What Bearberry is

Bearberry is a hosted mortgage CRM for loan officers, broker shops, and branches. It brings borrower and referral partner management together with loan pipeline tracking, forecasts, reports, automations, and follow-up tools. Rate watch follows closed loans and identifies past clients who may benefit from refinancing if rates fall below their current rate. Scenario Desk answers mortgage guideline questions and supplies sources for its answers. Leads from Zillow, Realtor.com, LendingTree, and Facebook can feed into the CRM; listed connection options also include Zapier, Make, n8n, and webhooks. A REST API and signed webhooks support record creation, updates, deletions, and stage changes. Bearberry describes security controls including TLS in transit, encrypted stored credentials, per-document keys wrapped by Google Cloud KMS, and workspace isolation. It says customer data is not used to train AI and AI does not make credit decisions. Starter is $49 per seat per month, with a 14-day trial; AI assists are excluded during the trial.
