The mortgage industry needs to face the facts: today’s approach to lead generation is broken. For decades, mortgage lenders have relied on purchased lead lists to ferry in loan revenue. Unfortunately, purchased leads are expensive, and their lofty price tag does not guarantee they will convert to closed loans. Lenders can shell out lots of cash just to get a list of “tire kickers” who are not actually primed to buy a home.

Loan officers at Wells Fargo altered values in the bank’s database, so loans would qualify for so-called appraisal waivers… It feels like Ground Hog Day all over again. Who can forget the Wells Fargo banker who, stressed from opening fraudulent accounts in the name of hapless depositors, had begun guzzling hand sanitizer? That was in 2016. New revelations from the nation’s second-largest mortgage lender will make the U.S. taxpayer want to take a good long pull on the nearest bottle of hand wash.

While investors of mortgaged securities help dictate their interest rates, the Federal Reserve is behind the scenes influencing the overall lending environment.
