What is ClosingWTF?

ClosingWTF is an AI-powered mortgage analysis tool designed to help borrowers understand their loan documents and identify potential problems. It examines your mortgage terms, closing costs, and fees to flag whether you're paying inflated junk fees or accepting an unfavourable interest rate. The tool caters to anyone in the mortgage process, from first-time buyers to those refinancing, who want clarity on whether their deal is competitive. Rather than relying solely on a mortgage broker's assurances, you get an independent AI analysis that highlights discrepancies between market rates and what you've been offered.
