Role guide
AI agents for mortgage brokers and loan officers
Updated · by Rosh Perera
Loan files stall on paperwork and silence: a missing pay stub, a borrower who stopped answering, a realtor waiting for an update. An agent is good at the chasing and the status notes. It is not the place for rates, pre-approval decisions or anything that counts as advice. Keep it on drafts, keep borrower documents in your loan system, and approve every message.

New lead replies
Draft a fast first reply to each new inquiry that asks purchase or refinance, rough price range, timeline and the best time for a call, then offers your booking link. You approve before it sends.
Document checklists
From your own checklist per loan type, draft each borrower a personal list of what's still outstanding. Borrowers upload through your secure portal, never by email to the bot.
Condition chasing
Each morning, read your pipeline sheet and draft reminders for conditions still open, plus a one-line status note per file for you.
Realtor status updates
Twice a week, draft a short update for each referring agent on their client's file (stage and next step only, no financial details), for your OK.
Past-client check-ins
On loan anniversaries, draft a friendly check-in. No rate claims; you decide whether a refinance conversation makes sense.
Weekly file status updates
Prompt: "Every Thursday at 4:00 PM, for each active file, draft a 3-line update for the client: where the file is now, what happens next, and anything we need from them. Use only my notes. No rate or approval promises. Show me the drafts."
Renewal and term-end reminders
Prompt: "On the first of each month, list past clients whose term ends in the next [4 to 6] months. Draft a short note offering a review call. No rate quotes. Show me the drafts."
Copy-ready prompt
Every weekday at 8:00, read [pipeline sheet]. For each file with open conditions: 1. Draft a short reminder to the borrower listing ONLY the open items, with my secure upload link [link]. 2. Write one status line for me: file, stage, what's blocking, days since last contact. Rules: - Never mention rates, payments, approval odds or credit. - Never ask for documents by email; always point to the upload link. - Skip any file marked "on hold" or "do not contact". - Don't send. Post the reminders and my status list here for approval.
Works as a Grok Bot routine, a ChatGPT scheduled task or a Claude project instruction. Fill in the [brackets] first. It only writes drafts.

Setup steps
- Write your checklist for each loan type and your rule: no rates or approvals in writing from the agent.
- Keep a pipeline sheet with file, stage, open conditions and referring agent.
- Run the lead-reply prompt on five old inquiries and read the drafts as a borrower would.
- Turn on condition reminders in draft mode for one week.
- Add realtor updates once reminders need no edits.
Keep these human
- Rates, pricing, pre-approval and credit decisions come from a licensed loan officer, not the agent.
- Follow your lending rules on advertising, fair lending and record keeping; check what your compliance contact says about AI tools.
- Borrower documents and ID numbers stay in your loan system or secure portal, never in a chat prompt.
- Never paste passwords, card numbers or client ID numbers into a prompt or chat.
- Point clients to your secure upload for ID and statements. Never ask for them by plain email.
- Every update names the next step.
- Start in draft mode: the agent prepares, you approve, then loosen the leash one routine at a time.

FAQ
What can an AI agent do for a mortgage broker?
Draft lead replies, build personal document checklists, chase open conditions and draft status updates for referral partners. You approve each message and keep rates and decisions.
Can it quote mortgage rates?
It shouldn't. Rates change and are regulated. The prompts here tell the agent to write 'needs me' whenever a rate or approval comes up.
Where should borrower documents go?
Into your loan system or secure upload portal. The agent only tracks which items are still missing.
Is this the same as a loan origination system?
No. The agent sits on top of your sheet or system and drafts messages; your LOS stays the record.
