Tap your equity without writing a check to get there.

Traditional home equity lending charges you before it pays you: a $500–$700 appraisal, application fees, title and recording charges, an annual fee forever after. This HELOC flips that — nothing due at closing, no appraisal fee (your home is valued digitally under $500K), and no annual fee. The costs that do exist — the interest rate and an origination fee — are shown to you upfront, in writing, before you commit to anything. No games, no 'ask your closer' surprises.

The complete cost picture — including what isn't zero

"Free" is a marketing word. Here's the whole ledger, so nothing surprises you later.

What you don't pay

  • $0 due at closing — no out-of-pocket check to open the line
  • $0 appraisal fee — digital valuation replaces the appraiser under $500K
  • $0 annual fee — an idle line costs nothing to keep open
  • $0 application fee — and checking your rate is a free soft pull

What you do pay — shown upfront

  • Interest on what you draw — the rate is on your offer screen before you accept anything
  • An origination fee, disclosed in your offer and built into the transaction — not billed out of pocket
  • That's the list. If a cost isn't on your offer screen, it doesn't exist
  • Compare offers freely — you're never committed until you accept in writing

$0 out of pocket, in 3 steps

The only money that moves at closing moves toward you.

Close — nothing due

eSign with an online notary. Nothing is due at closing, there's no annual fee after, and funds arrive in as little as 3 days after approval.*

Why "zero out of pocket" actually matters

You're borrowing because you need cash

The old model is backwards: pay $1,000+ in fees to access your own equity. If you had spare thousands lying around, you might not need the line. $0 due at closing fixes the order of operations.

Honesty beats 'no fees' marketing

Every 'no closing cost' HELOC has real costs somewhere — usually the rate or an origination fee. Ours are disclosed upfront, in writing, before you commit. What we've deleted is the out-of-pocket kind: appraisal, annual, application, and closing-day charges.

No annual fee changes the math

A $50–$100 annual fee quietly turns an idle credit line into a subscription. With no annual fee, keeping the line open as an emergency reserve genuinely costs nothing until you draw.

Free to find out

Soft pull, no SSN, no application fee — checking your rate is completely free and commits you to nothing. The worst case is you learn your number.

Frequently asked questions

Is this really a no-closing-cost HELOC?
It's a zero out-of-pocket HELOC, and we think that's the honest way to say it: nothing is due at closing, there's no appraisal fee (digital valuation under $500K), no application fee, and no annual fee. The costs that exist — interest on what you draw and an origination fee — are disclosed on your offer screen before you commit, not billed out of your pocket at a closing table.
Where's the catch? Every 'free' HELOC has one.
Correct — which is why we show the ledger. The origination fee is real and disclosed upfront in your offer; interest is real and only accrues on what you draw. What's genuinely deleted is the out-of-pocket layer: the appraisal bill, closing-day charges, and the annual fee. You'll see every number before you accept, and you can walk away at any point before signing.
How is the appraisal free?
Because under $500,000 there isn't one — your home is valued with a digital (automated) valuation model using recorded sales, county data, and market comps. No appraiser visit to schedule, no $500–$700 invoice. Loans of $500K+ may require additional valuation steps.
Does 'no annual fee' mean I can keep the line open as an emergency fund?
Yes — that's one of the smartest uses. With no annual fee, an open, undrawn line costs you nothing while giving you same-week access to your equity if life happens. Interest only starts when you actually draw.
How fast can I get the money?
Rate check in about 5 minutes; after approval and closing, funding in as little as 3 days.* No appraiser scheduling is a big part of why the timeline stays short.
Will checking my rate hurt my credit score?
No. Prequalification uses a soft credit inquiry with no score impact, and no SSN is required to check your rate. A hard inquiry only occurs if you proceed with the full application.
Do I need tax returns or W-2s?
No — income can be verified from bank statements through a secure, read-only connection. Self-employed borrowers qualify on real cash flow.
How much can I borrow?
Lines run from $15,000 to $750,000 depending on your equity, credit profile, and state. The form above estimates your available equity in about 60 seconds.
