Coordinate rate updates and lock follow-up
Rate updates usually slows down when pricing updates, borrower goals, lock deadlines, loan notes, and message history do not tell the same story, or when rate conditions change, a lock deadline approaches, or borrower asks about timing. Imagine keeps those sources in view, prepares a rate-context summary, lock reminder, and borrower message draft, and separates the ready work from the judgment calls. After review, the approved update goes back to the CRM and loan file, so borrowers get timely context while decisions stay with the loan officer.
The manual reality today
-
01
Rate updates can start with status hunting
pricing updates, borrower goals, lock deadlines, loan notes, and message history each hold part of the answer, so the team burns time piecing together what happened before they can respond.
-
02
The next rate updates touch arrives late
When rate conditions change, a lock deadline approaches, or borrower asks about timing, the next step can sit until someone checks the right queue, thread, portal, or spreadsheet.
-
03
The rate updates trail gets scattered
Approvals, notes, and updates end up in side channels, making it hard to tell what was sent, what changed, and who signed off.
How Imagine handles it
-
01
Watch the rate updates sources
Imagine watches pricing updates, borrower goals, lock deadlines, loan notes, and message history for new activity, stale items, and changes that affect the work.
-
02
Build the rate updates packet
Messages, records, dates, and prior decisions are grouped so the next step starts with the facts already attached.
-
03
Queue rate updates for review
Imagine drafts a rate-context summary, lock reminder, and borrower message draft using your rules, tone, and thresholds, then flags anything that needs judgment.
-
04
Record the rate updates decision
After review, approved actions are recorded in the CRM and loan file with the context, approver, and timestamp preserved.
