PrimeLending, a leading national home lender, launched Loanplicity.com® Powered by PrimeLending®, a new online educational center for First-Time Home Buyers. Loanplicity.com features a wide range of learning resources that explain the mortgage process in simple terms and empowers consumers to explore the subject in a self-paced, pressure-free environment.
“We believe buying a home for the first time should be a positive, rewarding experience that starts with feeling prepared and knowledgeable,” said Tim Elkins, Chief Production Officer of PrimeLending. “That’s why we’ve created Loanplicity.com – to help today’s home buyers build a solid understanding of the basic mortgage process and confidently make a decision whether to buy a home.”
The site includes a wide variety of content types, such as interactive tools, helpful articles, educational videos and in-depth guides, giving home buyers the power of choice. A prominent feature of Loanplicity.com is a simple self-assessment quiz that helps individuals gauge how prepared they are to buy a home. Consumers can also sign-up for a Lesson Plan, a series of activity-filled emails designed to walk potential first-time homeowners through important mortgage-related topics and preparation steps.
According to the National REALTORS Association, the first-time homebuyer market made up 33% of all homes purchased in 20201. This is the largest and fastest growing segment in the residential real estate industry and is primarily made up of under 40-year-old millennials and generation Z.
“97% of home buyers used the Internet as part of the new home search in 20201,” said Cheryl Hayes, Senior Vice President of Marketing for PrimeLending. “With Loanplicity.com, we’re meeting these consumers where they want to do business and providing trusted guidance to help them take control of what has traditionally been seen as an overwhelming and complex process.”
