Our take
The surge in the real estate market has intensified the need for efficient home-lending options. Rather than traditional bank-issued mortgages, many lenders and borrowers are shifting towards digitized platforms. Maxwell provides a digital mortgage platform to connect mortgage lenders with homebuyers and real estate agents.
Maxwell strives to simplify the lending process while providing client-tailored lending approaches. They help to promote and connect small and mid-size lenders with customers so that the best rates are available in the fastest time possible.
The digital lending market is projected to be valued at over $20.5 billion by 2026. Keeping up with varying customer and regulator demands and changing markets is a key priority.
