BOSTON --(Business Wire)--

MortgageAuction, offering a simple, secure and transparent online mortgage auction environment, launched today.

MortgageAuction transforms the mortgage process by eliminating the need for exhaustive searching and negotiating for the best mortgage rate. Initially conducting business in Massachusetts, the company plans to expand to other states in coming months.

There are notable benefits to online mortgage auctions. Borrowers value saving money by having lenders compete for their business while reducing time-consuming research and negotiation.

They choose the auctions in which they participate, including how much and how often they bid.

The mortgage market is enormous. According to Hoover's (News - Alert), as of 2012 U.S. mortgage banking generates $60 billion in annual revenue, with the Internet serving as a major source of mortgage applications. At 35% Mortgage is the leading category for all lead generation demand. MortgageAuction delivers an online auction platform that delivers new efficiencies and opportunities for boh borrowers and lenders in this large market.

"Participating in a pre-launch beta test, I experienced first-hand how MortgageAuction can save mortgage borrowers a lot of money," said Stephanie G. of Los Angeles. "It is hassle free, straightforward, user-friendly and easy to navigate and set up. It's especially fun to watch lenders actually compete for business. Monitoring my auction was enjoyable, especially comparing the results and watching the savings add up. I received an email whenever there was a new bid in my auction, which was really useful. I also appreciated being in control, which is a unique and empowering feeling for a mortgage borrower."

"The mortgage origination industry can be challenging, especially when it comes to generating quality leads on an ongoing basis in an efficient and cost-effective manner," said Richard Shapiro of Asset Mortgage Group, Natick, MA. "MortgageAuction provides access to the 'holy grail' for lenders, borrowers actively seeking a mortgage and ready to do business. We plan to leverage MortgageAuction as a new lead generation channel that can help us grow our business and directly impact our bottom line."
