loanDepot and Century 21 Redwood Realty have launched a joint venture partnership named Day 1 Mortgage to create a simplified, one-stop shopping experience providing confidence and clarity for home buyers in Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia. This innovative real estate joint venture will leverage loanDepot's powerful proprietary mello technology and Redwood Realty's insightfully local expertise.

Through this joint venture, mid-Atlantic area customers will get a streamlined home search and purchasing experience with a real estate broker and lender working in tandem to provide the right products, latest technology, and exceptional customer service. Day 1 Mortgage makes finding and financing a home a seamless, painless and paperless process.

"This partnership underscores our ongoing mission to provide the best tools and service to our customers," said Eddie Berenbaum, President of Century 21 Redwood Realty.

Powering Day 1 Mortgage is loanDepot's innovative proprietary technology, mello, which is transforming the lending industry and forever changing how customers experience the lending transaction. Among the many features of the immersive mello experience is a consumer portal that enables customers to view, upload, acknowledge and sign loan documents as well as securely message with loan officers and processors.

"With mello's unequaled ability to streamline and simplify the home buying process, we're confident that Redwood Realty's customers will enjoy the seamless purchase experience that Day 1 Mortgage will provide," said Dan Peña, senior vice president of national joint ventures for loanDepot. "To help ensure the program's success, we've also brought in a local lending expert with a proven track record built on his commitment to customer service."

Musser is deeply familiar with the unique complexities of the Washington, D.C. region's challenging real estate market where home buying should not be left to chance.

"Dealing with aggressive competition in one of the country's hottest housing markets requires skillful guidance and an arsenal of tools. Only Redwood Realty can offer both with its top-notch brokers and Day 1 Mortgage program," said Musser.
