JPMorgan Chase has launched a new app, Chase My New Home, to enable homebuyers through the entire process – from the time they start looking at houses until they close on their mortgage.

Chase’s My New Home app aims to simplify the home-buying experience for consumers by integrating real estate search capabilities with financing resources.

Consumers have the option of searching and rating housing options based on personal criteria, record notes, photos and videos about the houses and calculate payments.

Kevin Watters, senior vice president and head of originations, Chase Mortgage Banking, said: "As the housing market begins to recover, we are giving consumers’ all the tools they need to make the most important purchase of their life.

"My New Home is an easy-to-use tool that helps individuals find the right home for them and connect with their local Chase mortgage banker."

Chase has, reportedly, added 20% more loan officers to its branches over the course of 2012 to assist homebuyers and refinancers access low interest rates and "provide enhanced customer service".

Chase has, reportedly, made $129bn in loans in the first nine months. The lender has over 10m active mobile banking users.
