Newrez forms partnership to create a mortgage resource hub

Newrez has teamed up with Patch Media to launch a co-branded homebuying mortgage resource hub.

Under the multi-year deal, NewRez will create a mortgage content hub hosted on the Patch platform that aims to inform and empower prospective and current homeowners in their decision-making, a release said. The digital hub includes relevant news and informational resources for first-time homebuyers and people going through the refinancing process.

“As a mortgage lender, our mission is to empower current, as well as prospective borrowers, by providing mortgage expertise and innovative products that allow them to explore their financial options and ultimately make the most educated decision on what is best for them as homebuyers,” said Baron Silverstein, president and chief operating officer of Newrez. “Through this partnership, we look forward to serving as a resource for homebuyers at an even larger scale and look forward to working with the Patch team as our partners to make it happen.”

The companies plan to add localized content hubs within the main mortgage resource hub, including educational content, buying and selling guides, and easy-to-use mortgage calculators. The partnership will also see Newrez and Patch develop a digital app in the future.

“The Patch audience is deeply engaged with our local real estate coverage and includes many who are actively exploring real estate transactions or refinancing,” said Will Figueroa, vice president of revenue at Patch. “Our partnership with Newrez gives these users access to practical and timely information to help them make better decisions about one of the most significant economic events of their lives.”
