The genesis of the SimpleNexus platform began in 2011 when Founder and CEO Matt Hansen agreed to a favor for a loan officer family member. Hansen built a simple app over the weekend for his brother-in-law to run loan calculations and include contact info. Within weeks, other originators saw the product and requested their own version of the app to share with borrowers. It quickly became obvious Hansen’s product had true potential to fill a void in the market.
Today, the company is a 200-person organization serving over 300 mortgage companies and more than 42,000 loan originators nationwide. The platform has enabled these lenders to connect with over 4 million borrowers and 145,000 real estate partners to handle over 13 million loans totaling over $3 trillion in volume.
