If you're seeing an unfamiliar lender in your listing setup OR in your Open House sign-in, this article will explain how to remove/replace them.
...but first, here's why lender pairing exists in Curb Hero:
We want to provide as many free tools to our users as possible. Most of our enhanced features come at a significant development cost, so to cover these costs, lenders pay us to advertise on Curb Hero.
Disabling The Default Expert Lender
You can disable the paired lender by selecting the lender's profile info that's displayed in the Listing Setup.
Note: Once disabled, the mortgage question will be removed from your Open House Sign-in flow.
The paired lender profile is located on top of the map next to the listing address.
2. An overlay will open and there's an option on the bottom to disable the paired lender
When you do this, all Enhanced Features will be disabled for that listing. The core Curb Hero app's feature set will still be available (for free).
If you'd like your preferred lender to replace the Default Lender AND continue using the enhanced features you can invite a lender right inside our app by going to "My Paired Lender" (it's in our main menu ☰) OR invite them by using this form.
