I recently bought a home and used the zillow marketplace to compare interest rates day-to-day so I could decide when to lock in the rate. That may not be it's intended purpose, but it worked so well. Thanks! **Aaron´s last blog post..Small Business Economic Bailout Plan

zillow is just getting too smart. but LOs are difficult to deal with and useually they can’t guarantee a rate until a property type is decided on

it is interesting…
LO’s bid their best rate which is what is being done now at lending tree, LeadBull, CoreLeads and other sites.
Until they see your credit score, # of debt accounts, how long you’ve had them, etc..they will still bait and switch…
anonymous sounds good but the others first comers will still make hay. Borrowers don’t want to have to log-in each hour and see 10 to 20 quotes..
With the others may only see 4 quotes.

You get what you pay for.
Might work for some new loan officers. But I suspect that a whole lot of lieing will be going on….. so the consumer will lose in the end.

WOW – seems like a hot topic!!! I like it as it’s new and an attempt to help out consumers – one more tool is always good. I’m not to sure how long it’s going to be a hit in the mortgage industry. It might end up being a lot of work for nothing…but only time will tell.

It’ll be interesting to see how well this new venture goes. It’s a little hard to give quotes based on information provided by consumers and not real credit facts.

Consumers love our Agent Evaluator product, which is similar to Zillow’s offering except that Zillow’s offering is for mortgage brokers and is free.

I have my doubts about this with the changing world of lending. The loan contingency has stepped up once again in a real estate transaction as the big item. Any savy seller and their agent is going to look hard at the loan before accepting an offer. If this then originates online, the first gut reacation is a red flag. Just like working with a good realtor, there are good and bad lenders…you don’t just choos via rates. And that is what wil happen. The star system from 1-5 with 5 being good does not stand taller than the actual rate. Money unfortunately talks in this culture.
