LoanBright Ranks No. 9 for the Real Estate Sector on the 2005 Inc. 500 list of America’s Fastest Growing Companies

EVERGREEN, CO., November 10, 2005 – LoanBright, a leading provider of online home loan comparison shopping services to consumers and internet marketing and lead generation services to the lending industry, announced today that it has been selected by Inc. Magazine as one of America’s 500 Fastest-Growing Private Companies. LoanBright ranks No. 162 on the 2005 Inc. 500, with three-year sales growth of 659%, placing LoanBright at the No. 9 spot within the real estate sector.
LoanBright operates the Loan.com and CompareInterestRates.com home loan comparison shopping services for consumers and offers a powerful suite of comprehensive pay-per-click (PPC) marketing and lead generation products to the lending industry.

For mortgage companies looking to drive highly-targeted consumer traffic to their websites, the Loan.com pay-per-click service works similar to the bid-based system offered by the major search engine's sponsored links. With Loan.com, however, advertisers bid on categories of loans rather than keywords. Loan.com has defined over 600 different loan categories open for bidding and the minimum bid for a listing is $1.00 per click. Lenders are ranked within each category based on the amount of their bid. For consumers, Loan.com offers a multi-lender, loan comparison shopping experience where consumers can compare the rates and fees from a variety of lenders, for a variety of consumer loan products. Consumers can click through to a lender’s website where they can apply for loans directly on a lender’s website or obtain additional information on a specific lender’s loan products and services.

CompareInterestRates.com is an online marketplace where consumers can compare 9,000 daily mortgage rate quotes from over 300 lenders and brokers. Consumers shopping for mortgage financing on CompareInterestRates.com can submit a request online for a personalized mortgage rate quote. Those requests are delivered to mortgage companies as sales leads, who then respond to those consumer requests. Since its launch in 1999, CompareInterestRates.com has generated over $60 billion worth of mortgage information requests and the website received over 4.4 million visitors in 2004.

The Inc. 500 can be found in the November issue of Inc Magazine, which appears on newsstands November 1, 2005. The Inc. 500 ranks privately held companies according to year-over-year sales growth from 2001 to 2004. With approximately 75% of all new job creation in the U.S. coming from entrepreneurial businesses, the Inc. 500 opens a window onto the companies and industries that are driving the economy forward. Over the years, the Inc. 500 has identified the next generation of world-class companies, with Microsoft, Stonyfield Farms, Timberland, Oracle, The Princeton Review, Morningstar, Jamba Juice, Gateway, E*Trade, Intuit, and Domino’s Pizza all appearing on the list before they became industry powerhouses.
