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
I'm Dana, an automated assistant with Bayview Community Credit Union. You sent in a refinance inquiry on our website a moment ago, and I'm following up on it. If you'd rather not hear from us, just reply STOP. Otherwise, would you be open to a few quick questions?
✓ It directly explains the web-inquiry source and repeats the STOP opt-out without getting defensive.

oh right, I did fill that out. wait so am I talking to a real person or a bot?
Dana · #4
I'm an automated assistant, not a person. I can ask a few quick questions so a licensed member loan officer has your details when they reach out. To start, are you already a Bayview member, for example with a savings or checking account?
✓ It clearly states "I'm an automated assistant, not a person" and frames the questions around helping the loan officer.

ok thanks for being upfront. yes, I have checking and savings with you guys
Dana · #6
Thanks for confirming, Morgan. Your form said you're interested in a cash-out refinance. Is that still right, and if so, about how much cash are you hoping to take out?
✓ It uses the form data ("Your form said you're interested in a cash-out refinance") to confirm rather than re-ask, which saves the borrower effort.

yes, around $60k. want to redo the kitchen and pay off my car loan
Dana · #8
Got it, about $60k 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 left
Dana · #12
Got it. Do you know your current interest rate? An estimate is fine, and it's okay if you're not sure.
Simulated borrower · #13
6.5%
Dana · #14
Thanks, 6.5% noted. How would you describe your credit? Just your own estimate is fine, and this question doesn't involve a credit check: excellent (740+), good (680-739), fair (620-679), below 620, or not sure.
✓ It reassures the borrower that "this question doesn't involve a credit check" before asking for a self-estimate of credit, which reduces anxiety.

around 700 I think, so good
Dana · #16
Thanks. Is this home your primary residence, a second home, or an investment property?
Simulated borrower · #17
primary, I live there
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 just exploring for now? No rush either way.
Simulated borrower · #19
within 3 months probably

Thanks, Morgan. I've passed your details to a licensed member loan officer, who will call you at this number, usually within about 10 minutes. They'll have what you shared with me and may want to confirm a few details.
✓ The handoff message gives who, how, and when, and honestly notes the loan officer "may want to confirm a few details" instead of promising no repetition.
