Why Mortgage Brokers Leave HoneyBook

✗Starter rose from $19 to $36/month on Feb 4, 2025 (+89%).
✗Payment processing fees add up
✗Limited geographic availability
✗Team member caps on lower tiers
✗Not suited for complex workflows
✗My least favorite thing is the price. As a solo entrepreneur, budget is tight and the barrier to entry is around $40 a m
Mortgage Brokers are leaving HoneyBook every week.

You're not the only one who's had enough.

Why This Matters for Mortgage Brokers

A loan starts with a conversation about what the borrower wants and what they can actually qualify for. I collect pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements and credit, calculate their debt-to-income ratio, and look for problems early, like a recent job change, self-employment income or a gap in credit, because surprises in underwriting kill deals. Then I shop the loan across lenders for the best combination of rate, fees and terms, and explain the trade-offs, points versus rate, fixed versus adjustable, in plain language. Once they're under contract on a house, the clock starts: I submit the file, order the appraisal, answer every condition the underwriter sends back, and keep the buyer's agent and the title company updated so we close on time. Rates move daily, so locking at the right moment matters. Compliance runs through everything: disclosures sent on time, licensing in every state I work in, and careful records. I'm paid at closing, either by the borrower or the lender, and the amount is disclosed up front.

Mortgage Brokers face unique challenges: Long sales cycles (30-90 days from lead to close). Commission splits and tracking across multiple lenders. Pipeline management with many leads at different stages. Compliance documentation requirements. On top of all that, HoneyBook charges $36/month ($432/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median mortgage broker earns $70,000/year. Software at $432/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Your Loan origination software is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.
