Why Choose Safe Rate Mortgage?

We are a young, tech-forward lender with competitive rates and fast processing that cares about its borrowers like a community bank. We have no origination fees, no underwriting fees and no application fees. We show our best rates upfront. Shoppers can do most mortgage things through our chat-based AI without even talking to an originator -- get a real quote, see if we can beat another lender's offer, check your refinance savings, and start an application -- all in under 60 seconds. We are not lifelong mortgage people. We are MIT roboticists and University of Chicago economists who became mortgage lenders after the 2008 subprime meltdown because we wanted to make a real change in the mortgage industry. We built better technology, better loan products, and educate borrowers so they are confident in their mortgage loan, and we continue to innovate so we're always giving borrowers the best rates and experience possible.

"I entered the world of mortgages after seeing the devastation of the subprime meltdown on my students, their families, and their communities when I was a Teach for American high school math teacher in West Garfield Park, Chicago. I wanted to make a difference, create better products, and actually support borrowers instead of selling to them, which was the norm at the time. I'm very proud of what we've created at Safe Rate."

Co-founder & CPO

"My background is in robotics and I did not think that mortgages were going to become my passion, but they have! Being the child of immigrant parents who always dreamt of owning a home, I know how much homeownership means to families, and the knowledge and financial barriers can make it so hard to reach. That's why I went from robotics to running a mortgage company. I can use my expertise in building AI and awesome tech to the mortgage industry, which desperately needs it, and where I can make a lot of impact."
