Testimonial
We haves been buying Internet leads since 1998. In the 4th quarter of 2007, leads from Bills.com returned greater than 10x cost. On top of good performance, they have provided excellent customer service and flexibility that is rare among lead providers. I value the ongoing relationship we’ve maintained since August of 2006

Welcome

The current events in the financial markets are hard to fathom; we are witnesses to what may be the most extreme overhaul of our financial system in our history – yes, it’s that big. I won’t waste your time commenting on the events as they are beyond our control. Instead, let’s spend our time looking ahead to what is in store for the mortgage originations industry. While much will certainly change, one critical element remains the same – people always need money to buy and own their homes. And despite what happens in the real estate or capital markets, that fact is enough for each of us to think not about the current financial crisis, but about what our business will look like in six months, one year, two years and beyond – and prepare for that. It is our goal to be here to serve the needs of our lenders, brokers and banks, for many more years. if you have any ideas on how we can better serve you, please let us know.

For more information on purchasing reverse mortgage leads contact a Bills.com sales rep at sales@bills.com or 650.393.6308.


The Opportunity Finder

Bills.com has added another tool to help our clients fund more loans. The OPF (as it is affectionately known) identifies lead profiles that are not getting fully matched within our Lender Network. This helps us tailor a filter that will generate leads with less competition and potentially a greater close rate for you. Please contact your AE to put this high-performance tool to work for you.
