Alex Leduc, founder and CEO of Perch, said that the platform helps mortgage applicants see exactly what they can afford and what they can get pre-approved for, while providing them access to some of the lowest rates nationwide.

“For those looking to build wealth through their existing real estate portfolio, our online platform makes it easy for people to make informed decisions,” Leduc said. “When we learned APOLLO offered a fully digital experience in the insurance space, while also helping their users save money through lower premiums, we saw a clear overlap and connection.”
