The need for both borrower and Realtor to be unified and up to date on the status of a mortgage loan or prequalification is more imperative than ever. With the ESL Mortgage Hub there is no second guessing regarding the status of a loan or waiting for a lender to send you a prequalification letter. The modern self-service functionality provides both borrower and Realtor more independence in the homebuying process.

How to Get Started

First, borrowers are given the option to give their Realtor access to their mortgage loan status within the ESL Mortgage Hub. You will be added to the ESL Mortgage Hub once your client’s application or prequalification request is complete. Next, you will be able to access your own Realtor portal. For clients who have given their Realtor access using the ESL Mortgage Hub, you will see their application or prequalification status. Features you’ll enjoy include:

  • Track the progress and status of your client’s mortgage applications through visible milestones within the system.
  • Generate prequalification letters at your leisure for your clients.
    • Print on demand, at your convenience, when you need it.
    • Your clients can also generate their own letters and email them directly to you or anyone else.
  • Use the mortgage calculator to determine monthly payment costs.
  • Adjust pricing and down payments for each new property.
  • Communicate in a quick and efficient way with your ESL Mortgage team and your clients through the messaging center.
  • View who is managing your clients loan each step of the way from origination to closing.

ESL will add your name and contact information to the ESL Mortgage Hub once a borrower has identified you as their Realtor and opted to give you access to their mortgage status. You will then receive an email from the ESL Mortgage Hub with instructions to activate your account.

You will only receive this email once. As soon as you have activated your account, you will receive all new updates within this portal for any future client applications, provided the client has opted in.

Application Assigned

When your clients submit an application, you will receive an email that a new application has been assigned to you. This email will include a link to direct you back to the ESL Mortgage Hub, where you can view your entire client pipeline.
