Program terms shown are representative maximums and vary by borrower experience, credit profile, property type, and market. All loans are subject to underwriting approval. This is not a commitment to lend.
Other platforms stop at pre-approval letters. We go all the way to underwritten approval — and everything in between.
Other mortgage AI platforms give you a pre-approval letter. We give you an actual underwritten approval based on lender guidelines and matrix — after your documents are uploaded.
We've mapped the guidelines, rate sheets, FICO tiers, and buy boxes of 200+ Non-QM lenders. Your deal is matched against real data, not estimates.
Application, document collection, AI verification, lender matching, term sheets, LOI signing, pipeline tracking, funding. All in one place.
From the Quick Term AI Assistant that collects your info conversationally, to AI document analysis, to AI niche analysis on every lender in the matrix.
Pre-Approval Letter vs. Underwritten Approval
A pre-approval letter says "you might qualify." An underwritten approval says "you ARE approved, based on these lender guidelines, after your documents have been reviewed." That's the difference. That's what we deliver.
Stop sending clients to lenders who hand out meaningless pre-qualification letters. Give them actual underwritten approvals.
Give your clients actual underwritten approvals, not just pre-qualification letters that mean nothing at the closing table.
Your client can have a real approval in hand before they leave the showing. Serious buyers close faster.
Buyers with real underwritten approvals close faster and fall through less. Be the agent who delivers.
Your clients get a personalized experience with your loan officer's branding, profile, and AI assistant.
