Quick Answer
Mortgage live transfer leads from CFG cost $80 to $250 per transfer in 2026. Caribbean nearshore fronters pre-qualify prospects on loan purpose (purchase, refi, cash-out), target loan amount, FICO self-disclosure, employment status, property type, and timeline (30-60-90 day intent). The warm-transferred call goes to your US-licensed loan officer who handles rate quoting, product matching, application, and RESPA disclosures. Fronters operate inside the TCPA and RESPA-aware fronter perimeter. The licensed close stays on your payroll.
Why mortgage uses the live transfer model
Mortgage is one of the highest-ticket verticals in consumer finance. A single closed loan generates lender or broker compensation of $2,000 to $8,000 plus, which justifies higher per-transfer pricing. The fronter-closer split fits because licensed loan officers ($75,000 to $150,000 plus base) cannot afford to dial cold lists, but every qualified live conversation has meaningful expected value.
Three operational realities:
- Purchase intent prices highest. Purchase prospects with a 30-day closing intent command the top of the band ($150 to $250 per transfer) because lender economics on purchase are stronger than refi.
- Refi prices lowest but volume is steady. Rate-driven refi transfers run at the bottom of the band ($80 to $120) but volume is steady when rate cycles support it.
- FICO self-disclosure is fronter-scriptable. Fronters ask "would you describe your credit as excellent, good, fair, or poor?" Captures verbal self-disclosure without triggering FCRA permissible-purpose requirements (no hard credit pull).
Mortgage qualification rubric
CFG fronters pre-qualify mortgage prospects on six gates: loan purpose, target loan amount, FICO self-disclosure, employment status, property type, and timeline. Calls that fail any gate do not bill.
- Loan purpose. Purchase, refinance, or cash-out refinance. Each has different lender economics and product fit.
- Target loan amount. Captured as a verbal range ($150K, $300K, $500K, $750K plus). Filters out prospects whose loan amount falls outside the lender's lending limits.
- FICO self-disclosure. Verbal self-statement of credit band: excellent (740 plus), good (670 to 739), fair (580 to 669), poor (under 580). No hard credit pull. No FCRA permissible-purpose triggering.
- Employment status. W-2 employee, self-employed (1099 or business owner), retired, or other. Determines documentation pathway downstream.
- Property type. Single-family home, condo, multi-unit (2 to 4 unit), or investment property. Determines product type and rate.
- Timeline. 30-day intent, 60-day intent, 90-day plus shopping. Drives lender prioritization downstream.
Compliance posture: TCPA, no loan officer advice, no rate quotes, no RESPA triggers
Mortgage is one of the most heavily regulated consumer-finance verticals. CFG fronters operate inside a layered compliance perimeter that covers TCPA outbound calling, FCRA credit-pull rules, and RESPA application-trigger rules. Five hard lines:
- No rate quoting. Fronters never state interest rates, APR, points, or fees. All rate discussion is licensed loan officer territory.
- No loan officer advice. Fronters do not recommend FHA vs conventional vs VA, do not advise on loan structure, and do not comment on whether the prospect should refi.
- No RESPA-triggering language. RESPA application trigger requires six pieces of information (name, income, SSN, property address, estimated value, loan amount). Fronters never collect SSN. Application disclosure delivery is licensed loan officer work.
- No FCRA hard credit pull. Fronters capture verbal FICO self-disclosure only. No hard or soft credit inquiry runs from the fronter side.
- TCPA-compliant outbound. State-by-state calling windows, federal and state DNC scrubs pre-dial, consent capture and recording on every call.
Buyers approve every script variant against their TCPA, FCRA, and RESPA compliance posture before any outbound dial. For the broader compliance read-out, see the nearshore fronter perimeter.
CFG mortgage pilot terms
Standard pilot is 30 days, 50 to 150 transfers per month at the agreed pricing band, exclusive transfers only, with a 7-day onboarding ramp. Close rates of 8 to 15 percent set the baseline economics. Buyers can scale to 300 plus transfers per month after a successful pilot when rate cycles or purchase demand support volume.
What CFG mortgage fronters do not do: quote interest rates, APR, or fees; recommend loan products (FHA, VA, conventional); collect SSN or trigger RESPA application; run hard or soft credit pulls; deliver disclosures; or give loan officer advice. The licensed US loan officer handles all rate discussion, product matching, application, and disclosures. Fronters pre-qualify and warm-transfer only. This is the TCPA + RESPA + FCRA-aware fronter perimeter.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do mortgage live transfer leads cost?
Mortgage live transfer leads cost $80 to $250 per transfer in 2026 from Caribbean nearshore fronters at CFG. Pricing inside the band is driven by loan purpose (refi at the lower end, purchase and cash-out at the upper end), FICO band (660 plus prospects price higher than mixed-FICO books), exclusivity (exclusive transfers price 30 to 60 percent above shared), and timeline (30-day intent prices higher than 90-day shoppers).
What is the mortgage qualification rubric?
CFG fronters pre-qualify mortgage prospects on six gates: loan purpose (purchase, refi, cash-out refi), loan amount target, FICO self-disclosure (the prospect's own statement of their credit band: excellent, good, fair, poor), employment status (W-2, self-employed, retired), property type (single-family, condo, multi-unit, investment), and timeline (30-day, 60-day, 90-day plus intent window). Calls that fail any gate do not bill.
Do CFG mortgage fronters quote rates or give loan officer advice?
No. CFG fronters capture loan purpose, target loan amount, FICO self-disclosure, and timeline but do not quote rates, give loan officer advice, suggest loan products (FHA, VA, conventional), or trigger any RESPA-regulated activity. The licensed US loan officer on the warm-transfer side handles rate quoting, product matching, application, and disclosure delivery. Fronters stay inside the TCPA and RESPA-aware fronter perimeter.
How does CFG stay RESPA-compliant?
RESPA (Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act) and the related TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID) rules apply once a loan officer takes a complete application (six pieces of information: name, income, SSN, property address, estimated value, and loan amount). CFG fronters never collect SSN and never deliver disclosures. The fronter captures rubric data and warm-transfers; the licensed loan officer takes the full application after the handoff. Buyers approve all script language against their RESPA compliance posture before any outbound dial.
How fast can a mortgage live transfer pilot go live?
Standard CFG mortgage live transfer pilot onboarding runs 7 business days. Day 1 to 2 covers script approval, rubric finalization, dialer configuration, and TCPA + RESPA language review. Day 3 to 4 covers fronter training on loan-purpose discovery (purchase vs refi vs cash-out), FICO self-disclosure capture, and timeline qualification. Day 5 to 6 is a soft launch with QA listening on every call. Day 7 plus the pilot runs at planned volume. Most pilots start at 50 to 150 transfers per month given the higher per-transfer price.
