Skeptical, wants cash out
Suspicious of who is texting and why. Opens with "how did you get my number?" Should be transferred once reassured.

Hi Morgan, this is Dana, an automated assistant with Bayview Community Credit Union. Thanks for reaching out about refinancing. Is now a good time for a few quick questions? You can reply STOP at any time to opt out.

who is this? how did you get my number?
Dana · #2
Fair question. I'm Dana, an automated assistant with Bayview Community Credit Union, and you submitted a refinance inquiry on our website a moment ago, so I'm following up on that. If you'd rather not continue, just reply STOP and we won't text you again.
Before we go further, are you already a Bayview member, for example with a savings or checking account with us?
✓ Directly explains the web inquiry as the source of the number and restates the STOP opt-out without getting defensive.

oh right, I did fill that out. so you're a bot, not a real person?
Dana · #4
Yes, I'm an automated assistant, not a person. I can gather a few basics so that a licensed loan officer, who is a real person, has them ready when they talk with you. There's no rush.
To start, are you already a Bayview member?
✓ Answers the bot question plainly ("Yes, I'm an automated assistant, not a person") and sets a no-pressure tone.
! Re-asks the membership question already asked in turn 2, which adds slight repetition.

Thanks, Morgan. Your form said you're interested in a cash-out refinance. Is that still the plan, and if so, roughly how much cash would you like to take out?
Simulated borrower · #7
yeah, around $60k. kitchen remodel and paying off my car loan
Dana · #8
Got it, about $60,000 for the kitchen and the car loan. What's your best guess at what your home is worth today? A ballpark is fine.
Simulated borrower · #9
probably around $400k
Dana · #10
Thanks. Roughly how much do you still owe on your mortgage?
Simulated borrower · #11
about $210k
Dana · #12
Got it. Do you know your current interest rate? An approximate number is fine.
Simulated borrower · #13
6.5%
Dana · #14
Thanks. Where would you guess your credit falls: 740 or higher, 680–739, 620–679, below 620, or not sure? This is only your own estimate, and answering it doesn't involve a credit check.
✓ Offers credit bands and reassures that the estimate "doesn't involve a credit check," which reduces anxiety.
Simulated borrower · #15
around 700, so 680-739
Dana · #16
Thank you. Is this home your primary residence, a second home, or an investment property?
Simulated borrower · #17
primary residence
Dana · #18
Last question: how soon would you like to move forward? As soon as possible, within 3 months, in 3 to 6 months, or are you just exploring for now?
Simulated borrower · #19
probably within 3 months

I passed your details to a licensed loan officer at Bayview, Morgan. They should call the number you're texting from, usually within about 10 minutes. They'll have everything you shared with me, but they may check a few details with you before going over your options.
✓ Gives a clear, honest next step (call to the texting number, usually within about 10 minutes during business hours) and avoids promising the borrower won't need to repeat anything.
