Percy.ai review
Percy.ai is a Mortgage Lead Generation product from Cordless Media. MortgageTechReview scores Percy.ai 2.5 out of 5.0, ranking Percy.ai #25 of the 34 products tracked in Mortgage Lead Generation Software, as of August 11, 2026. Scores on MortgageTechReview are weighted across five axes and are never paid for or influenced by a vendor relationship.
Percy.ai is Cordless Media's homeowner engagement product, built on the behavioral data business that used to trade as Buyside. It sends past clients a personalized equity dashboard and adds Signals, an intent feed from 3,300 plus real estate sites. It fits retail shops running purchase strategy through agents, because brokerages buy the same data on the other side. The limitation is plumbing. Nothing on the site names a CRM or an LOS, and Signals works from imports or CSV uploads. Alerts land outside the systems your officers already sit in.

Percy.ai wins 0 of 5 axes against Homebot, on the weight profile published for this category. Full head-to-head →
Where it wins
- Equity dashboards give officers a contact reason that is not a rate quote
- Signals draws intent from a stated 3,300 plus real estate sites, rare data ownership
- Brokerages buy the same data, which makes agent co-marketing talks concrete
- Sold into servicing too, so a serviced book works the equity signal at scale
Where it falls short
- No CRM or LOS is named anywhere; Signals loads contacts by import or CSV
- Headline 409% ROI and 11% conversion figures are vendor claims without methodology
- Signals is documented for brokerages and agents, not for reaching a loan officer
- No pricing at any level, so seat cost cannot be compared before a demo
Why it scores 2.5
Scored on the Lead Gen & Retention weight profile. The number shows where it sits in this category. It rests on evidence anyone can check, including the vendor's own record. The weights →
Production impact
40% of scoreThe mechanism is sound. A homeowner who opens an equity dashboard every month is one you hear from before the listing agent does, and a serviced book makes that list large. The proof is not there. The 409% average ROI and 11% conversion figures on the homepage are Cordless’s own, with no methodology and no independent study cited anywhere. A plausible mechanism carrying unaudited numbers is worth less than either suggests alone.
Functionality and depth
10% of scoreSignals is the differentiated piece. It watches shopping behavior across a stated 3,300 plus real estate sites, producing 1.5 billion signals a month, with claimed visibility 60 to 120 days ahead of a conventional lead. It is documented for brokerages and agents. On the mortgage side the page describes an equity dashboard and little else in concrete terms. The depth sits on the side of the business that is not yours.
Integrations and ecosystem
15% of scoreAcross the home, mortgage, about and Signals pages, not one CRM or LOS is named. The Signals page says contacts arrive by CRM import or CSV upload, which is a batch process rather than a live connection. Alerts land outside the systems your officers sit in all day. A lender expecting anything inside Encompass or a mortgage CRM should settle that on the first call.
Adoption and support
10% of scoreThe consumer half is easy. Homeowners get a dashboard and an email, not software to learn. The officer half decides whether this works, and the site never shows what the officer’s daily surface looks like. With contacts loaded by import, someone internal also owns the upload routine. Leadership and an advisory board of recognizable industry figures are named publicly, which is a modest signal rather than evidence of use.
Return on spend
25% of scoreSingle user licenses are referenced and never priced, so no comparison is possible without a sales call. The case rests entirely on database size. A lender with tens of thousands of past clients has plenty to work; a small shop has very little. Without a live connection, someone internal keeps running the import, and that labor never appears on the invoice.
On price. Nothing is published. The site references single user licenses without a figure and routes every path to a demo request. Treat it as quote only. Ask whether the meter runs on seats or on monitored homeowners, because those two shapes produce very different bills.
