These costs are influenced by many factors, including target audience, lead quality, volume, and geographic location.

1. Online Advertising:

• Google Ads:
  • Cost Per Click (CPC): Can range from $2 to $10+ for mortgage-related keywords in competitive markets like Arizona.
  • Monthly Budget: Highly variable, from a few hundred dollars to thousands, depending on campaign scale and keyword competitiveness.
• Social Media Ads (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn):
  • Cost Per Click (CPC): Generally lower than Google Ads, ranging from $0.50 to $3 per click, but can fluctuate based on targeting and campaign objectives.
  • Monthly Budget: Similar to Google Ads, highly scalable from a few hundred to several thousand dollars per month.

2. Real Estate Agent Referrals:

• Referral Fees: Typically a percentage of the loan amount, ranging from 0.5% to 1% or more. This is paid to the referring agent upon successful loan closing.

Factors Affecting Costs:

• Competition: Higher competition in a specific area (like Arizona) can drive up advertising costs.
• Target Audience: Niche audiences or specific demographics may require more specialized (and potentially more expensive) targeting.
• Lead Quality: Higher-quality, pre-qualified leads generally come at a premium compared to broader, less qualified leads.
