| 0:05.6 | Now, in January of 2023, Better.com launched the one-day mortgage. |
| 0:11.0 | They said that they were getting people home mortgage approvals in an average of just 12 hours. |
| 0:17.0 | They were so stoked about this, they even trademarked it. |
| 0:25.0 | Now, I know that your first-time buyers out there are looking for any edge that you can get in this competitive market. |
| 0:27.9 | So this is something we really need to take a look at. |

| 1:50.2 | I can actually hear the conversations now. Hey, what about the buyers? We haven't talked to them in a |
