Lead routing

# Buyer lead routing for real estate teams

Know where every buyer lead should go the moment it comes in, and give it a clear next step.

## Qualification informs. Assignment decides.

Two different jobs. QLFI handles the first one. Your team owns the second.

### Qualification

With the buyer's authorization, QLFI returns a full tri-merge mortgage credit report, estimated buying power and preliminary program matches.

### Assignment

Your team picks the agent and the next action. A preliminary result is one input. It never decides whether a buyer deserves service.

Route by result

## The right lead, the right person

Send qualified buyers to your top buyer agents. Send others where they'll actually get help: rentals, credit resources or long-term nurture.

- Qualified buyers to top buyer agents
- Not-yet-qualified buyers to rentals and leasing
- Credit-challenged buyers to credit resources
- Not-ready buyers to long-term nurture

How it works

## From inquiry to next step

- 01
  ### Lead comes in
  From a website, form, open house or a connected tool.

- 02
  ### Buyer authorizes
  The buyer agrees to a soft inquiry. It won't affect their score.

- 03
  ### Result returns
  Credit report, buying power and program matches on the lead.

- 04
  ### Team routes it
  Assign the agent and the next action using your own rules.

Decision guide

## What to do with each lead

An example guide your team can adapt. These are recommendations, not automatic product behavior.

| Buyer situation | What you can see | Suggested next step | Human check |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Ready to buy, matches programs | Buying power and program matches | Top buyer agent, plus lender intro if the buyer wants one | Confirm goals and timeline |
| Wants to buy, below their target | Estimate lower than the homes they asked about | Talk through options, or rentals if they prefer | Ask, don't assume |
| Credit needs work | Credit factors and alerts on the report | Credit resources, check back later | Let the buyer choose |
| Just browsing | Early-stage timeline | Long-term nurture | Set a follow-up date |
| No match or declined | No result | Treat like any new lead | Normal conversation |

## Rules that stay fair

### No guessing

Route on what the buyer told you and what they authorized, never on who you think they are.

### No dead ends

Every lead gets a next step, even if it's a check-in in 60 days.

### Buyer decides

If a buyer wants to keep looking or use their own lender, that's their call.

Stop handing every lead to whoever is free. Send each buyer to the person who can actually help them next.

## Common questions

### What can QLFI route?

Buyer leads and their qualification status. Your team uses the result, plus the buyer's goals, to decide who works the lead and what happens next.

### What stays a team decision?

Who gets which lead, when to hand off to a lender, and how long to nurture. QLFI gives you the information; your team sets the rules.

### What if there is no result?

If QLFI can't match a buyer, there is no charge for that run. Treat it like any new lead: talk to the buyer and decide the next step.

### What if the buyer doesn't authorize the check?

Declining is not a financial decision. Keep serving the buyer the way your team normally would.

### Which plans include team assignment?

Assigning leads to team members is part of the Team Starter, Growth and Scale plans. See pricing for current details.
