Own Up , a digital mortgage shopping service, announced a commercial relationship with Realtor.com , a real estate marketplace operated by News Corp’s subsidiary, Move.

Own Up and Realtor.com’s relationship will give users direct access to Own Up’s mortgage shopping service. The integration with Realtor.com will allow homebuyers to gather detailed information about their home financing options as they search listings and find real estate agents.

“From day one, our singular goal was to be a champion for the consumer and bring greater transparency to the home buying process. As the mortgage industry continues to see changes at a rapid clip, it’s crucial that consumers are armed with the right information to make the best financial decisions. Realtor.com plays an essential role in the home search process for so many Americans and now we’ll be able to provide mortgage education and tools to comparison shop, boosting buyer confidence as they move through the process.” – Patrick Boyaggi, CEO and co-founder of Own Up.

“Own Up’s team brings deep mortgage expertise to the Realtor.com online experience. This relationship is a natural fit; together we’re able to expand upon our shared goal of helping Americans find and close on their dream homes.” – Realtor.com CFO Bryan Charap.

“The housing market is at an inflection point, marked by a lack of inventory and a historic rise in interest rates, and Own Up is uniquely positioned to help consumers navigate one of the most tumultuous components. This next phase of growth will further cement Own Up’s position as the mortgage shopping experts, ensuring no borrower overpays on their mortgage. At this time of inflation and a pending recession, cost-savings has never been more important.” – Brian Spaly, General Partner at Brand Foundry Ventures.
