Innovative and Strategic Mobile Resource Now Available for Optimal Blue Customers

PLANO, TX--(Marketwired - February 24, 2016) - In a world fueled by technological advancements, it is no surprise that the power of mobile technology has taken over the housing industry. Homebuyers have come to expect on-demand information available at the point-of-need, resulting in upwards of ninety percent of homebuyers using the internet as a resource during the home buying process. Leading analytics companies that track internet usage showed that mobile represented more than half of all total searches in 2015.

Plano, TX.-based Optimal Blue, the premier cloud-based provider of enterprise lending services to the mortgage industry, is once again at the forefront of innovation as it launched today, QuickSearch, a powerful mobile technology service providing users a competitive edge through a strategic mobile maneuver.

Backed by the guaranteed 99.99+% accuracy of Optimal Blue Banker, QuickSearch allows borrowers, loan officers and realtor partners to rapidly access rates and products, and perform real-time pricing searches for borrowers or members at anytime, anywhere. A configurable quick search form displays the fields that are most important and relevant to the company's business, while configurable results are displayed based on unique product offerings. Comprehensive Lead Capture functionality equates to search criteria and member inputs automatically populating as a prospect in the LOs pipeline, while users also benefit from valuable resources such as consumer specific product and pricing alerts, and pre-populating Email Results.
