The interactive borrower education platform that helps loan officers close more deals through advice, not price.
Overview
Mortgage Coach is a specialized financial technology platform designed to transform the mortgage lending process. Its core feature, the 'Total Cost Analysis' (TCA), provides borrowers with clear, visual comparisons of home loan options on any device. By focusing on long-term wealth creation and financial literacy, it enables loan officers to act as trusted advisors rather than simple rate-quoters. In 2022, it merged with Sales Boomerang to form TrustEngine, creating a unified performance platform for the mortgage industry.
