Buying a home is one of the most significant decisions in a person's life. It's usually the largest purchase you'll make and involves a long-term commitment, so it's important to get it right.

Vishal Garg, founder and CEO of Better.com, joins this week's episode of Financial Freestyle with Ross Mac to discuss how his company is streamlining the mortgage process and what buyers should consider when purchasing a home.

Like many entrepreneurial ventures, Better.com started with a personal pain point. "I started Better.com because I went through the mortgage process with my wife... we were successful finance professionals, and we were like, 'This is so complicated,' like, 'How do I get pre-approved?'" recalls Garg.

A decade later, Garg is leading his mortgage company with backing from some of the world's largest investors, including Goldman Sachs and Kleiner Perkins.
