DETROIT, Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Rocket
Mortgage, America's largest mortgage lender and a part of Rocket
Companies (NYSE: RKT), today launched a national mortgage broker
directory, which is prominently displayed on its highly trafficked
website. Homebuyers, and those looking to refinance their current
loan, can easily start the mortgage process through the Rocket
platform in any way that works best for them – which now includes a
local independent mortgage broker in their community as an option
through this exciting new directory on
RocketMortgage.com.
"At our core, we are obsessed with providing Americans an
incredible process through our powerful Rocket technology platform
and infrastructure. There are many ways to receive this experience,
no matter how they apply for a mortgage – including our Rocket Pro
TPO national network of broker partners," said Jay Farner, CEO of Detroit-based Rocket Mortgage. "Our clients
deserve the opportunity to easily choose the method that makes them
most comfortable. This directory truly puts the power of choice
into their hands."
When Quicken Loans Mortgage Services transitioned to Rocket Pro
TPO in September, it told mortgage brokers the change
would enable them to leverage the most recognizable brand in
mortgage origination to grow their business. Today's announcement,
placing our broker partners on the Rocket Mortgage website, which
sees nearly 115,000,000 visitors annually, is further proof of that
commitment. In addition to being on the website, brokers partnering
with Rocket can show their clients they have access to the elite,
industry-leading technology that is synonymous with revolutionizing
the mortgage experience.
"The directory not only includes the 43,000 individual loan
officers who work with us, but every mortgage broker in the
country," said Austin Niemiec,
Executive Vice President of Rocket Pro TPO. "This new resource is
not about us; it's about giving consumers more choice and assuring
they know how an independent loan officer in their community can
help them. Brokers are now featured on one of the most well-known
mortgage websites in the country. Whenever Americans see the Rocket
Mortgage brand during an NFL game, on HGTV or while watching
eSports, it can lead them to their local mortgage
professional."
In addition to Rocket Mortgage's usual advertising that can lead
homebuyers to a mortgage professional through the new directory,
the company announced they will soon be broadcasting a very special
advertisement exclusively dedicated to brokers during America's
largest broadcast event. More details will be made available
in the coming weeks.
Rock Financial, the company that would become Rocket Mortgage,
started in 1985 as a mortgage brokerage serving southeast
Michigan. Building on this
heritage, in 2010, the lender launched a division that works
directly with local independent brokers, credit unions and
community banks. Its past as a broker remains in the company's DNA,
with Rocket Pro TPO using its history and resources to help
mortgage professionals better assist their clients. Technology is a
core focus of this mission. In fact, the company partnered with
Google to add its leading artificial intelligence and machine
learning into "PathFinder by Rocket," a tool that answers brokers'
loan guideline questions so they can easily find the best mortgage
program for their clients and have certainty the loan will
close.
Rocket Pro TPO has become a major force in the broker community,
more than doubling the size of its partner network in the last two
years. It is continuing to add new partners at an unprecedented
rate through a streamlined on-boarding process that allows loan
officers to begin originating mortgages with the lender in as few
as 24 hours after application. If you are a broker who is
interested in partnering with Rocket Pro TPO, enter your
