Mortgage Broker Virtual Assistant

Scale Your Loan Volume Without the Admin Overload

Close more loans without living inside your inbox.

When your pipeline grows, admin work multiplies. A dedicated remote back-office specialist runs the conditions chase, keeps files submission-ready, and drives clear borrower updates so you protect your time and move loans to closing faster.

You hand off the work that creates delays:

  • Chase missing docs and conditions on a daily cadence
  • Keep every file submission-ready to reduce lender kickbacks
  • Coordinate with lenders, title, insurance, and agents
  • Maintain a referral-ready database and follow-up calendar

The real bottleneck is not lead flow. It is file flow.

Most brokers do not lose deals because they lack demand. They lose deals because files stall.

Your mortgage-trained admin prevents pipeline leakage by running follow-ups, organizing files, and surfacing issues early. You step in only when the file needs licensed judgment.

No jargon. No panic. Just clear the next steps.

"We got set up with 6 VA's in a separate room, and in less than 1 month, we have outsourced the majority of our SEO work. It took a huge load off my partner and my shoulders and allowed us to finally take some well deserved time off after 3 years of working on building our affiliate business. The key to outsourcing effectively is finding the right people and if you are unsure if this is for you, get on a call with the Aristo team, they are super helpful."

Workflow support by stage (the “how”)

This section explains how the work moves from lead to close. It focuses on process, rhythm, and momentum.

Lead to the application

  • Respond to new leads using your scripts
  • Book calls and reduce no-shows with confirmations
  • Send a simple document request and set expectations up front
  • Create borrower folders and label files consistently
  • Capture notes and stage changes so the handoff stays clean

Application to underwriting

  • Build a clean package that stays submission-ready
  • Catch missing items before the lender does
  • Maintain a conditions tracker and follow-up cadence
  • Flag risk fast (missing bank pages, outdated pay stubs, unclear deposits)
  • Escalate exceptions that need your judgment

Underwriting to clear to close

  • Manage the contract-to-close timeline so you hit every contingency date
  • Track conditions, owners, and deadlines without gaps
  • Coordinate with the lender, title, insurance, and agents
  • Send borrower updates that reduce inbound “checking in” messages
  • Confirm closing details and requirements early

Post-close and database growth

  • Trigger thank-you messages and review requests
  • Tag referral sources and loan details for future outreach
  • Schedule annual check-ins and refinance windows
  • Keep your database clean so referrals do not fall through the cracks

Quick win example: One broker shortened their “conditions chase” by assigning daily follow-up windows and running every file through a single submission-ready checklist.

Your tools, your workflow

We hire for your stack so the assistant fits into how you already work.

They can operate in common systems such as:

  • LOS: Encompass, Calyx Point, BytePro, LendingPad
  • CRM: Jungo, Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive

If your process needs cleanup, we help you standardize the basics so the role stays consistent.

Protecting your license and your borrowers

Mortgage files include sensitive personal and financial data. We help you implement a security-first workflow, so you stay compliant and reduce risk while the assistant works.

We set up a clean access model that includes:

  • least-privilege access by role
  • 2FA across email, CRM, and storage
  • password sharing via a password manager
  • one controlled folder system with naming rules
  • restricted downloading where possible
  • audit trails and a clear offboarding checklist
  • SOPs for uploads, status logs, and escalation rules

This approach protects borrowers and reduces mistakes because it removes guesswork.

Best fit for brokers who hit a ceiling

Hiring a Mortgage Broker Virtual Assistant fits best when you:

  • close 5+ loans per month and feel the admin load rising
  • lose momentum in underwriting because follow-ups slip
  • spend too much time chasing docs and updating systems
  • want faster turnarounds without hiring locally

You can start lean, then expand scope as volume grows.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if the assistant makes a mistake?

Mistakes by the assistant are prevented using SOPs, checklists, and escalation rules. The assistant runs predefined workflows and flags exceptions. Final review happens early. Control is reduced only after accuracy is consistently proven.

Can the assistant work my time zone and coverage hours?

Mortgage-trained assistants are hired based on required time zone overlap. Coverage includes early mornings, late afternoons, or full-shift alignment depending on broker needs.

How do I ensure the assistant does not sound generic with borrowers and agents?

Tone consistency is ensured through broker-provided templates and tone examples. Assistants are selected for strong written English and reliable follow-up habits. Communication avoids canned phrasing and delivers clear borrower and agent updates.

How fast will I feel the impact of a mortgage-trained assistant?

Brokers feel the impact once the assistant takes over follow-up cadence and file preparation. Daily condition chasing delivers the most significant gains. Relief begins within the first workflow execution.

What is the typical ROI of a mortgage-trained assistant?

ROI appears when brokers reclaim 10–15 hours per week. Time is reinvested into loan consults and relationship management. Many brokers close 1–2 additional loans monthly, covering assistant costs multiple times over.
