Maxwell and Ardley Partner on Mortgage Lead Recapture

AI-powered mortgage point-of-sale platform Maxwell has partnered with Ardley, a provider of lead generation and portfolio recapture technology, to enhance how lenders and servicers identify and convert eligible borrowers into new loan opportunities. This collaboration, announced on a Monday, merges Ardley’s advanced customer and portfolio analytics and targeting capabilities with Maxwell’s existing point-of-sale platform. The integration aims to empower lenders to pinpoint borrowers who may qualify for refinancing, home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), or new purchase loans, and subsequently guide these prospects through the entire loan application and closing process.

Ardley, which launched its platform in 2021, specializes in analyzing extensive borrower files. It cross-references this data with both public and private property information to match borrowers with specific lender loan programs, considering factors like pricing and qualification criteria. Through this new partnership, Maxwell’s clientele will gain access to Ardley’s technology. This will enable them to identify potential borrowers and automatically initiate nurturing campaigns to convert these leads into active loan opportunities. Maxwell highlighted its platform's strong performance metrics, including an application submission rate exceeding 88%, an average clear-to-close time of under 18 days, and the potential to boost loan officer productivity by up to 20%.

John Paasonen, co-founder and CEO of Maxwell, stated that artificial intelligence presents a significant opportunity for the mortgage industry to redefine its capabilities and explore new avenues for growth. He emphasized that the partnership is specifically designed to assist loan officers in generating increased volume from their current customer base. Nathan Den Herder, founder and CEO of Ardley, echoed this sentiment, noting a shared commitment between the two companies to leverage technology for lender growth. Den Herder expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, stating that both Ardley and Maxwell are dedicated to discovering innovative methods to accelerate client growth. He added that they are eager to collaborate with Maxwell to help their mutual clients utilize technology effectively, enabling them to surpass competitors regardless of prevailing market conditions. The integrated solution is expected to provide lenders with a more robust toolset for proactive engagement and conversion within their existing customer portfolios.
