Our mission

We’re making homeownership simpler, faster — and most importantly, more accessible for all Americans.

The status quo is broken

The traditional processes around homeownership are opaque
and stressful. Fees aren’t transparent and some are simply
outrageous in size. Traditional mortgage lending is rife with
unnecessary fees and slow, painful processes. It’s a system set
up to benefit insiders — not you. Better.com CEO, Vishal Garg,
set out to change that.

Vishal

How we’re changing things

Homeownership is a huge part of our economy. Housing overall is a $33 trillion business, and mortgages account for $15 trillion. Yet home finance operates in the same way it has for decades — through opaque systems and expensive intermediaries whose interests are misaligned with consumers’.

That’s why Better.com is redefining the homeownership process from the ground up. We’re using technology to make it faster and more efficient, and humans to help make it friendly and enjoyable.
