Chicago (PRWEB) May 23, 2016
MortgageHippo, an end-to-end digital solution that simplifies the mortgage process to help potential homebuyers make smarter, more informed mortgage decisions, today announces its partnership with OpenHouse, a mobile and desktop home search platform that combines in-depth property, neighborhood and community information with data-driven real estate agent recommendations. Together, the partnership furthers both companies’ mission to bring simplicity and transparency to today's tech-savvy homebuyer.
MortgageHippo’s online tools guide prospective homebuyers through multiple steps in the mortgage process, from an interactive dashboard that helps users determine how much home they can afford and what type of loan options are best suited for them, to a co-borrower calculator that shows borrowers the financial impact of adding a potential co-borrower to their mortgage application. Through the partnership, MortgageHippo users will now be able to access OpenHouse’s deep well of neighborhood and property data to find their perfect home or be matched up with the best real estate agent for their specific needs.
OpenHouse unlocks hard-to-obtain industry data on agent performance to determine which agent would be the most qualified to help a consumer purchase or sell a home, based on criteria including location, price and home type. The recommendation is always objective and unbiased, making it superior to traditional word-of-mouth recommendations or agent advertisements.
“Millennial home buyers are entering the market in droves, and they are demanding a digital, information-driven experience to make the complicated process of buying a home easier and more transparent,” said Valentin Saportas, CEO of MortgageHippo. “By partnering with OpenHouse, MortgageHippo gives prospective homebuyers all the tools they need on one user-friendly, intuitive online platform.”
“OpenHouse's data-driven approach to home search and real estate agent connections matches seamlessly with MortgageHippo's transparent and innovative home loan solution. By partnering together, customers now have a truly one-stop solution to search for a home, find a top real estate agent, and source the best mortgage for their next home,” said Jason Nierman, VP of Business Development at OpenHouse.
