Version 12.2
New tool - The "Simple" Mortgage Calculator
- An entry tool for newbies. Designed to look and feel super simple in order to let clients ease into the calculations with confidence.
- Please don’t be fooled by the word “simple”, this tool looks easy but supports complex reverse calculations that some calculators (cough: Expert) struggle with.
- This tool is one of a kind because it takes care of ALL corner cases (and there are a lot when doing reverse computations). For instance, you can calculate a target interest rate from a payment amount at an accelerated frequency with/without pre-payments. It’s that good.
- Also with that comes an incredibly good looking report that brokers can generate, share and track (see next)
New "Report Tracking"
- How awesome would it be to get notified when someone views a report you’ve worked so hard to create and share? Sure you can send an email and track the email opens but that is soon disappearing with iOS 15.
- When a client opens or downloads a report, the system automatically sends a push notification to the report owner. A great way for brokers to follow up the same day a client revisits a report.
- Also, every report has a QR Code now that can be scanned to download the agent’s personalized app. More downloads … More business.
New "Anticipated Future Rate Analysis"
- By simply entering a projected future renewal rate, a broker can estimate the savings that are beyond the end of the current term, better yet, a powerful slider to determine limits and thresholds.
- No more saying “I don’ have a crystal ball”, instead the broker can answer what-if questions like this:
- If rates were X or higher at renewal, your Refinance will still offer positive savings for another 60 months.
- The rate that you need to get at renewal is X or lower. You can see that it’s almost impossible for lenders to offer this.
- Even if you were to get a renewal rate of X, the savings of a refinance will be Y in month 60.
New "Client is Back Notification"
- Wouldn’t it be really useful if you get notified when a client comes back to your app after a longer period of inactivity? Well, now you get notified when a user returns to your app after 7 days of not using the app.
