Some brokers or buyers may have the luxury of being able to purchase leads from anywhere and everywhere. Others, especially those just getting started in the mortgage lead business, may need to limit themselves to only those leads that apply to their particular geographic area or location. For this reason, “local” mortgage leads may be the wisest investment.

If a broker or buyer knows that he or she cannot handle leads that come from other parts of the country (or state, for that matter), then the last thing he or she wants to do is have to go through the many leads received to determine which ones are considered local. The time spent doing this is time that could otherwise be spent calling clients whom they can serve.

Likewise, there may be clients who do not want to do business with anyone who is not located within a reasonable traveling distance from their current residence or business or from the residence or business pertinent to the mortgage process. And, although it is possible for any type of business to be conducted “online” in this modern technological world, there just might be a few people out there who would rather conduct business the old-fashioned way.

The broker or buyer who decides to accept only local mortgage leads may not necessarily be placing limitations on him or herself. It may be that because he or she is so convenient to clients in a specific location that the volume of business will be more than sufficient to ensure success for both parties.

This may especially apply in those areas that have a large rural demographic. Brokers or buyers who choose to take the risk and establish a business in a location that may not be close to a major metropolitan area (or a small metropolitan area, for that matter) may find that they receive a lot of “walk-in” business.

Even if a broker or buyer does not have a “physical” location in a less-prominent area, he or she may still choose to make their business accessible to people who live in a specific area. The broker or buyer’s willingness to meet a client “halfway” i.e., at a location suitable for both parties can accomplish this. The fact that a broker or buyer is willing to take this extra step will only serve to heighten their reputation, and in turn bring in more business.
