Rick won the cash by having a Mortgage XSite.  But before switching to XSites he had a Myers website for about six months before he realized he needed more to grow his business.  And the decision to switch to XSites has paid off in more ways than just his business.  With his winnings of $23,000, Rick plans to invest in his business and take his wife of 22 years on a second honeymoon.  Here's what he had to say about his XSite:

“Myers was okay, but when I tried the free XSite, it was without question far superior to what I had paid for with Myers.” Rick said.  But even with the faith he had in his decision to switch to Mortgage XSites, Rick’s belief that he won $23,000 was a little less instant.  “I didn’t believe it at first and I tried to figure out who could be pulling a trick on me.  So, I even called back to make sure it was really a la mode.”

The cash and disbelief aside, Rick has definitely seen an impact on his business, Real Equity Management, a division of West Horizon Financial:

"When I was using Myers before, I noticed a la mode's XSites because the designs were just so much more professional.  And when I really took a look, I was also pleased to see that the XSites were far easier to customize and work in than what I had been using."   Rick went on to say, "In today's economy, borrowers are really shopping around and credibility is crucial.  I have clients tell me all the time that they researched mortgage lenders online and have chosen me over my competitors because of my professional looking site." 

But XSites are more than great looking and easy to use.

"I get many comments from clients about how easy my XSite's online loan app is to fill out.  With the Myers loan app I used to have, I'd get complaints that it was too complicated and it took up a lot of my time to explain things to clients.  Not any more — the XSite saves me and my clients time and it just looks more professional."  And Rick isn’t just directing current client's to his site; he’s getting new prospects as a result of having a Mortgage XSite.  “Prospects are finding me online easily — the search engine tools in my XSite help with that.”

His XSite performed where others couldn’t
Rick found that like cash his XSites gave him flexibility, confidence in this tough market and the tools to get new buyers in the door.  With his XSite, he's portraying a professional image, accepting online loan apps, and attracting more business. Congratulations Rick!
