The text you get

Accepted offer — financing condition: next Friday. Referred by his real estate agent (Laval). No rate quoted. Callback requested as soon as possible.

For the requests you receive

An accepted offer, a condition running

The buyer calls with a financing condition deadline. She records the date as read and the real estate agent's name, and the call becomes an immediate alert rather than a later appointment. She quotes no rate.

A renewal coming up

« My bank sent me an offer. » She records the current lender, the maturity date and whether an offer has already arrived. She does not say whether to accept it.

A real estate agent referring a client

She records the agent's name, their brokerage, the client referred and the date of the offer, and alerts you. She says nothing about any referral fee.

Other requests you can delegate

A refinance or debt consolidation

She records the goal in the caller's own words and the current lender, then books a call with you. She takes no view on whether refinancing makes sense.

A self-employed borrower or a newcomer

She records the type of request and the best time to speak with you. She does not judge eligibility and asks for no income or documents over the phone.

A lender, a notary or an appraiser

She records the file, the reason and the deadline, and leaves a priority message. She does not confirm a file's status without verified identity.

The financing condition captured, no rate quoted

The broker gets the alert on leaving the meeting: an accepted offer, the condition deadline, the referring agent, texting allowed, and a note that no rate was quoted and no financial data was asked for.

Read the full conversation

Saturday, 4 p.m. The broker is in a meeting. A buyer whose offer has just been accepted calls, referred by his real estate agent.

ReceptionistHello, let me first take your name and a number to reach you.

CallerMy offer was just accepted. What's your best rate?

ReceptionistI cannot quote rates over the phone: the broker gives you the exact options on your call. What is the financing condition deadline written in your offer?

CallerNext Friday. My agent, at a brokerage in Laval, gave me your number.

ReceptionistI am recording the date and your agent's name. The broker is getting an alert now and will call you back as soon as possible. May I text you the callback time, with no financial information?

What she does for your mortgage brokerage

What she handles while you are with a client or a lender, and what she keeps out of the call: rates and the financial situation.

When an offer has just been accepted

  • She records the financing condition deadline as written in the offer to purchase.

    The date stays the one the buyer reads out, with no counting.

  • She records the real estate agent’s name and brokerage when the agent refers the buyer.

    The referral stays attached to the lead.

  • An accepted offer with a condition becomes an immediate alert rather than a later appointment.

    That is the preset’s rule for a condition that is running.

Renewals and refinancing

  • For a renewal, she records the current lender, the maturity date and whether an offer has arrived.

    She does not say whether to accept the bank’s offer.

  • For a refinance, she records the goal in the caller’s own words and the current lender.

    She takes no view on whether refinancing makes sense.

  • She books the discovery call, the renewal or the refinance into your windows.

    The confirmation and reminder go out with no financial data.

What she keeps out of the call

  • Asked for a rate, she answers that you will give the exact options on your call.

    No rate is quoted, even a rough one.

  • She limits what she collects to the type of request and the dates, with no income, employment or Social Insurance Number.

    Assessing the financial situation happens with you, through your secure channel.

  • Asked how you are paid, she notes the question for your callback.

    You explain how you are paid yourself.

Partners and files in progress

  • She leaves a priority message when a lender, a notary or an appraiser calls.

    File, reason and deadline are recorded, without confirming the file’s status.

  • She verifies a client’s identity before discussing a file in progress.

    A client with a file in progress goes to the assistant under your rule.

  • She texts the callback time to a caller who agrees to it.

    The text contains no financial information.

    Add-onWith Brokerage and teams: pending assignments and their owner. Without the option, the call follows your transfer rule.

What happens to the request

  1. You write your instructions once

    Who receives new leads, your team's rotation rule, what triggers an alert, your callback windows and the secure channel where your clients send their documents. You change it all from the app.

  2. The type, the dates, the referral

    Name and number first. Then purchase, pre-approval, renewal or refinance; the condition deadline or maturity date, as read out; the current lender; who referred the caller. No rate, no financial data.

  3. An alert, or a booked call

    An accepted offer with a condition becomes an immediate alert. Pre-approvals, renewals and refinances are booked into your windows, with confirmation and reminder. The maturity dates captured feed your renewal follow-up.

Ask your receptionist, too

This is included in your base plan. She answers using the calls, requests and business information you are allowed to access.

Talk to your receptionist

A question you can ask

Which accepted offers have a financing condition coming due?

She retrieves the deadline given and the referring real estate agent. She quotes no rate.

What else you can hand to her

Beyond the base plan. Each one is added on purpose, separately from the base. None is switched on unless you choose it.

Brokerage and teams

For a team: a new lead goes to the available broker under your rotation and must be accepted, a renewal goes to the assigned broker, and each step is tracked by owner through to the outcome.

Lead capture and sales follow-up

Where each lead came from, a real estate agent or a campaign, stays linked to its outcome, without counting the same file twice.

Customer email inbox

Written questions and email follow-up join the file; replies go out as drafts you approve, and no financial data is asked for.

When your customers prefer to write

You can add a channel so she can continue the conversation with your customers. Any action she takes follows the same rules and the options you have chosen.

The transactional messages provided by your base plan and your own questions to the receptionist remain included.

  • The authorisation sits on your HubSpot account, with scoped read and write access. Zenvox finds the contact, creates the deal for a new lead and updates it as the request moves along; no financial data is written to it.

The first callback, and no rate

Since May 1, 2020, mortgage brokerage in Quebec has been overseen by the AMF, while the OACIQ kept real estate brokerage (Québec.ca). A mortgage broker's calls often start with a property deal: an accepted offer, a financing condition running, a real estate agent referring a client. Others come with a renewal letter from the bank.

Your receptionist answers while you are in a meeting or on the phone with a lender. She tells a purchase from a pre-approval, a renewal or a refinance, records the financing condition deadline or the mortgage maturity date as the caller reads them, the current lender and the referring real estate agent, and alerts you when a condition or maturity date is close.

She quotes no rate, even a rough one, implies no approval and does not describe how you are paid: you explain that yourself. She asks for no income, employment, Social Insurance Number, balance or down payment. In Ontario, the regulator (FSRA) warned the public about an unlicensed company that was collecting consumers' employment, income and Social Insurance Numbers.

Mortgage brokers — your questions

Can she give a rate to a buyer in a hurry?

No, not even a rough one. Rates move and depend on the file: she says so plainly, records the condition deadline and alerts you. You give the exact options.

Why does she not ask for the down payment or income?

Because assessing the financial situation is your job, and because in Ontario the regulator (FSRA) warned the public about an unlicensed company that was collecting consumers' employment, income and Social Insurance Numbers. Your receptionist records the type of request and the dates; the rest goes through your secure channel.

What does she say when asked how you are paid?

That she cannot answer for you: you explain how you are paid yourself. She notes the question for your callback.

What about renewals?

She records the current lender, the maturity date and whether a renewal offer has already arrived, then books a call with you. She does not say whether to accept the bank's offer.

How does she handle a real estate agent referring a client?

She records the agent's name, their brokerage, the client and the date of the offer, flags the referral and alerts you. She says nothing about any referral fee.

My team has several brokers. Who gets the call?

Under your rule: a new lead to the available broker, a renewal to the assigned broker, a file in progress to the assistant. With the Brokerage and teams option, the assignment is accepted by the broker and tracked to the outcome.

Do her texts contain financial information?

No. She texts only the callback time or an appointment confirmation, and only if the caller agrees. Documents go through the secure channel you name.
