Congrats on the launch.

Was pulling my hair out trying to coordinate tasks in applying for a mortgage between me, my wife, the banker, the insurance company and the title people. I thought to myself it'd be great to have something like shared inbox but for personal use.

Would love to test this

Separately, why there isn't a tool used by the mortgage broker to facilitate this, I have no idea. It's a nightmare of documents and tasks that makes the whole process 8 times as long.

There’s a million tools like this out there but brokers just want to get deals closed so they fall back to whatever is preferred by the borrower which is always email.

Thank you. You certainly can test it, thanks for joining the list. Your situation is exactly the kind of thing we'd love to solve. We had a similar experience communicating with accountants. Plum Mail is not a shared inbox as such but it is a shared platform so the features you probably need to make life easier talking to multiple people are then possible.
