Myers celebrates 10-year anniversary
Creates next generation technology to revolutionize web sites
San Jose, California, April 18, 2005 - Myers Internet, Inc., a
leading provider of technology and marketing solutions to the mortgage
industry is now 10 years old! Myers was founded by online mortgage pioneers
Warren Myer and Lovina Worick. Lovina originated the first online mortgage
using Internet newsgroups in August 1992 and Warren setup the first mortgage
website in April 1994.
Warren Myer, an Indian immigrant, came to the US in 1984 with less than
$500. After obtaining his MS in computer science from the U. of Delaware
and his MBA in Finance from the U. of Chicago, Myer worked in engineering
and sales positions for leading computer companies. Myer started his mortgage
brokerage company after being laid off in 1992.
Lovina Worick and Warren Myer worked together in the mortgage business
in 1992. They joined forces again to start the first mortgage website
hosting company in 1995. Today Myers Internet is the dominant provider
of websites to mortgage originators, hosting over 5,000 mortgage websites
with an estimated 40% market share.
"I am especially proud of the fact that we have helped so many mortgage
originators grow from small shops into large nationwide lenders"
says Ms. Worick. "At Myers, our focus has always been on helping
mortgage originators do what they do - faster and better. With the onset
of the Internet - we watched broker's margins shrink and knew that brokers
would have to either increase production or decrease the time spent on
each loan. This is where the web came into the picture."
"We have been working on our next generation technology to dramatically
improve mortgage and real estate web sites. In Nov 2004 we released Webbuilder
2.0 to the real estate industry and our sales doubled immediately. In
June 2005, we will be releasing Webbuilder 3.0 to the mortgage industry.
We believe that Webbuilder 3.0 will help us increase our market share
from 40% to 60% in the next 2 years." said Myer.
"As part of our 10 year anniversary celebration, we will be providing
Webbuilder 3.0 to our clients as a free upgrade. Webbuilder 3.0 was created
to allow our clients to make instantaneous updates to their sites. Most
of our high end products already allow for this - now our websites will
too." said Ms. Worick.
