The Mortgage Returns concept was generated by requests from Loan
Officers looking for mortgage industry-specific contact management software.
While Act, Goldmine, and even Outlook do a sufficient job of tracking key dates
and maintaining contact information, Mortgage Returns goes several steps
beyond, incorporating customer account-specific details into the tracking
process. Using Mortgage Returns, Loan Officers know which clients to contact,
when, and why, based on
market conditions,
amortization schedules, and
calendar-based events.
