CONCIERGE REPRESENTATIVES FOR MARKETING AND ONBOARDING WILL STEAMLINE COMMUNICATIONS As LoanStar grows so does the marketing and onboarding teams. The growing teams consist of specialists in their areas of expertise and responsibility. That’ s all good except that it becomes increasingly difficult for the loan stars they support to know who does what. To that end, the marketing and onboarding departments are moving to a “ concierge”format. This simply means that one person will be the concierge for each branch or region, or in the case of onboarding, Tonya Nelson is your “ go to”person for every new loan star to contact for any new-to-LoanStar needs.
MARKETING CONCIERGE REPRESENTATIVES BY BRANCH Each branch/region will have a specific concierge as a single point of contact for all marketing needs. That concierge will then deal with tasks behind the scenes and communicate with you from concept to completion. The marketing concierge representatives are as follows: MIKAYLA MORGAN • • •
Portland Main Bellevue Everett (with Andy Jaeger)
NICK LONG TONYA NELSON, Onboarding Concierge Tonya has been deeply involved in the Onboarding Committee since its formation and has an excellent understanding of how to keep all the specialists involved in onboarding a new loan star on pace. She’ s also a great communicator and has an awesome “ can-do”attitude. For all new loan stars coming onboard, Tonya will be your point person for all things onboarding!

BEST PRACTICES If you have a sales or marketing program that is producing results, let us know so we can share with other Loan Stars!
F E A T U R E
Dawn Robbins
LoanStar’ s Dawn Robbins ran with the best practices of LoanStar top producer Dion Mancia had for Open House marketing and made a huge impact on her business and solidified her new Realtor partner relationships.
First, we all should thank Dion Mancia for coming up with such a great idea! He started off this campaign in January and got the ball rolling and ever since we all have benefited from his paving the way and are getting out there to meet with buyers directly. In doing the open houses there are a few things I have learned along the way too, I guess some obvious and some “ ah-ha”moments and I'm happy to share this with everyone.
OPEN HOUSE BEST PRACTICES By Dawn Robbins, Senior Loan Officer at the Portland, Oregon branch
Reaching out to agents. Make them look good and make them money. Share how you will accomplish that and you are “ in!”Most agents have never heard of a lender helping or haven't seen anyone offering open house help in more than ten years. Even though inventory is low and homes are going quickly, it's not about just selling that house, it's about gaining possible listings from neighbors and gaining contacts through talking with potential buyers. Here are some tips: Share our successes with the opens we have done–I had one where we had four listing potentials from one neighborhood, we’ ve had others where we have had more than a dozen buyers sign up IPAD contest entry- This helps the agent and you capture buyer info. It’ s a big hit and has been successful for follow up. Flyers. A lot of agents send postcards but rarely do they walk the neighborhoods anymore. I don’ t know about you, most of my junk mail makes it as far as the recycle bin unless it has something catchy on it. Let them know we walk the neighborhood and how that will benefit them.
Flyer the neighborhood. Oddly enough, neighbors feel like they have to sneak in to see an open house, instead we just invite them to “ Come on over!”Get 100-200 flyers to the neighbors. Use the open house flyer and wrap it in the "You’ re Invited flyer". I've attached a copy of the flyer for your use. Friday afternoon and Saturday just before the open house is best. If you are too early they will forget about it before it happens. When you walk around to the neighbors, there are a couple things you can say to change it up. “ Good morning, My name is _____ and we want to personally invite you to the open house we are having on Saturday just (two blocks away).”Always give a general direction or you will get tied into the where is it conversation. “ If you know anyone you would like to have as new neighbors, please bring them along as well, we will be having coffee and cookies and we’ d love to meet all the neighbors.” Google map the location ahead of time and print it. You can even see the homes and count how many flyers you will need ahead of time. Weather map. I know it never rains down in Cali, but for those of you in the NW, look for breaks in the weather or you will look like a wet cat going up to the house. I use weather.com and their radar map. Plastic door knob hangers. When you can’ t catch a weather break, the last thing you want to do is leave a soggy flyer. Uline has great prices - $26 for 1000. Involve the agent. When an agent walks up to a home and says they are a real estate agent, it carries weight. Clients want to talk and get ideas. They typically get at least one good lead from the walk around. Stay within eye sight of your partner. Have your cell phones, they do one side of the street and you do the other. If you are on your own, make sure someone knows exactly where you are. Which houses to skip? Do not go in a fenced yard, skip that home. If the house says no soliciting, I still leave the flyer and just don’ t knock. If the house is scary, the agent doesn’ t want that listing anyway. It’ s better to be safe than to put yourself in danger. Comfortable shoes. Girls –you can’ t run in heels. Besides, I’ m pretty sure I passed a mountain goat last weekend as I went up and down a Cooper Mountain neighborhood! Make sure whatever shoes you wear have some traction or you will slip slide your way around the neighborhood. Essentials. Take cell phone, tissues, water bottle, umbrella, business cards, moving cards, and a pen. Use a basket to carry your flyers or a water proof tote bag.
AT THE OPEN HOUSE What to bring. At first I brought all the flyers and laid them all out. It’ s a bit of a paper blob. If you do take the 100% flyer and the loan process flyer, put them in nice packets with the open house flyer, moving card, paper clipped with your business card and the agents card. And put all this on display: Ipad Contest Flyers –get a stand for them, flyer in front and if you have a box for entries that would be perfect! Moving cards with stand Business cards Pens to fill out entries
Serve Coffee. I get a Starbucks Traveler. For $12.50, it includes the half and half, cups, sugar, creamer and best thing is I don’ t have to worry about it. I have heard of some agents that have networked with a local coffee barn. What a great way for advertisement for the coffee place and maybe a deal on the coffee! Call ahead and order to save time. See if agent will bring cookies. I keep a stash of Girl Scout cookies just in case. Make sure your agent has the following:
o Other properties for sale in the area. Buyers walk in and say I really wanted 4 bedrooms, etc. What a great resource to say, oh I have one right down the road and will be happy to show it to you later this afternoon…. There isn’ t time to search for it later so be prepared. o School information- what school district, any general info about the school. What’ s the high school mascot?
You need to bring the following: Personal Portfolio to give to visiting agents. Guess who is showing up with buyers? That’ s right, it’ s a huge opportunity to win more relationships with other buyer agents walking through the door. Regina had shared a tip that she creates a folder to give them right on the spot. Include a flyer, the moving cards, an intro, the iPad entry. (Get their card to follow up) Open House A-frame. If you use the moving a-frame, put it out by the agents sign. Check it periodically as it will blow over. Balloons and open house signs with date and time of open house. Make sure they are out a day ahead.
Some agents do a kids package – small toy, coloring books, I have one in PDF I can share if you like. It’ s another great way to make sure your smiling face makes it home with them. How to engage. Remember you are the best supporting actor to the agent. It’ s their show! They get to engage first. One of you should greet the client at the door. Leave the door open if you can or a big sign that says please come in (that you can see from the street) Be positive, fun and energetic. Buyers are enthusiastic about taking this first leap. Have fun with them. Ask questions! He who asks the most questions wins. (Thanks Matt Houston for that tip) It shows interest and that you care about helping them. Buyers come in waves. Welcome them in, maybe share a few details, give them a flyer, chit chat and give your agent time to talk to everyone. Know some details about your agent. You are not only selling you, you are selling your agent. If your agent wins the deal, you will too!
Make sure the agent knows all about you. The best sale is when your agent says how great you are to the buyer. Hand out moving cards. I have yet to have someone call from a moving card, but it’ s a great sale. Talk about the moving program. We do the heavy lifting, it’ s the back saver program, etc. Now you have established a little rapport and clients are more willing to sign up for your IPAD entry. Another solution for gaining buyer info is to use a program called Open House Manager on your IPAD. This allows you to email the client right away with the flyer. To get clients to sign up you say, the seller has asked that all visitors sign up and you’ ll get a chance to win and IPAD.
Follow up! Scan in all contacts and email them to your agent by next day. Monday - Send a personal note to your agent to share appreciation and how great it was to work with them. Reach out to any other agents you met at the open house. Call them and send a personal note. Email all contacts within one business day. This one is from Greg as a best practice and it helps solidify your availability and helps them remember your name. Thank them for coming to the open house and remind them of the moving program. Call them. Follow up on Wednesday if you can. Send a personal note to each contact and to your agent (Wednesday or Thursday) Add them to your database. A drip campaign specifically for buyers is in development, but until then, they need to see you and that you are there to help them. It’ s a bit like musical chairs, when the buyers Is ready, who is standing there to help them. Make sure it’ s you. Check in with them weekly depending on their responses from previous communications. Celia had a client come back after more than a month so it pays off to stay in contact!
Above all, have fun with the open houses and know that you make a difference just by being there! Your agents will love it and the time is well spent solidifying that agent relationship.

IN THE NEWS LoanStar Home Lending Press Clippings
CHRISMAN REPORT, Thursday, April 17, 2014
How does a new mortgage bank more than double in size in its first three months of existence? "For LoanStar Home Lending, born and raised in Portland, Oregon just last November, the recipe is quite simple: Take some of the longest tenured mortgage pros on the West Coast, blend with lots of capital from Texas, engage top tier correspondent investors, add a robust dose of marketing done for the originators, and top it off with an efficiency culture where originators originate, processors process, and marketing markets. ‘ Our vision of how LoanStar helps originators grow their business is by concentrating on originating loans and building relationships, and is attracting nearly every originator in all our markets,' says Mike Baldwin, President & CEO. Baldwin is building his fourth mortgage bank in the last 30 years and has a regional 'who's who' on the management team, including John Giagiari, SVP Production for California, who has already brought on eight originators to LoanStar and matched them with Intero Real Estate offices in Northern California. LoanStar is hiring aggressively to fill or start branches in the Puget Sound, Portland, Southern California, Boise and Phoenix area. Contact Kenn Bartley, SVP Business Development at kbartley@GoLoanStar.com for more information. CHRISMAN REPORT, Monday, April 21, 2014
On the jobs front, last week the commentary mentioned the explosive growth of LoanStar Home Lending but did not mention that SVP California Production John Giagiari is also aggressively looking for originators in Northern California. John said "I have seven more Intero Real Estate offices to place originators and need to fill those spots immediately!" John can be reached at Jgiagiari@GoLoanStar.com. LoanStar Home Lending CEO Mike Baldwin has assembled a proverbial all-star team out west to grow the company. LoanStar leaders include Les Bedford (lbedford@GoLoanStar.com) as the SVP Production for Washington. Les is the 2014 President of the Washington Mortgage Lenders Association and over the last 35 years has built and managed successful, high producing teams. Greg Haase (ghaase@GoLoanStar.com) is the SVP Production for Oregon and Idaho and is expanding to new digs in Vancouver, WA and opening a new branch in Boise in May. And in Southern California, Marcelo Curt (mcurt@GoLoanStar.com) recently joined LoanStar as that region's Sales Manager and is building teams throughout SoCal. "Contact any of these seasoned sales management gurus to find out why LoanStar is growing like wildfire on the West Coast!"
