The Secret: A Lean Team and Relentless Communication
Jennifer leads a team that closes 200–300+ loans per year.
“We work hard as a team. Communication is key—not just with clients, but within the team.”
Her emphasis on personal, informal communication creates an immediate bond with clients.
“I treat them like they’re my friends on the front end. That builds trust before we even speak.”
“I’ve had customers call me about auto financing or random questions—not even mortgage-related. That’s trust. That’s a lifetime customer.”
From Referrals to Digital Domination: The Role of Experience.com
Jennifer’s journey with Experience.com began in 2018—but it was the platform evolution and Search Ranking features over the last two years that transformed her digital presence:
- Automated Review Requests: Sent 30–60 minutes post-closing, when clients are most enthusiastic
- Google Profile Optimization: With help from Experience.com’s team, including hands-on support from Barrett
- Sponsored Zip Codes: Recently adopted for even more visibility
“Google used to frustrate me. Now I’m showing up at the top. That’s what Experience.com did for me.”
Turning Reviews Into Revenue: Real ROI, Real Results
Jennifer doesn’t just collect reviews—she uses them to convert leads and nurture loyalty:
“When they Google me, the first or second result is my Experience.com profile. Nearly 2,000 five-star reviews—that’s credibility upfront.”
That credibility shifts cold leads into pre-sold clients, driving an increase in inbound calls from people who’ve never met her—but trust her instantly.
“They say, ‘I found your reviews online.’ That used to be rare. Now it happens all the time.”
Sustaining the #1 Spot: Systems, Reviews, and Accountability
So how does Jennifer maintain the only 850 SRS in the entire country?
- Daily platform monitoring
- Immediate review replies
- Team accountability built into every transaction
“I tell my clients on the front end—if you’re not getting five-star service, you need to call me immediately.”
This proactive approach leads to continuous improvement, referrals, and long-term relationships.
Advice to Other Loan Officers: Set It Up Right, Then Show Up Right
“Experience.com runs itself—once you’ve done the work to set it up right.”
Jennifer emphasizes setup, consistency, and intentional client care:
- Ask for reviews every time
- Respond to feedback quickly
- Use automation—but never forget the personal touch
“If you don’t ask, they won’t tell you. Ask questions. Build trust. Be a resource, not a transaction.”
In Jennifer’s Words: Platform Value Beyond Metrics
“Experience.com made the online presence easy to build. What used to feel overwhelming is now manageable and powerful.”
