The mortgage lending industry over the years has provided housing financing for millions of individuals. The need for shelter is a basic need of man and in order to purchase a house a lot of individuals require the services of financial lending institutions to obtain loans and finance the purchase. The industry has been serving it’s purpose over the years but it doesn’t mean it has been without faults, faults both borrowers and real estate agents can attest to.
An Inefficient System
Think of all the problems people have to go through daily in order to obtain mortgage loans and you will agree that the current Mortgage system is skewed and there is a great urgency for change. The current system is marred by a lot of inefficiencies in the processing of loans, less secure, lack of transparency, high cost, takes longer time than necessary. Many of the these problems are as a result of the huge interference of middlemen and unsecure database of financial parties which lends it to being susceptible to hacks or data abuse.
A Revolutionary Lending Platform
Then imagine all the benefits a system that is built around smart contracts that automate business processes at and when due, and a Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) that relies on the different nodes in the newtwork to store data with no singular point of failure. This is the revolution Homelend is Chairing. Homelend is a revolutionary blockchain solution that intends to simplify the process of obtaining mortgage loans through a number of automated processes that has been designed to eliminate the current complexities in traditional mortgage industry.
