About Ralo
Summary
Ralo builds an automated mortgage platform for homebuyers and refinancers, replacing the traditional broker with software that shops multiple lenders, reads every quote for hidden fees, and ranks loans by true cost. It handles the paperwork, pricing, and negotiation that brokers typically charge for, passing the savings to the borrower.
Business model
A flat $1,250 origination fee plus a fraction of the standard broker commission per closed loan.
Go-to-market
Borrowers apply self-serve through a single form with no login required, and the pricing engine instantly returns ranked lender quotes.
