From browsing flights to comparing deals on a single pair of headphones, we no longer feel obligated to accept the first price or offer we come across. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You would think the standard would apply for <em>literally<\/em> the biggest, most important transaction of your life, wouldn&#8217;t you?<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in many circumstances, it&#8217;s rare that people actually shop and compare their mortgage options. In fact, more than three out of every four Americans will apply for a mortgage with just a single lender, taking the very first mortgage offer they receive. And all else being equal, shaving a fraction of a percent from your mortgage interest rate can save you tens of thousands of dollars on your home. It literally <em>pays<\/em> to shop around for your mortgage.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1733\" height=\"1155\" src=\"https:\/\/morty-content-production.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Stocksy_txp1b8fd6f0vEQ200_Medium_1302167.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Stocksy_txp1b8fd6f0vEQ200_Medium_1302167.jpg 1733w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Stocksy_txp1b8fd6f0vEQ200_Medium_1302167-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Stocksy_txp1b8fd6f0vEQ200_Medium_1302167-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Stocksy_txp1b8fd6f0vEQ200_Medium_1302167-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Stocksy_txp1b8fd6f0vEQ200_Medium_1302167-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1733px) 100vw, 1733px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So why aren\u2019t more homebuyers comparison shopping for a better deal? Because shopping around for a mortgage has, historically, been difficult and time-consuming.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Morty, we\u2019re working to change that. We\u2019ve built a tech-driven, transparent platform that allows homebuyers to shop and compare rates across Morty\u2019s network of lenders\u2013all in one easy-to-use place. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read how Mike, a homebuyer in Pennsylvania, was able to receive what he calls \u201cthe best possible deal\u201d by using Morty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What was sort of the biggest barrier or challenge you faced when you were shopping or your mortgage prior to Morty?&nbsp;<br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/morty-content-production.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1252112308.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1252112308.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1252112308-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1252112308-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I had a local banking mortgage relationship when I first started going through the pre-approval process. As it got closer to putting an offer in and going under contract on the house that we were buying, I was going through the estimate of what the closing would look like, and what the interest rates looked like. I just decided at that point to do a little bit of shopping on my own because I wanted to make sure that the deal that I was getting and the situation I was in was the best that it could possibly be. I actually just went online one night and got some results from five or six different companies\u2013Morty showed up on there as the one with the lowest interest rate.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">That\u2019s great! Did you continue to shop around after that?&nbsp;<br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I talked to a few of the other [brokers I found], but after going through and actually having conversations with you know, those three or four [companies], Morty still came back to what ended up being by <em>far<\/em> the lowest interest rate and comparable, if not lowest cost on the lender side. From that standpoint, that\u2019s sort of how I came across Morty and started working with you guys. I learned a lot throughout the process just in terms of researching what the different costs were and things like that.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What was the process like of actually using our service?<br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"908\" src=\"https:\/\/morty-content-production.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2019\/09\/PT_5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/PT_5.png 1600w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/PT_5-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/PT_5-1024x581.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/PT_5-768x436.png 768w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/PT_5-1536x872.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You know we try in our business now\u2014we try to do as much as we can electronically, and so that part of it felt very natural to me. [My Morty rep] was very responsive throughout the process. I was very happy with the whole experience and <em>extremely <\/em>happy, quite frankly, with the financial <em>deal<\/em> that I feel that I got just by using Morty because I even talked to other local companies toward the end and throughout this process and nobody could match the rate that I was getting.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did you feel that the mortgage process was easier to navigate than you would\u2019ve anticipated?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I tell people I learned more in those couple weeks than I ever really cared to know about mortgage stuff. By no means an expert, but you know, I do feel more equipped today than I did 30 days ago to go through that process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Well, that\u2019s actually huge. There\u2019s a lack of&nbsp;transparency around the process and that\u2019s obviously why most people don\u2019t shop around for different rate options.&nbsp;<br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"908\" src=\"https:\/\/morty-content-production.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2019\/09\/PT_4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/PT_4.png 1600w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/PT_4-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/PT_4-1024x581.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/PT_4-768x436.png 768w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/PT_4-1536x872.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s a good word, \u201ctransparency\u201d because that\u2019s how I felt. When I look around at other people I know who are sort of going through this process, my advice has been, \u201clook around online.\u201d Investigate. Because people are always going with just a local banking relationship that they have and I just don\u2019t think that they\u2019re getting good deals. Even the homeowner\u2019s insurance\u2013I had talked to a couple of local agents and the company that I already was with\u2014with my homeowners and auto insurance. I by <em>far<\/em> got a better deal even on that using one of the companies that were referred to me by Morty. I won\u2019t ever do business <em>just<\/em> with the brick &amp; mortar local companies. I just think there are better deals to be had out there when you do some investigation and you work with companies that do everything electronically online now.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Was there any sort of skepticism that you encountered not having a prior relationship with Morty compared to your local bank?<br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I looked into the company a bit and got to a comfort level and everything, but let me tell you\u2013I&nbsp; got a better deal than I could get anywhere else. And I shopped. What I was getting through the Morty relationship with both local companies <em>and<\/em> other online providers that came back through that [search] and could not find a better deal. At the end of the day, that overcame any skepticism that I encountered. When I looked at the ins and outs of your business, I [realized] I got a better financial deal than I could\u2019ve than if I\u2019d worked with Quicken directly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Loo<em>king to purchase a home?
