Google Adds Mortgages To Compare
Google
discussed on Monday that it has already added a mortgage calculator to its suite of products available on Compare earlier this year. However, it has observed that nearly one in two borrowers still don't shop around for their mortgage – perhaps due to a lack of relevant information. To help make mortgage shoppers more confident, Google has now added mortgages to its suite of Google Compare products. Google Compare for mortgage now provides an "intuitive experience" that connects lenders with borrowers and offers a "real-time, apples-to-apples comparison of rate quotes" in a short amount of time. Borrowers can also read reviews and ratings of lenders.
