Mortgage brokers and loan officers · Reputation management

The reviews sit on a person's name, and the last one is old.

Reputation for a loan officer is a short list of recent reviews attached to an individual, on Google, Zillow and wherever your borrowers look. GullySales sets up the ask at the moment a file closes, handles replies within privacy limits, and keeps each originator's profiles current.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What reputation management means

Reputation management is watching what is said about your business across Google, social media and review sites, and responding to it before it changes a buyer's mind. GullySales monitors mentions, drafts responses to negative reviews and flags recurring complaints back to your team.

For mortgage brokers and loan officers

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “A review two years old reads as a career that stalled”

    Borrowers notice dates. Four reviews from one good year and nothing since says more than the star rating does.

  • “You cannot reply the way a restaurant does”

    A public answer confirming somebody was your borrower, or mentioning their file, creates a privacy problem. The reply has to be warm and say nothing.

  • “The closing table is the only moment that works”

    Relief peaks when the papers are signed. An ask two weeks later reaches a family unpacking boxes who have stopped thinking about the loan.

What we do

What we deliver for mortgage brokers and loan officers.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A review ask timed to closing

    A short request made at signing and repeated once, aimed at the platform that matters for that borrower's referral source.

    Result: Recent reviews keep arriving without anyone chasing.

  2. Reply wording approved for privacy

    Standing responses for praise, for a complaint about timing and for a review about a decline, written so they confirm nothing about a file.

    Result: Every review gets answered without creating a new problem.

  3. Each originator's profiles claimed and built

    Google, Zillow and the industry profiles your borrowers actually open, set up per person with current licence details and a photograph.

    Result: A search on the name lands somewhere you control.

  4. Monitoring across the sites borrowers check

    Regular checks of the review platforms and the local pages where lender complaints appear, with anything new flagged the same week.

    Result: A problem is spotted the same week rather than the next quarter.

  5. Written notes collected from agents

    Short comments from agents who send you business, kept for recruiting the next tier of the bench rather than posted publicly.

    Result: You have proof to show an agent who has never used you.

  6. A count by originator

    New reviews, replies sent and requests made for each loan officer, measured against the baseline recorded before work starts.

    Result: The quiet originator is visible before a year has passed.

How the result is measured

  • Average rating
  • Response time to reviews
  • Negative mentions resolved

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

What to do with each review

How to reply to a borrower's review, praise, delay, decline or a complaint about fees.

Praise after closing
Thank them in general terms and keep loan amounts, rates and addresses out of the reply. Ask whether they would add the loan type and the city, such as a first-time purchase or a refinance.
Complaint about a decline
Do not discuss the file in public. Reply that you cannot talk about a borrower's application, and invite them to call. Privately, explain the reason and the options, and note what you told them.
Complaint about delays to closing
Say that you are glad to review the timeline with them. Check the file log to see where the wait was, such as the appraisal, underwriting or the title. Do not blame the lender or the title company in public.
Complaint about fees or changed terms
Reply that you will go through the disclosures with them. Compliance rules on mortgage advertising and disclosure differ and change, so check with your own compliance contact before you quote any figure.
Review naming a loan officer or processor
Thank them without commenting on the person's work. Speak to that person privately. If the praise names a team member, ask them whether they are happy to be named.
Review that looks fake or from a competitor
Match the name against your pipeline and past clients. If nothing matches, report it through the platform's process and reply once, saying you cannot find the borrower.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the reputation management work runs

  1. 1

    Understand current perception

    We start by actually searching your business name and reviewing what a stranger would currently see.

  2. 2

    Audit existing mentions

    We catalogue reviews, mentions and search results, flagging anything negative or inaccurate.

  3. 3

    Plan responses

    A calm, factual response is prepared for anything that needs one, agreed with you before posting.

  4. 4

    Implement monitoring

    Ongoing checks are set up so new mentions are caught promptly rather than discovered by accident.

  5. 5

    Measure and report

    Sentiment and response times are reported, with your business name searched again to see what has moved.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • Hours that fit your day, agreed up front

    Which hours we overlap with yours is settled before any work starts, so you know when a reply is coming and when it is not.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Someone has posted about being declined. What can we say?
Very little in public, and that is the point. Confirming a person's file in a reply creates a privacy problem, so the response thanks them, describes your general process and offers a direct line. Your compliance officer should approve the standing wording.
Which review sites matter for a loan officer?
Google first, because it appears when a borrower searches the name. Zillow matters where your purchase business comes from agents. Two kept current beats five left half-built.
Which sites should a mortgage broker watch?
Start with Google, since people search your name. Then Zillow lender reviews, Facebook and Yelp if you have an entry, and the Better Business Bureau. Set an alert for your company name and your own name, and reply to each place a borrower may look.
Is it fine to ask for a review from a borrower whose loan did not close?
Do not ask. Ask people whose loan closed and who were happy with the service. Never offer a gift for a review, and check with your compliance contact on how your rules treat testimonials. Reply with care to unhappy borrowers instead.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
