Best Rate Referrals Launches Mortgage Advisor Portal

Aug 15, 2017
Best Rate Referrals has announced the launch of Mortgage Advisor (MortgageAdvisor.com)

Best Rate Referrals has announced the launch of Mortgage Advisor (MortgageAdvisor.com), a feature-rich Web site that will make it easier for consumers to navigate the mortgage financing process and connect with lenders. The new site will serve as a one-stop mortgage financing shop that matches consumers with lenders that best meet their financing needs. Mortgage Advisor will also offer a variety of informational resources and tools, including mortgage calculators, rate comparisons, expert advice, lender ratings and reviews.
 
“Best Rate Referrals understands today’s consumers aren’t driving around to brick-and-mortar lenders, they’re going online seeking information and efficiency with the largest purchase of their lives,” said Ray Bartreau, SVP of Mortgage Partnerships at Best Rate Referrals. “The landscape of the lending market continues to evolve, bringing convenience, customer experience and value to a process that can often be painful for borrowers. With Mortgage Advisor, we built a marketplace where borrowers can try to find their mortgage match whether the loan originates from a bank or a non-bank—it’s the right mortgage solution for their needs.”
 
Through Mortgage Advisor, consumers can access a variety of loan products and lenders as well as compare the best available market rates.
 
“In addition to a robust digital experience with tools and expert advice, borrowers who don’t want to exclusively find a mortgage online are welcome to call us and ask for help,” added Bartreau.
