Every loan officer who has bought leads has done some version of this math at 11pm: “I spent $2,000 last month, closed one deal, and I’m not sure if that’s good or terrible.” If that’s you, and the lead source is Zillow, this piece is the spreadsheet you didn’t want to build. We’re going to run the honest cost-per-funded-loan math on Zillow mortgage leads in 2026, label what’s a vendor claim versus what’s verified, and be straight about the parts nobody publishes. ...

Every CRM roundup in this industry has the same problem: it’s written by a CRM company, and their product wins. We don’t sell a CRM, so this one can afford to be straight with you.
