The Birth of a Product

2022 reintroduced a new, highly competitive market to mortgage.  Our clients discovered quickly that to be competitive, they needed to rethink the way they were engaging with today's consumer, who on average will visit three sites before selecting a lender.  Millennials and GenZ homebuyers collectively make up over 52% of potential borrowers, and insist on access to technology to help understand their loan options before turning to a professional they can trust. When they don't get it, they go elsewhere.

Out of this sentiment, RateSpan was born.  It offers consumers instant, personalized mortgage rates, fees and the total cost of available loan options via a  simple solution embedded on the mortgage company website.  No personal information is required to search - the goal is to keep borrowers on your site, provide them a modern and transparent experience, learn what they care about, and use that process to build a trusted relationship.  The longer they stay, the higher the probability they will apply for a loan with you; by using their data to tell the story, you will close more loans. 

 

While this runs counter to how most lenders operate, research overwhelmingly shows  this dramatically improves engagement and lowers abandonment rates.  This leads to happier clients, more loan applications and closed loans, and a better bottom line.

​

RateSpan is one of many innovative solutions and services we offer in our data-driven family of companies and services.  Our deep and successful experience helps mortgage companies fill the space between their operational capabilities and the realities they must deliver.
