Capital Plus Financial, a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), SBA PPP lender and subsidiary of Crossroads Systems, Inc., is collaborating with MooveGuru and Blueacorn to develop and launch an online website for real estate agents to easily apply for these loans.

Paycheck Protection Program or PPP loans cover independent contractors in Real Estate, about 90% of the 1099 agents will qualify for the forgivable government PPP loan. The loan amount is likely to be around $5,000 on the low end and up to $20,833 on the high end, according to information provided by Capital Plus, Blueacorn, and MooveGuru. Approval rates are currently at 90%.

The website to share with agents to apply for the loan is https://mooveguru.blueppp.com.

To qualify, real estate agents may not have received a loan in the first round of PPP funding and received a commission check in February 2019 as an independent contractor.

"When we investigated the new laws and realized that about 80% of the real estate agents in the U.S. could qualify for the PPP, we set out to find the right partner to help make the process easy for any real estate agent or mortgage loan officer to qualify within 15 minutes. Partnering with Blueacorn was the perfect match," says Scott Oakley, CEO of MooveGuru. "They already had an entire platform for real estate agents to qualify within minutes, and the average agent is getting $12,500 in forgivable PPP loans."
