Whether you're looking to renovate, consolidate debt, or cover unexpected expenses, a home equity loan can help you get there. Leverage your home’s value with Lower.
Quick and Simple. These are qualities we all need when trying to accomplish a new home purchase amidst our daily obligations. Austin and his team at Lower went far beyond my expectations in assisting me with moving into my new home. I am in a customer experience line of work myself and I’m convinced Austin COULD NOT have made this any easier for me. I’ll be back for my next one!

I reached out to about half a dozen banks when looking for a Home Mortgage. Lower came back with the best rates and the agent was extremely responsive and helpful.
My score wasn't the best but Adam was pretty confident he could work something out and this was after being told no by other lenders. I didn't get my hopes up but to my surprise I was approved!
My husband and I were extremely happy working with Patrick Martin and thanks to Lending Tree we were connected to Patrick. He made everything easy. He's highly knowledgeable and obviously cares about his customers. We highly recommend Lending Tree and Lower.com Because of them we are finally debt free!!
