Frequently Asked Questions

What LOS features matter most for mortgage brokers?
Brokers need wholesale submission workflows with direct connectivity to aggregators for rate shopping and loan submission. A built-in borrower portal eliminates the cost of a separate POS system. Compliance automation covering TRID, RESPA, and state regulations is essential. Pricing engine integration with Optimal Blue, Mortech, or lender-specific tools enables real-time rate locks.
How much should a mortgage broker expect to pay for an LOS?
Broker-focused LOS platforms range from $60 per user per month for Calyx Path Core to $300 per user per month for LendingPad or Zeitro. BytePro runs $200 to $600 per user per month for brokers who need deeper customization. Encompass at $500 to $1,500 per user per month is typically more than brokers need unless processing 200 or more loans per month across multiple states.
Can a mortgage broker use Encompass?
Yes, but most brokers will find Encompass more platform than they need at 5 to 25 times the cost of Calyx Path. Encompass is designed for the full mortgage ecosystem including secondary market execution, which brokers do not handle. It makes sense for high-volume broker shops processing over 200 loans per month where compliance depth justifies the premium.
