Optimal Blue announced it has acquired LoanSifter Inc. As a result of the acquisition, LoanSifter’s operations, employees and customer relationships will immediately become a fully integrated part of Optimal Blue. The new company will have more than 1,500 customers, 200 employees and three offices nationwide with headquarters in Plano, Texas.  Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. Founded in 2004, LoanSifter provides content and technology that is used daily by tens of thousands of mortgage professionals to search loan products and guidelines from more than 185 investors. LoanSifter offers a diverse suite of services to mortgage bankers, credit unions, community banks and brokers, including a managed-content pricing engine, point-of-sale solutions, marketing and automated quoting. “Optimal Blue and LoanSifter are leaders in this industry," Larry Huff and Ivan Darius, co-CEOs of Optimal Blue said.
