New Mortgage Reviews on SmartHippo
If you’re a regular visitor to SmartHippo, you may have noticed something new. SmartHippo now features consumer reviews of banks and mortgage companies front and center.
Why are mortgage reviews important? In a volatile market, with mortgage rates changing on a daily basis (or even more, depending on the lender) we felt it was important to use the power of the community to not just compare mortgage rates but also consumer experiences with lenders.
Consumer reviews include an overall rating as well as sub-ratings on the following aspects of their interaction with their lender:
- Customer Service
- Rate & loan terms
- Closing terms disclosure
- Closing process
Here’s a sampling of mortgage reviews from last month:

Quicken Loans launches Quizzle
Quicken Loans this week launched Quizzle, an interactive site which offers consumers a simple view of their financial health, with tips on how to improve their situation.
Quizzle is the only place that gives you a simple understanding of your home and your money, all in one spot. You’ll get a free evaluation of your credit, home value, mortgage, budget and more, then get important tips on how to make the most of them (minus the confusing financial jargon).
Getting a free copy of your credit report (without having to provide a credit card number or subscribe to a service you’ll forget to cancel later on) makes the site worth it in and of itself. Add to that the other tools to help you make sense of your property value, budget and more, and Quizzle is definitely worth a spin.
This is also a very smart move on the part of Quicken Loans, who will be able to use the data consumers voluntarily enter to promote their products.
Have you tried Quizzle? What do you think about it? Post your feedback in the comments below.
