What if Silicon Valley reimagined the mortgage process from the ground up, the right way?"
We asked ourselves this very question in late 2013 and realized mortgage was broken. It was hard to believe that an industry so massive and vitally important to the economy could continue to function with virtually no innovation.
We decided to fix it. LendingHome was born.
We brought together the best technology, operations, and data to build the next generation mortgage platform. This meant rethinking customer acquisition, user experience, credit analysis, algorithmic underwriting, operational efficiency, loan servicing, capital markets, financial automation, consumer brand, and more.
Fundamentally, we believe a technology-enabled marketplace that brings together borrowers and investors is the future of mortgage. By combining our platform with a world-class entrepreneurial team, we've made that future a reality.
Welcome to LendingHome.
