Tomo Mortgage provides a streamlined mortgage process aimed at homebuyers, especially first-time buyers. Their main feature, "Lock & Shop," allows customers to secure their mortgage rate for 90 or 120 days while they search for a home, protecting them from rising interest rates and allowing for adjustments if rates decrease. Tomo guarantees on-time closing, which is crucial for buyers. Unlike many lenders, they do not charge lender fees and promise to match any better offers customers find elsewhere, making their pricing competitive. Their dedicated team of mortgage advisors supports customers throughout the process, and their digital platform offers flexibility for adjusting applications at any time. Tomo's goal is to create a transparent and efficient mortgage experience that prioritizes customer control and satisfaction.
