🚀 Intro to My Home Value: Turn Your App Into the #1 Source for Home Loans

May 19, 2025

In a world where 80% of mortgage-ready homeowners don’t borrow from their primary financial institution, My Home Value (previously Chimney Home) exists to flip that stat on its head. This is not another widget. It’s your new growth engine: a low-lift, high-impact platform that transforms your digital banking experience into your #1 source of home loans.

🔥 Why financial institutions choose My Home Value

My Home Value helps you identify, engage, and convert borrowers - all within your existing app infrastructure. No more missed opportunities. No more flying blind.

  • Get Better Data: Access real-time home values, lien data, equity, and mortgage info.
  • Convert More Leads: Target the right member at the right time with personalized loan offers.
  • Automate Everything: From campaign deployment to loan triggers, Chimney runs in the background, 24/7.

Institutions using Chimney see 2x application completion rates and 25% higher pull-through rates.

🙋‍♂️ The key personas who buy Chimney

Chimney wins when we align to one of these three roles:

  • Chief Marketing Officer / VP Digital: They want to increase MAUs, own member engagement, and improve NPS.
  • Chief Lending Officer / VP Consumer Lending: Their mandate is clear: drive more qualified applications and reduce fallout.
  • Product or Innovation Teams: Seeking fast-to-deploy, easy-to-measure tools that don't eat up engineering resources.

💡 Why homeowners love My Home Value

Homeowners aren’t looking for a mortgage. They’re looking for confidence, control, and clarity. My Home Value delivers:

  • Track Their Home Value — Stop going to competitors.
  • See Equity & Borrowing Power — Personalized to your lending criteria.
  • Understand Their Options — In-app education & calculators.
  • Act on Offers — Refi, HELOC, debt consolidation and more, all inside your app.

65% of homeowners using Chimney log in monthly. And those users are 3-4x more likely to apply for a loan.
