I just built this refinance calculator after reviewing what's currently available. On thing I felt is missing from current refi calculators is an automated calculation of your remaining loan balance based on your original terms and the month/year you took out the loan (assuming you've stuck to scheduled payments). It's also mobile friendly.
Really interested in hearing feedback and what can be improved. Thanks!
Hey guys! We appreciate you taking the time to comment and give us feedback on MortgageHippo. Our mission to make our customer experience amazing is enriched by all of your comments.
We have a lot of in-house talent who wore many hats and helped out with production, but we also called in a few favors. It helps to do a little digging in your network to see who can bring specific technical talents or knowledge, or know somebody else who can.
Hey guys, a Lifehacker post was written about our company today that came from a Show HN thread that was on the front page last week. Super happy it emerged from the HN community. Thanks!
A quick follow up: we just made a push to make the interview fully responsive and optimized for mobile. Would love to have you check it out and see what you think. Thanks!
Thanks very much for your constructive feedback. We are currently working on significantly improving the mobile experience. We are also improving our interview for customers looking to refinance (since we've been primarily focused on purchases) and will take your comment into account. Your suggestions were right on point. I hope you will give us another chance in the future. Thanks again.
Thanks for your feedback. This is passed on to our dev team to take into account other living arrangements like yours. And yes, t is a US-only offering at the moment. Thanks again.
Thanks for your comment. We're currently waiting on our CA license. Nonetheless, we're not taking mortgage applications or getting paid in any way in states where we're not licensed. There's nothing wrong with simply showing rates.
Great feedback on making it easier to dismiss the popups.
You can actually change some of the main numbers when you hit the loan results page. Did you not see the expandable section near the top? If not, that's great feedback and we'll make it clearer.
Sorry you had to go through the hassle when you went through the process. The rates that you see on the site are 100% real, and we do our best to quote the most precise fees – however, fees do vary from area to area. We also don't charge a percentage of the loan amount, since it doesn't make much sense to charge more for a $300,000 loan than for a $100,000 loan. Also, as a result of our technology and automation, we're able to pass the savings on to customers.
