Rate1st Provides Expansive New Directory of Financial Resources

Denver, CO (PRLeap) July 30, 2008 — Rate1st users will now have access to Rate1st's new Directory of Financial Resources, in which scores of related websites have been compiled, and organized by category. The directory is the first of a number of new tools and resources available from Rate1st's new online home mortgage loans website.

The new directory is simply designed and easy to navigate, allowing users to quickly locate information pertaining to their particular goals or needs. For example, those searching for a real estate agent before taking out a jumbo mortgage can simply open up the Business category, under which they will find the Real Estate sub-category, which in turn contains the Agents and Agencies sub-category, containing links to a variety of real estate agents and firms, dealing with both commercial and residential real estate.

Rate1st is proudly committed to providing excellent service, and the most in depth information available on topics such as mortgage rates, reverse mortgage loans, and more. The new directory will allow Rate1st to better serve their clientele, and ensure that their clients are able to make the best possible decision regarding their home mortgage loan.

Along with the new financial directory, Rate1st will soon be adding a number of other resources, such as up-to-date news articles on a host of related topics, a mortgage calculator page with tools to calculate loan payments and amortization schedules, and even a book store stocked with a variety of titles useful to potential borrowers and consumers in need of a greater depth of information.

Already the largest online lending network in the United States, Rate1st connects borrowers to over five-hundred different lending institutions, in a way unrivaled by any other company. Many competing companies claim to do the same thing, but are in fact lead providers for their lenders, rather than actually working to get competetive loan terms for their customers. For instance, when a client comes to Rate1st looking for information on FHA loans, instead of simply selling client information to five or six lenders (who each perform a credit check), Rate1st provides a Certified Mortgage Planner (CMP), who consults with the client and works to find the best loan, and terms for their unique situations.
