React Native app for mortgage officers, buyers, and sellers, with separate flows for each role through the loan-processing pipeline.
Bright Connect is a React Native app I built for BeSmartee that lets mortgage and real estate professionals process loans from their phones. It supports three user roles—officers, buyers, and sellers—each with its own multi-step loan workflow.
Highlights
- React Native mobile app for cross-platform mortgage processing
- Multi-user experience serving officers, buyers, and sellers
- Complex workflow management for mortgage document processing
- Written in TypeScript, with shared types for the loan and document models across screens.
- Built for on-site use—officers can collect documents and update applications from a borrower's home or an open house.
- App Store distribution with professional financial tools
The problem it solves
Loan officers spend a lot of time away from their desks—at closings, open houses, and client meetings. The app lets them collect documents, check application status, and message buyers and sellers without going back to a laptop.
Result
Shipped to the App Store. Covers document collection, application tracking, and in-app messaging between officers, buyers, and sellers.
