RatePlug is the #1 MLS integrated technology platform that connects agents, home buyers, and loan originators. When agents connect with lenders to participate in RatePlug, the result is the 4 bedroom 2.5 bath home isn't only $225,000. It's $1,375.87 per month including principal, interest, taxes, and HOA. Your invited lender's current products and live rates are used to calculate affordability. When buyers understand the monthly cost to own, agents can focus their buyers upon homes buyers can afford and close. By connecting their buyers with a trusted lender agents report a 15% faster contact to close when using RatePlug.
RatePlug also displays special financing prequalification in the agent dash board for all properties listed within the MLS.
