"I want the old Loan Sifter back"
2/5
What do you like best about Loansifter?

Product eligibility and pricing for non-QM loans.; this isn't a big deal, I would rather have the old Loansifter back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Loansifter?

The old Loansifter allowed you to easily generate a PDF with search input values and results; the new Loansifter does not. In fact, I don't know of a way to capture input values and results for scenario. I sometimes do a screenshot, but the input values are usually cut-off from scrolling down the page.

The old Loansifter had a loan comparison feature; the new Loansifter does not.

The new Loansifter Encompass integration makes you close out of the search before you can flip back to the loan in Encompass; the old Loansifter allowed you to easily jump back and forth from Loan and Services tab.

The old Loansifter was simply more efficient with inputting searches and "sifting" through search results.

Where is the old Loansifter software? Did you sell it? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good product with great potential"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Loansifter?

The product is dependable and provides immediate results for interest rate and pricing results. It is also very helpful to have the lender product matrix and guidelines available when reviewing the results of the inquiry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Loansifter?

The tool is not compatible with our LOS, LendingPad, as brokers. We cannot extrapolate the data to populate a consumer-facing pricing tool. These features would benefit us greatly as brokers and give us a competitive advantage over direct lenders and retail lenders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Tool for Rate Shopping"
5/5
What do you like best about Loansifter?

Loansifter is the best tool to get real-time quotes from all the lenders you work with so you can shop for the best rate/cost for your client. If you are thinking about new lenders, you can view promotional lenders as well to decide if you need to add a new lender to your mix. It saves time with so many of the great features. You can save the scenarios (I add the client's last name to the front) so when a client calls back or you are reshopping a new purchase, all you need to do is update a couple pieces of information and you have a new quote. I remember the days of pulling out the rate sheets and making all the manual calculations...this is just so much easier. Saves time so we can work with more clients or take the afternoon off!! This is a real tool that we can't live without! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Loansifter?

I wish that the appraised value screen was easier to work with. It's not necessary on a purchase and would save a step in making changes on scenarios. Also, if the scenario is 80%, would be nice to consider that the default unless the LO changes it, again saving an additional step. Also, we use Byte Pro Online and I wish we still had the interface from inside Byte that let us push the scenarios out from our LOS. Next on my wish list.

Occasionally, there are issues with inaccurate pricing but it's usually a lender error on the rate sheet provided or information given to LoanSifter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
