing campaigns to attract customers that can rely on our low closing costs, experienced personnel and fast dependable service. We also promote Pre-Approval prior looking for a home. As you know, a pre-approved client reduces any worry about your closing ratio and eliminates surprises at closing. In addition, the fact we are a locally owned independent bank appeals to many prospects as well. By far, the majority of our loan applicants are referred to us by our existing customer base which allows us the first opportunity to meet with these captive leads. These factors result in a large number of customers looking to the First National Community Bank for mortgage financing. This unique situation allows us to inquire if they are currently working with a builder and, if not, we refer these pre-approved applicants to our Endorsed Professional Partners.
Business Continuity Program
Our Business Continuity Program is designed to never let the customer forget who assisted them with the sale or financing of their home. A “Thank You” card is sent out the month after closing. Special occasion cards are sent out twice a year and a personal letter is sent out on the anniversary of their mortgage closing to see if they have any concerns and to remind them of the services provided by the bank and our Endorsed Professional Partners. In addition, they have the opportunity to receive our weekly newsletter containing the latest market conditions and forecast along with an advice column. That’s a minimum of 55 “touches” a year.
Prospect Retention Program-Once a prospect has been pre-qualified or pre-approved, they become a “member” of our Prospect Retention Program. These prospects are monitored consistently, receive our weekly newsletter with a supportive encouraging letter and are contacted regularly until they decide to build a home. We basically nurture them for you until they are ready to build.
Pre-Approval for Your Buyer-The First National Community Bank will pre-approve your buyers providing you and your buyers peace of mind knowing that you will close the deal. In addition, not everyone who talks with you is ready to build. Why not refer these folks to us for pre-approval so they will be ready to build the home of their dreams when the time is right? These prospects can be enrolled in our Prospect Retention Program until that time. If your buyer has a home to sell, we can pre-approve them for a bridge loan in many cases which eliminates the need to wait for them to close on their present home.
Marketing Material- Our department will provide FREE financing option sheets for your properties which are attractive and provide significant detail about various loan programs as they apply to that specific property. Great for open houses. We also have several brochures available which provides important and persuasive information.
The more tools in your toolbox , the more successful you will be. By networking with a mortgage professional and introducing their services to your clients, you create another reason to market and remain lodged in your client’s mind because of the expanded benefit you provided.
A new home purchase is most likely one of the largest investments our customers will ever make. We want them to be as confident as possible with their choice. That is why we team up with proven professionals with the highest ethical standards who have demonstrated a desire to work in their clients’ best interest. If you feel you meet these standards, please contact us.
