Why we're different.
Customers can apply for financing anywhere, anytime, using any device thanks to our secure, cloud-based software.
Our partners have full visibility of the application process in real-time with the convenience of central document storage, CRM functionality and autonomous financing. Information at your fingertips – anywhere, anytime.
With Ownest, you have access to over 125 lenders and 22,000 mortgage products at your fingertips. Our lenders include major banks and lenders, so there’s no need to shop around or hope that you’re getting a good rate at your preferred bank or mortgage broker.
When’s the last time your bank has called you to say that you’re paying too much for your loan, and there’s a better deal available? Probably never. Our software algorithms search aggregate data to each month and will automatically notify you if a better rate is available for you.
Have you been turned down for financing elsewhere or are you scared you may not get approved? We partner with over 125 lenders (and growing!) representing over 22,000 mortgage products.
Our software guides you through the application process and asks the relevant questions that lenders need to know – based on the 5 C’s of lending (collateral, credit, capacity, capital and character) to give them a bigger picture of your credit history.
Ownest’s software has grown to be a comprehensive end-to-end software that benefits affiliate and lender partners – as well as purchasers who require financing.
Our intuitive, user-friendly dashboard is easy to learn – and if you ever need assistance, or if you have questions, we have the industry-leading experts ready to help.
