Mortgage Matters Direct has signed a partnership with intermediary platform Acre, which the broker firm says will streamline research, recommendations and applications for its advisors. 

The tech firm adds that the business and its clients will benefit from instant client/broker communications, access to credit information, application transparency and the secure transfer of documents 

Mortgage Matters Direct — owned by estate agent Arun Estates, which operates over 100 branches across the southeast — has helped arrange over £20bn of home loans. 

Acre, founded in 2017, provides customer relationship management mortgage and protection software to brokers. 

Mortgage Matters Direct business development and systems director Samantha Youells says. “We believe that together we can provide our clients with a premium service using the latest technology which will enable us to support our customers with the best advice and help them move forward on their life’s journey.”  

Acre founder and chief executive Justus Brown adds: “Mortgage Matters Direct’s decision to use Acre is a clear demonstration of how leading estate agencies can use best-in-class technology to help to deliver a ‘gold plated’ homebuying experience while keeping more value of the purchase within the business.”
