The
principals of HandHeld Power have extensive and successful experience over 25
years
in the financial services field in America, with
an emphasis
on mortgage-related services.
Our group founded
the first licensed mortgage broker in Illinois in 1982 and pioneered the
development of the brokerage business in Illinois. Our experience
in mortgage origination has involved serving thousands of Realtors, and we
are very familiar with the importance of this profession to the home buying
and mortgage needs of their clients. We have worked with banks of all sizes,
including many of the largest national banks.

As lenders, we
came to know the challenge of developing a productive relationship between
mortgage lenders and Realtors. We also realized
that mortgage lending is a decentralized industry in America, with many thousands
of originators seeking loan referrals from Realtors. Mortgage lending is also
an undifferentiated activity, characterized by interest rate parity among lenders.
With these understandings,
our mission was to create a company that would build a totally different
relationship between Lenders and Realtors – one
that fostered a superior, positive and supportive working relationship.
Our solution is to:
|
|
Connect
a Realtor and a Lender through a common operating platform using
a Personal Digital Assistant, supported by wireless technology over the
Internet. |
|
|
Integrate
PDA functionality of the Realtor with mortgage services offered by the
Lender -- to encourage a mutual reliance on one another. |
We recognize another
opportunity: that Realtors have been “late adopters” of
technology, but they would respond to a program that brought them into the
Digital Age simply, quickly, and cheaply – and for reasons that helped
them sell more homes.
HHP is not a mortgage company, but it was formed by people who know the mortgage
field specifically as it relates to working with Realtors. HHP is designed
to bring a unique capability to Realtors and an innovative way for Lenders
to dramatically increase mortgage loan production through the Realtor channel.
