LendingTree Launches Blackberry App

LendingTree has launched its first Blackberry app, called the Mortgage RateFinder. The free application allows users to obtain on-the-spot loan offers anonymously. "In today's low-rate mortgage environment, it's important for consumers to shop around to ensure they're receiving the best possible rate," said Doug Lebda, founder and CEO of LendingTree. "In fact, since the introduction of our iPhone Mortgage RateFinder app in January, consumers have received more than 51,000 loan offers from participating lenders." In using the app, consumers have to enter information about the loan they would like and the app will instantly provide users with up to 30 different, customized loan offers from network lenders. Once a great offer is found, users can click to be contacted by that lender and move forward with the loan request.
