AMPlify your long-term relationships with your clients by partnering with me and Academy Mortgage!

COMPREHENSIVEMARKETINGPLATFORM

Real estate experts say that only a dismal 17 percent of homeowners actually use their real estate agent again after a first transaction. What is the primary reason they do not rehire their agent? They simply cannot remember their agent’s name.

At Academy Mortgage, we understand that maintaining relationships with “closed” clients is a full-time job in itself. So with your need to always be on the go meeting the demands of your current clients, Academy and I offer you an industry-leading comprehensive marketing platform to help you stay top of mind with your clients long after the “For Sale” sign in the front yard has been removed.

It’s a team effort with mutual benefits. As a real estate agent and a mortgage loan originator, we team together to make a homebuyer’s first loan happen. But the first transaction is only the beginning of our long-term commitment to the homebuyer. Academy’s unique marketing platform will help ensure we are successful in meeting this commitment and in generating future opportunity for both of us.

The Academy Marketing Platform (AMP) includes: traditional mediums, like flyers and postcards; digital email campaigns; and mobile and social media solutions to deliver relevant, real-time, and personalized information.

Please consider these tools added value to your partnership with me and Academy. I look forward to working with you to build and nurture strong relationships with our clients to last for many years to come.

Academy has created five highly customized and dynamic videos that are sent at specific milestones throughout the loan process to educate the homebuyer on what is involved with each particular step. The response from our Partners and homebuyers to these videos has been overwhelmingly positive:

Academy’s Milestone Marketing Video Series

1. Documentation Video: The first video in the series details the initial steps of the loan process, starting with documentation needs.

2. Appraisal Video: The second video in the series communicates to the homebuyer that an appraisal has been ordered, along with details of what the home appraisal process entails.

3. Underwriting Video: The third video in the series notifies the homebuyer that the file has been submitted to an underwriter, along with details about the underwriting process.

4. Clear to Close Video: The fourth video in the series informs the homebuyer that the loan has cleared the underwriting phase and is in a “clear to close” status.

5. Congratulations Video: The fifth (and last) video in the series congratulates the homebuyer on the completion of the loan process at closing/funding.

MILESTONE MARKETING VIDEOS

CO-BRANDED CUSTOMER EMAILS

Keeping clients informed about current market conditions can be difficult and time-consuming for you as their real estate agent. Academy and I take the time and effort out of you having to hunt for this information by providing it for you, directly by email to your clients and branded with both of our contact information.

Rate Alerts

Through Academy, I have access to real-time trading data that affects mortgage rates. I am alerted by email and text message when market movement may affect your buyer’s rate. By immediately relaying this information to your buyers, I can protect them from unexpected changes in the interest rate environment that could cost them their home and cost you the transaction.

1st CHOICE News Briefs

Academy distributes a monthly customer newsletter, “1st CHOICE News Brief,” via email with: articles on hot topics currently impacting the mortgage industry and housing market, helpful tips for prospective homebuyers and current homeowners, and the latest news at Academy.

BI-ANNUAL MORTGAGE UPDATES

Twice a year, Academy conducts an analysis for each of our customers on how his or her mortgage is performing against current market conditions. I then communicate the results to my clients in an easy-to-understand summary. This valuable service is provided free of charge.

Mortgage Check-Up Alert

Your clients will never have to guess if they’re in the right loan again. Academy establishes a preset rate and payment savings target for each customer. If mortgage rates drop unexpectedly, I will notify your clients immediately with an action plan that’s right for them.

LISTING ALERTS

There are few things more frustrating to a real estate agent than closing a deal with a client only to see that client list his or her home for sale a few years later with another agent. Academy and I want to help prevent this from happening to you.

Our Listing Alerts do just that; alert you when your past clients have listed their home for sale. We monitor the Internet for listings as they appear. We look at search engines, “For Sale by Owner” (FSBO) sites, and other industry-specific sites for new listings with addresses that match someone in your database. I will then alert you when any of your past clients list their home for sale.

In FSBO situations, this alert may give you the opportunity to contact your clients and re-educate them on the benefits of using a real estate agent to sell their home. If your clients have already contracted with an agent, this alert may give you the chance to discover the reasons why they didn’t choose to use your services again and to see if they have a real estate agent to help them find a new home.

Our Partners are generating thousands of buyer inquiries with Academy’s powerful, custom-branded mobile solution for buyers to search for homes on the go—MobilityRE.

HEARSAY SOCIAL

14

The challenge that exists in using social media for business purposes is that it takes time—lots of it. Given the challenges that come with managing all of the forms of social media, Academy has simplified it for our Partners.

Academy offers a platform that allows our Partners to spend 15–30 minutes one day a week and post across all of their social media profiles at once. Through this platform, provided by Hearsay Social, you can do the following:

• Access Academy’s content library. We do 90% of the work for you by writing posts that set you apart as an expert and trusted advisor.

• Schedule posts throughout the week. We will even tell you the best day and time to post. • Link your social media profiles and post across all of them at the same time. Our platform supports Facebook,

LinkedIn, Twitter, and Google+ pages. • Generate your own custom posts and schedule them across all of your profiles with a few easy clicks.• Review your dashboard which pulls statistics and insights from all of your profiles into one place. • Utilize “Social Signals” that tell you when someone has a major life event, i.e., marriage, birth of a baby, job

change, etc. As you know, these events typically drive real estate transactions! • Receive tips, coaching, and campaign ideas throughout the year.

Academy has negotiated special terms of use with Hearsay Social. In addition, Academy has developed a Social Media Pocket Guide with tips and tricks on how to set up profiles and put social media into action.

Let’s get you social!

The ultimate goal of this marketing platform is to support you in deepening your relationships with your clients. Through the home buying process, your clients become our clients and we become a team—a team we hope these clients return to and refer their family and friends to for all of their housing and mortgage needs.

Equipped with these tools and backed by the support teams at Academy Mortgage, you and I will work seamlessly together to ensure each homebuyer feels as valued five years from now as they do today.
