Why now? AI inference
Demand appears to be accelerating because independent mortgage brokers are adopting more digital workflows while existing products remain oriented toward a broad, generic use case. Current tools cover parts of the job but not the painful step.
Existing solutions Observed
- Floify · $79+/mo · complaints: Too complex for small operators, Expensive per seat
- BeSmartee · Custom · complaints: Generic workflow, Weak reporting
Existing products mostly target larger teams or adjacent jobs. Few solutions specifically serve independent mortgage brokers who only need to solveing on pre-approvals.
