View Comparisons

LendingTree allows customers to view multiple home loan offers simultaneously (from outside lenders, as LendingTree does not offer loans). The company displays interest rates and APRs from many of the top mortgage lenders in the country. LendingTree provides free and easy comparisons entirely online and is available to consumers in all 50 states.

Competitive Rates

LendingTree displays rates from multiple lending companies. The company shows varying APR and interest rates for a variety of VA lenders. This puts you in the position where lenders need to compete for your business.

Consumer Education

LendingTree provides as much detailed information as possible to prospective borrowers. The VA loans page goes into meticulous detail about the loan process, pros and cons of VA loans, and eligibility specifics for service members (active duty, National Guard and Reserve, and special circumstances), veterans (WWII, Post-WWII, Post-Korean War, Vietnam War, Post-Vietnam War, 24-month rule, and Gulf War), spouses, and other circumstances.

The company provides tools for checking your home's value, deciding between renting and buying, and several interactive financial calculators. In addition, you can find a glossary of common mortgage terms on its website, as well as mortgage news and articles.

• Personal Info Required

Personal Info Required

In order to access a list of mortgage lenders, prospective buyers must provide their city and state, loan amount, annual income, employment status, credit score, date of birth, bankruptcy and foreclosure history, and street address. All of this information is crucial for a lender to determine eligibility, interest rate, and beyond, but it would be helpful for users to be able to see a list of lenders (even if not specific offers) before sharing their information.
