Better Mortgage Expands Into Four States

Jan 31, 2019

Better Mortgage, a New York-headquartered digital lender, has expanded its services into Alaska, Kentucky, Oklahoma and West Virginia.

The addition of the four states now brings Better Mortgage’s territory base to 30 states and the District of Columbia. The company, which launched in 2016 and has originated more than $2 billion in home loans, plans to expand further this year.

"At Better, we saw an opportunity to become a different kind of mortgage company - one that makes homeownership so simple it feels magical," said Vishal Garg, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. "Better transforms the entire mortgage process, making it a more affordable, fast and easy home-buying experience. We're excited to kick-off 2019 with four additional states, bringing us closer to achieving our mission whether it's for a first-time homebuyer or someone looking to refinance their home."
