Tomo

Tomo Mortgage is a consumer mortgage lender that markets itself on price transparency and process automation. Its website displays loan rates publicly rather than routing prospective borrowers through a salesperson, and the company states its rates run roughly 0.5% below the industry average and as much as a full percentage point below some large lenders. It also states that it does not add thousands of dollars in extra fees charged by other lenders, and estimates typical buyer savings of about $4,000 at closing.

The application experience is built around self-service and data connectivity: borrowers can start and adjust an application at any time of day, and can securely link bank accounts through an integration covering more than 10,000 financial institutions. Supporting tools include a "TrueRate" rate check, which the company positions as available even to buyers who ultimately finance elsewhere, and an affordability calculator that maps a buyer's budget and income to a home price range. The site addresses questions about the states served, loan types offered, refinancing availability, supported borrower types and minimum down payment, and provides phone and text contact channels.

Business model

Tomo Mortgage originates residential mortgages directly with consumers, competing on rate level and the absence of added lender fees rather than on commissioned sales relationships.

Traction

The company reports a 98% on-time closing rate against a stated 40% industry average, a 5.0 rating from more than 70 customer reviews, and typical closing-cost savings of about $4,000; testimonials come from buyers in Seattle, Washington and Houston, Texas.
