Celligence™ - Bringing True Fair Lending by Implementing Blockchain Technology

The current real estate industry is rife with inefficiencies and inequality. On December 7th, Celligence™ and Sun West Mortgage President and CEO Pavan Agarwal, spoke at the Benzinga Future of Crypto Conference to explore how blockchain is democratizing real estate and how Celligence™ is disrupting the industry status quo by putting the power into the hands of every buyer with its flagship AI product, Morgan™, accessed at helloMORGAN.com. 

Earlier this year, Celligence™ unveiled Morgan and its TRU Approval® NFT. Celligence™  has converted a worthless home loan pre-approval into a valuable, property-agnostic TRU Approval® NFT that is embedded with a conditional guarantee and is conditionally backed by real US dollars from Sun West Mortgage. This makes the buyer's offer as good as cash, creating liquidity and equality for all buyers. It puts the power into the hands of the buyer and opens opportunities for borrowers in underserved markets with lower income and credit scores, as the homebuyer now becomes the seller of their valuable TRU Approval® NFT. 

Pavan explained, “It is our mission to make the home buying easy and accessible to all buyers. With our technology, we can equip borrowers who have lower credit scores and income with the same power as the buyer who can make an all-cash offer. Buyers know exactly what they are qualified for, gain liquidity, and are backed by a major financial institution. True fair lending can be achieved once everyone has a TRU Approval® NFT.”

Morgan brings transparency and trust to the sales process thereby improving efficiency and resulting in cost reductions for the borrower. Currently, industry-standard closing costs and property sales costs are around 6-9% of the sales price. With our technology, we can greatly reduce the costs to buyers and sellers.

Pavan further emphasized, “When we talk about NFTs and blockchain, we are not talking about buying a home with Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any other cryptocurrency. This is about buying a home with real fiat currency. Also, there is no need to record all real estate transactions on an open blockchain ledger. Since we can record mortgage transactions on the existing standard of  Mortgage Electronic Registration System (MERS) for only about $10, the mortgage recording problem has already been solved and has stood the test of time. There is little to be gained by creating an alternative mortgage recording system on the blockchain. On the contrary, we are taking the core blockchain technology and making it do real work by increasing transparency, reducing risk and costs to buyers, and achieving true fair lending.”
