How does a virtual assistant work for mortgage?
Most brokerages start with one dedicated assistant covering 3 to 5 loan officers, then add a second when monthly fundings pass a level the first cannot keep up with. Onboarding takes a week: we document your milestone names, your condition codes, your partner update format and the exact words the assistant may and may not say to a borrower. From then on the assistant opens the pipeline each morning, sends the day's requests before 10am, calls borrowers who have not uploaded, and ends the shift with a report listing every file touched. A trained backup covers leave, and a team lead reviews the pipeline notes weekly against your standard.
