The privacy and security part is not inspiring confidence. Scrolling to the next section got me thinking "Don't get scammed at closing, get scammed before closing after uploading your mortgage documents to a random website."

Cool idea though.

Hey, Aaron the builder here.

The scamming that happens to homebuyers is not even comparable to the risk in uploading docs to a website which promises they won't share user data with anyone. This is genuinely a pro buyer tool with no association with any 3rd party.

The tool has already helped many people negotiate and get a better deal on their mortgage. Please before judging understand that 70% of buyers overpay in their mortgage 1-3% in closing costs and bad rates. It's mind boggling how much lenders get away with profiting in junk fees from stressed out homebuyers.

Ah the Disney approach.

Bold strategy Cotton.

Owner did the smart thing and listened to the constructive criticism which made me feel infinitely better about using his tool.

Which I will now do, and would not have before. I am also his exact customer.

The Disney approach, if successful, would make you very rich. Their approach has made them one of the most powerful companies in the world.
