Mortech, a Zillow Group business providing technology solutions for mortgage professionals, announced a new technology integration with FreeRateUpdate.com, a mortgage rate marketplace that showcases available mortgage offers from industry-leading lenders, according to a press release.
With this new integration, FreeRateUpdate.com will leverage Mortech’s product and pricing engine (PPE) to enable lenders advertising on their platform to share their products and rates in real time.
“This newest integration gives lenders the power to stay competitive in today’s fast-paced mortgage marketplace, with the ability to push their live mortgage offers out to multiple platforms like FreeRateUpdate.com,” Mortech General Manager Doug Foral said in the release. “We’re focused on building technology and products that ultimately help simplify the digital mortgage experience for homebuyers, while also making it easier for lenders to grow their business.”
This new integration, the company said, is a benefit to borrowers and lenders using the FreeRateUpdate.com platform. By utilizing Mortech’s online mortgage rate quoting system, FreeRateUpdate.com will help its advertising lenders extend their marketing reach, while giving borrowers access to more precise, real-time rates and products to choose from.
“Integrating with Mortech allows us to offer a better experience by providing live, accurate mortgage offers and empowering the consumer to complete more of the shopping process themselves without the extra time spent back-and-forth on the phone and email. This is a win-win for both the consumers and the lenders we work with,” said Ed Ferrara, chairman at FreeRateUpdate.com.
