Lendgo leads: the borrower agreed to hear from up to five lenders

Lendgo is a consumer marketplace for HELOCs, refinances, purchases and VA loans. A borrower fills in Lendgo's form, sees the lenders matched to them, and agrees to be contacted by up to five. Lendgo is paid a lead fee by the lenders. Your lead is one of up to five calls the borrower is expecting.

How the Lendgo marketplace works

Lendgo offers borrowers home refinance, home purchase, veteran loans and HELOCs, and its HELOC form promises to “see top 5 lenders that will likely approve your loan.” Its terms are clear about the model: “Lendgo is NOT a lender or creditor.” It receives “a marketing lead generation fee by providers,” and that pay “may influence where the Site shows the offers and how often.” Its disclosures put it more simply: “Who pays our bills? The lender.”

Lendgo publishes nothing for lenders: no pricing, delivery options, filters or return policy. If you buy from Lendgo, get those terms from your Lendgo contact in writing.

Up to five lenders, and the borrower picks them

Before the borrower submits, Lendgo shows them “up to five of the following lenders that have been preselected by default to contact you with a quote,” and lets them change the selection. The consent they give covers those lenders, by phone and text, “including through the use of automated dialing technology, AI generated/prerecorded/artificial voice, SMS/MMS.”

So the borrower is expecting calls from up to five lenders, and Lendgo has told them each will come with a quote. HELOC borrowers usually know what they want the money for. The lender who reaches them first, while they’re still at the screen, has the best chance of being the one they apply with.

How to get each Lendgo lead called as soon as it reaches Callingly

Lendgo doesn’t publish how it delivers leads to lenders, so start by asking. Callingly takes leads by webhook, by email, or through your CRM:

  1. Ask Lendgo how it delivers your leads: posted to a URL, sent by email, or into a CRM.
  2. Posted to a URL: in Callingly, add a Webhook integration, pick the team, and give Lendgo its webhook URL. Callingly’s key is already part of the URL, and it accepts JSON. Callingly’s automatic lead extraction, on by default, finds the phone number in what Lendgo sends.
  3. By email: in Callingly, add an email integration and have Lendgo deliver to its @mail.callingly.com address. Send a few test emails, then tell Callingly support, and they set Callingly up to read Lendgo’s format within a few business hours.
  4. Into a CRM Callingly connects to: start the Callingly call from the CRM. Either way, send a test lead through and check the call goes out.

CRMs Callingly connects to directly include HubSpot and Salesforce, and many more through Zapier. Whichever route you use, the AI Agent calls each lead that arrives inside your team’s call hours as soon as it lands, and only between 8 AM and 9 PM in the lead’s time zone. For leads outside those hours, add an AI call to the sequence’s Outside Business Hours branch, or turn on its “Wait until next business hours” step so the call goes out at the next time that fits both your call hours and the lead’s window.

What happens when the AI Agent calls

Within your team’s call hours, each new lead gets a call from the AI Agent as soon as it reaches Callingly, plus texts in the same sequence if you want them. The AI Agent asks your qualifying questions, such as how much they want to borrow, what it’s for and roughly what the home is worth, and warm-transfers the live borrower to a loan officer who’s free. When nobody is, it offers a callback at a time the borrower picks. When the borrower doesn’t answer, the followup sequence keeps calling and texting on your schedule.

The same route works for LendingTree, Lead Planet and the rest of a mortgage team’s lead flow.

Lendgo lead questions

How many lenders get each Lendgo lead?

Up to five. Lendgo’s consent language asks the borrower to let “up to five” lenders contact them, chosen from the lenders matched to their request, and the borrower can change which ones before they submit.

How do lenders pay Lendgo?

Lendgo’s terms say it receives “a marketing lead generation fee by providers” and that “Lendgo is NOT a lender or creditor.” It doesn’t publish lender pricing, delivery options or a return policy, so get those from Lendgo in writing before you start.

Can the AI Agent call Lendgo borrowers?

Lendgo’s consent language covers calls from the lenders the borrower agreed to hear from, “including through the use of automated dialing technology, AI generated/prerecorded/artificial voice.” Check with Lendgo that the consent on your leads names your company, and call only the leads Lendgo delivered to you.
