💳 Credit Conversion Blueprint: Close More Deals by Guiding Buyers to Approval
Close More Deals by Guiding Buyers from Denied to Approved — and Earning While You Do It
Darius Greene wasn’t new to the hustle. As a Chicago-based mortgage loan officer and licensed real estate agent, he’d seen the same story on repeat: excited homebuyers crushed by the cold slap of credit denial. His leads were pouring in, but his closings were lagging. Too many buyers weren’t credit-ready, and too many agents were leaving money on the table.
He knew something had to change.
That shift came when Darius decided to stop treating denied applications as dead ends—and instead started building a Credit Conversion System. What he created not only saved his pipeline but added six figures to his revenue in 12 months—all by guiding buyers to approval.
This is his story—and the detailed, step-by-step strategy he used to get there.
It Started With One Buyer
One afternoon, Darius met with a potential client named Natalie. She was a single mother, had a great job, and had been renting for over 10 years. She came to Darius through a real estate agent referral, excited to buy her first home.
But her score? A 582.
The bank said “no.” The agent moved on. But Darius saw potential.
Instead of turning her away, Darius sat down and said, “Let me show you what’s holding you back—and how we can fix it.”
He pulled up her credit report and walked her through it line by line.
Late Payments: Two credit cards and an auto loan, each with late payments.
High Utilization: She was using 85% of her available credit.
Medical Collections: Three accounts in collections she didn’t even know about.
That night, he decided he would never lose another buyer to a credit score again.
What Darius Did Differently
1. He Built a Credit Playbook for Every Buyer
He started offering free credit consultations as part of his process. Not a hard pitch. Not a sale. Just value.
He explained credit like a roadmap: “There are five major factors that control your score. If we work them in the right order, we can almost always get you to the finish line.”
The Breakdown He Shared:
35% Payment History: “Never miss a due date. Ever.”
30% Credit Utilization: “Get your cards under 30% usage. Under 10% is gold.”
15% Length of Credit: “Don’t close old accounts—even the ones with no balance.”
10% Credit Mix: “Credit cards + loans = balance. Lenders love variety.”
10% New Inquiries: “Stop applying for credit unless we discuss it first.”
He even gave clients a simple worksheet: a table with their open accounts, balances, limits, and what they needed to do next. Clients felt empowered, not judged.
2. He Partnered with REI Invest Capital for Credit Repair
Darius knew some clients needed more than just advice. So he joined the REI Invest Capital Partner Program and started referring clients to professional credit repair experts.

They offered:
Traditional credit repair (removing inaccurate or outdated information)
Credit sweeps for faster results
Rapid rescoring for clients already in the loan process
Best of all? Darius received $25 to $100 per client—whether they came back to him or not.
It was a win-win:
Clients got the help they needed
He built loyalty and trust
He added a recurring revenue stream to his business
3. He Created Credit Tip Content That Educated and Attracted
To build awareness, Darius began creating weekly “Credit Tip Tuesday” content:
Short Instagram reels explaining the difference between hard and soft inquiries
Facebook Lives on “How to Read Your Credit Report”
Downloadable PDFs titled “5 Steps to Boost Your Score in 30 Days”
He used AdCreative.ai to make his content look professional and scroll-stopping.

His favorites included:
A 15-second ad showing what a 620 score vs. a 740 score meant for mortgage interest
A before-and-after case study ad featuring one of his buyers who went from denied to closed in 8 weeks
Lead ads offering a free credit guide that connected to his CRM
4. He Automated the Nurture with Keap CRM
As his credit pipeline grew, Darius couldn’t keep up with every follow-up manually. So he implemented Keap.

He created automated sequences for:
Initial Intake: A lead form + a warm welcome email explaining how his system works
Credit Tips Email Series: Weekly tips that educated and encouraged progress
Check-In Texts: Every 2 weeks: “Hey [Name], just checking on your credit progress—need any help?”
Pre-Approval Reminder: “Looks like you’re almost there. Want me to rerun your numbers?”
His pipeline now ran itself—while he focused on closings and growth.
What Darius Taught His Buyers
“Credit is not just about buying a house. It’s about buying freedom.”
He shared practical tips with every client:
✅ Lowering Utilization Without Paying Everything Off:
Ask for credit limit increases on existing cards
Open a new card (if inquiries won’t hurt them) to spread out utilization
Pay mid-cycle—not just on due dates—to reduce reported balances
✅ Removing Collections:
Dispute invalid debts with the bureaus
Use pay-for-delete letters (carefully) with original creditors
If accounts are close to the 7-year mark, wait them out strategically
✅ Boosting Thin Credit Files:
Add clients as authorized users to aged, well-managed credit cards
Apply for a secured credit card with 90-day payment strategy
Use credit-builder loans from local banks or fintech apps
✅ Fixing Reporting Errors:
He taught clients to download reports from all 3 bureaus via AnnualCreditReport.com
Walked them through looking for errors in name spelling, addresses, duplicate accounts
Used dispute templates that were specific, not generic
Real Results, Real Revenue
By month six, Darius had:
Closed 11 deals from previously denied buyers
Earned $3,100 in referral commissions from REI Invest Capital
Built a lead list of over 1,200 credit-challenged buyers
He wasn’t just selling loans—he was changing lives.
Clients sent him thank-you texts. Agents started referring buyers just for the credit help. Even lenders began leaning on him for pre-approval prep.

“Most people don’t need to be denied. They need to be educated. The money is in the guidance—not the guesswork.”
