What happens if a borrower calls after hours because their rate lock is about to expire?

For Mortgage Brokers

This is exactly the kind of time-sensitive scenario Voksha is configured to flag as urgent rather than routing into standard scheduled booking. When a caller mentions a rate lock deadline, a closing date, or any language indicating time pressure (words like "expiring," "closing tomorrow," "about to lose my rate"), the qualification flow captures the specifics, loan number or borrower name if they have it, the deadline, and what they need, and flags the call as high priority rather than booking a routine next-available consultation slot days out. Depending on how your brokerage configures availability, this can trigger a warm transfer to an on-call LO or processor if someone is reachable, or it generates an immediate, clearly flagged notification (not just a queued lead) so whoever checks messages first thing the next morning sees it at the top, not buried in a batch of routine inquiries. Rate lock extensions and closing-date emergencies are genuinely time-critical in a way that a missed rate-shopping call isn't, a lock expiring can mean real cost to the borrower if it isn't addressed same-day or next business day, so brokerages handling this scenario typically set up an escalation path during onboarding: after-hours urgent flags go to a specific person's cell via text or a priority queue, rather than sitting in the same inbox as a general rate inquiry. This is worth configuring explicitly during setup if your brokerage handles enough active pipeline that lock expirations are a recurring scenario rather than a rare one.
