When a Lender Pays Off Client’s Mortgage
Strange but true. Quicken Loans, an online retail mortgage lender, paid off a client’s mortgage as part of its “Thanks a Million” contest. Daniel Carbo of Colchester, Connecticut, received the news during a center court presentation at this Saturday’s Cleveland Cavaliers basketball game at Quicken Loans Arena.
Two other contenders for the grand prize, Ryan and Tonya Rasnake from Cedar Bluff, Virginia, and Richard and Valerie Purvis from East Haven, Connecticut, each received $5,000 as runners-up in the sweepstakes at the game.
Quicken Loans’ “Thanks a Million” online promotion commemorated the closing of the company’s one millionth mortgage in late 2010.

For clients not considering a home purchase or refinance, the company also conducted an online game at its website, www.quickenloans.com, giving visitors the opportunity to win one of several thousand prizes, ranging from credit monitoring services from Quizzle.com, life-size wall graphics from Fathead, home alarm systems from Protect America and gift cards from popular retailers.

As part of the sweepstakes, the three finalists, along with their families and guests, were provided an all-expense paid trip to Cleveland, Ohio.
