Mortgage Recommender Home-Account Acquired By Bills.com
A Kayak.com for mortgages, Home-Account offers a free and paid service for those who are looking for mortgage or to re-finance. Home-Account helps consumers find the right mortgage for their needs and credit histories from its partner lenders. Home-Account doesn’t make commissions from the buyers or the lenders, like some online mortgage services like LendingTree.com and LowerMyBills.com. It makes money solely from the consumer subscriptions. Home-Account’s founder Mark Goldstein says that since the company’s launch last year, the startup helped close “hundreds of mortgages.”
Since Bills.com was an investor, the company worked closely with Home-Account and found that it would fit well with Bills.com’s mission to be a resource to help people make better financial decisions. Ethan Ewing, President of Bills.com says that the company plans to take the Home-Account platform, and scale to other financial decisions, such as paying off credit card debt.
