Hans Bruhner, managing partner of First Priority Financial based in Forestville, California, is using LoanSifter Prime 2.0 and is seeing significant value. "LoanSifter Prime 2.0 is positively affecting the way I conduct business," Bruhner said. "More than ever, borrowers are rate-sensitive, and having the ability to very quickly price loan scenarios simultaneously without having to manually populate information from program to program or look at rate sheets saves an incredible amount of time and headaches. It makes us more nimble and responsive in how we service customers; and the borrowers are thrilled when we can save them money using the most advanced tool on the market. It's obvious that this product was developed -- and is enhanced -- with the loan professional in mind."

"In today's competitive lending environment, loan professionals want the most powerful pricing and search engine tool that will enable them to increase productivity and provide better, and more specialized, service to their borrowers," said Bruce Backer, president of LoanSifter. "The launch of LoanSifter Prime 2.0 marks a new era in meeting these goals through a 'best execution' strategy enhancement that enables loan professionals to make more informed decisions by having a thorough preview of all product term options, not just the single product they were searching for. This not only saves a tremendous amount of time, but also provides the loan professional with the ability to present their clients with the most competitive products and rates that best match their unique scenario."
