Why Mortgage Brokers Are Adopting AI
High Enquiry Volumes
Leads from comparison sites, estate agents, website, and introducers - all expecting rapid response.
Instant Response Expected
Modern consumers expect immediate engagement. A 9pm enquiry can't wait until tomorrow morning.
Remortgage Retention
Systematically contacting clients before deal expiry requires time advisors rarely have.
Admin Consuming Advice Time
Fact-finding, qualification, diary management - hours lost that could be spent with clients.
What AI Can Do for Mortgage Brokers

"Clients Think She's a Real Person"
Matt Coulson, Heron Financial
"We're often seeing examples of a client making an enquiry at 10pm at night, with Lily then making that first contact shortly afterwards, and our advisors subsequently coming into the office the next morning with an appointment in their diary and a mini fact-find completed."
