Cracking the Referral Code: The LO's 2026 Playbook

2026 is poised to be a turning point for the mortgage industry.

With rates dropping, equity up, and the MBA projecting a double-digit jump in loan volume, opportunity and mini refi boom are in the air. But we all know refis alone won’t hit your quota.

And there are some major factors changing the lead gen playbook for lenders.

1️⃣ Major acquisitions are heating up the competition.
2️⃣ Trigger leads are being banned.
3️⃣ Affordability is still a hurdle.

To grow, you’ll need more than a nurtured database (and you know how we love to talk about nurturing your database!) But the truth is, you need net new business.

And that starts with strong agent partnerships.

Join Homebot CEO Ernie Graham, MBA’s VP & Deputy Chief Economist Joel Kan, and Real Estate Coach Dustin Brohm of the Massive Podcast as they unpack the real strategies top producers are using to grow agent relationships.

You’ll learn tactical strategies for how to:

✅ Build agent relationships that actually stick
✅ Break through the noise with co-branded value
✅ Use Homebot’s Partner Intel to connect, convert, and close—faster
