For Insurance Agents & Agencies

Every mortgage we close is a new policy on your books.

Every purchase borrower has to bind a new HO-3 or HO-6 before closing — so we route that policy need straight back to you, the referring agent, not a 1-800 number. Our 23-day predictable close tells you exactly when the binder is due, so there’s no Friday fire drill. In a P&C hard market where retention is bleeding, a reliable lender is a new-business pipeline. And we pay zero referral fees — anti-rebating-clean on your side, RESPA-clean on ours.

Why insurance agents partner with Fidelity

Six reasons a mortgage referral partner is the new-business pipeline a hard market took away.

Retention is getting harder and carriers are non-renewing books you spent years building. A fast-closing lender hands you a warm, deadline-driven policy at the exact moment a household has to buy coverage. Here’s what that does for your agency.

Every closed mortgage is a brand-new policy you write.

A purchase means a new HO-3 or HO-6 — and usually the auto bundle that follows a move. A lender that actually closes is a predictable stream of new business at the exact moment retention is getting harder.

We refer the insurance back to you — by law it has to be bound first.

No purchase closes without a bound policy and a mortgagee clause. So every purchase borrower becomes a warm, deadline-driven insurance lead handed to your agency — not routed to a captive or a 1-800 number.

A live portal kills the last-minute binder scramble.

Our 23-day predictable close plus a real-time status portal show exactly when the binder and mortgagee clause are needed. No Friday “we close Monday, send a binder now” fire drills.

Flaky lenders cost you sold policies.

When a mortgage falls through, your policy evaporates: no closing, no premium, hours wasted re-issuing. A real close rate protects the business you already earned and quoted.

Zero referral fees — clean on both compliance sides.

We pay nothing and ask nothing. That keeps you clear of state anti-rebating and anti-inducement statutes and keeps us clear of RESPA Section 8 — the kind of arrangement that survives a DOI exam or a CFPB look.

Life agents: a mortgage is the #1 trigger for term life.

A new mortgage is the cleanest reason a 35-year-old finally buys coverage. We hand you the borrower at the moment the need is obvious — and their income was just fully documented.

The reciprocity engine

One mortgage referral. A closed loan — and a new policy on your books.

This isn’t a one-way street where you feed a lender and get a thank-you note. It’s a two-way engine: you send us a borrower, we close the loan, and the insurance that closing requires flows right back to your agency. Here’s exactly how each piece feeds your book.

We send the policy back to you

Every purchase borrower has to bind an HO-3 or HO-6 before closing. We route that need to you — the referring agent — so the policy lands on your book, not a lead aggregator’s.

Warm lead · Referring agent

Bundle capture at the perfect moment

A move is the #1 trigger to re-shop auto. A fresh home policy is your opening to bundle, lock the household, and lift retention — right when the client is making decisions.

Auto bundle · Household lock

Live binder-timing portal

See the close date, the exact mortgagee clause language, and the day the binder is due. Bind once, correctly — no guessing, no re-issuing, no Friday scramble.

Binder due-date · Mortgagee clause

23-day predictable close

You’re not holding a binder open for 60–90 days or re-issuing because the loan slipped. A close date committed in writing means the policy effective date matches reality.

No re-issuing · Bind once

Warm life-insurance handoff

A new mortgage plus freshly documented income is the ideal term-life or mortgage-protection conversation. We hand you the borrower at the moment the need is obvious.

Term life · Mortgage protection

Refi & rate-drop loop-back

When we refinance your client down the road, the policy and escrow update flows back to you — a relationship touchpoint and a retention save you get credit for.

Escrow update · Touchpoint

Protected pipeline

A high close rate means the policies you quote actually bind. The premium you projected shows up — instead of evaporating when a flaky lender lets the deal die.

Close rate · Bound premium

No fees, both directions

Pure reciprocity — no money, no thing of value either way. Defensible under state anti-rebating law on your side and RESPA Section 8 on ours.

Anti-rebating · RESPA-clean

Have a client buying right now? Tell us the close date — we’ll show you exactly when the binder is due.

The Mortgage Hub

See exactly when the binder is due — before it’s a Friday fire drill.

Every Fidelity loan runs on the Mortgage Hub portal. With your client’s consent, you get read-only visibility into the close date, the conditions list, and the exact day the insurance binder and mortgagee clause are needed. No more “we close Monday, send a binder now” texts at 8 PM on a Friday.

  • Live binder-due-date & mortgagee clauseSee the exact day the binder is needed and the precise mortgagee clause language to put on it. Bind once, with the right wording, the first time.
  • 23-day close so you bind once, not three timesA predictable, committed close date means you’re not re-issuing a binder because the loan slipped 30, 60, then 90 days. Set the effective date once and move on.
  • Clear-to-close notificationsEmail or SMS the moment the loan hits clear-to-close — the trigger to bind. You deliver the binder on time without anyone chasing you for it.
  • Close date & loan amount, so the policy matchesYou see the exact loan amount and closing date, so dwelling coverage, the effective date, and the mortgagee clause line up with the file — not a guess you correct later.
  • Refi loop-back keeps you in the escrow updateWhen we refinance your client later, you see it in the portal — so the policy and escrow/mortgagee update flows back to you instead of getting handled by someone else.
How the partnership works

You send the borrower. We close the loan. The policy comes back to you.

No referral fees. No volume quotas. No exclusivity clauses. Just a lender that closes on schedule, tells you exactly when the binder is due, and routes every purchase borrower’s insurance need straight back to your agency.

What you get from us

  • Every purchase borrower’s policy need routed back to you — warm, deadline-driven, bound-ready
  • Binder-timing portal access (with client consent): close date, mortgagee clause language, exact day the binder is due
  • A 23-day predictable close so you bind once — not three times as the file slips
  • Co-branded homebuyer & homeowner-insurance collateral on your letterhead, designed and refreshed for you, free
  • Quarterly market & rate briefings you can re-share with your clients
  • Same-day written acknowledgement of every referral, both directions
  • The life-insurance handoff at closing — new mortgage + documented income, served to you

What we deliberately don’t do

  • Pay you a referral fee — RESPA Section 8 and state anti-rebating law both prohibit it
  • Steer your client to a captive, aggregator, or 1-800 number for insurance
  • Run marketing service agreements or desk rentals we can’t defend in a DOI exam
  • Add your client to a drip-marketing list behind your back
  • Cross-sell your client into insurance products of our own — that’s your book

Working with Robert Shamie was a dream. He and his team made the process of refinancing our mortgage so smooth and easy. And fast! He was an absolute professional and went above and beyond to make sure our loan went through.

We’ve been in real estate for many years, having financed and refinanced dozens and dozens of properties. Robert Shamie and Fidelity Residential are among the best we’ve ever worked with — careful attention to detail, quick response times, patience in answering the many questions.

I have worked with Robert and Lindsy on many purchases and refinances over the last 15 years, and I always come back because of the competitive rates, efficient service and no-nonsense approach to getting the deals done. This time, we were in a multi-asset 1031 exchange and needed to close 2 properties in a narrow time frame. Robert provided excellent advice on how to structure the 1st purchase so that the 2nd would be able to close without any issues, and both deals were able to close early.

Robert, Lindsy and the entire team at Fidelity Residential went above and beyond. My wife and I are both business owners, which can make the home buying process more difficult. This was not the case. Robert and Lindsy told us exactly what they needed and the process was simple and straightforward. We will be doing business only with Fidelity Residential moving forward.

This is my second loan with Robert and I was very pleased. My loan situation is somewhat ‘out of the box,’ but Robert was able to provide a few scenarios to work with. We chose what best fit our needs, then Robert and Lindsy got it done.
