Let’s be real: most social media platforms aren’t built for deal-making—they’re built for scrolling. But LinkedIn? It’s where conversations turn into connections, and connections turn into closings. Especially in 2025, LinkedIn is one of the most underused (and underrated) lead gen tools for mortgage brokers who want to build referral networks, join industry conversations, and stay sharp on trends.
If you’re not using LinkedIn groups as part of your strategy, you’re missing out on a steady stream of referrals, partnerships, and pro-level insights.
Here are the top LinkedIn groups every mortgage broker should join this year:
1. Mortgage Professionals Networking Group
Members: 100,000+
This is the largest LinkedIn group dedicated to mortgage pros across the U.S. You’ll find:
- Lenders, brokers, processors, and underwriters
- Industry updates, rate discussions, and marketing tips
- Networking threads for referrals and job leads
Why join? It’s the digital version of a nationwide water cooler—jump in and contribute value to get visibility.
2. Mortgage Loan Originators Connect
Members: 35,000+

LinkedIn = Relationship ROI
When used right, LinkedIn becomes more than just a profile page. It becomes:
- A referral generator
- A content platform
- A learning hub
- A visibility engine
Pro Tip: Set aside 10–15 minutes a day to comment, answer questions, and DM new connections. You’ll see results faster than you think.
