Dow Jones Description
LendingTree sprung out of a vision by founder and CEO Doug Lebda in 1996 to make the lending process more consumer-friendly, and has been grown by leaps and bounds from then. Since its inception, the company has helped more than 20 million borrowers. After a successful initial public offering (IPO) in 2000, LendingTree was acquired by Barry Diller's IAC (NASDAQ: IACI), a family of high-growth interactive companies that includes Ask.com, Ticketmaster and Match.com. Meanwhile, HomeLoanCenter.com was founded in 2002 by Anthony Hsieh as the first online mortgage company to offer consumers direct access to the most diverse array of mortgage products available. Specializing in finding "a loan for every home," HomeLoanCenter.com grew from six to more than 900 employees in just over two years. In 2004, LendingTree and HomeLoanCenter.com combined forces to become the nation's dominant online mortgage resource. As mortgage rates remain near historic lows in 2007, and housing values stabilize in a market that's forecasted to top $2.39 trillion in fundings, LendingTree continues to develop and leverage the number one brand in financial services. Our valued employees help us achieve our goals, and we're adding to our team to build our future.
