Spring EQ Featured on Lifetime’s Designing Spaces!

Home Improvement June 10, 2026 Blog Post

Spring EQ recently appeared on an episode of Designing Spaces on Lifetime, showcasing how homeowners can use their home equity to help bring meaningful projects and life goals within reach.

Our segment followed a growing family looking to create more functional space on their property. By leveraging the equity they had built in their home, they were able to fund the construction of a garage with a loft above it, complete with a bedroom and bathroom. The project not only expanded their living space but also created new possibilities for their family’s future.

Viewers also heard from Spring EQ CEO Joe Steffa, who discussed how home equity solutions can help homeowners access funds for renovations, home improvements, debt consolidation, and other major expenses without refinancing their existing mortgage.

The episode highlighted our commitment to providing homeowners with flexible home equity options and a streamlined borrowing experience designed to help them achieve their goals with confidence.

Home equity isn’t just a number on a balance sheet; it’s a tool that can empower homeowners and drive strategic growth. HousingWire’s Allison LaForgia sits down with Joe Steffa, CEO of Spring EQ, to explore the company’s vision and how it’s helping borrowers access their equity safely and strategically. Steffa breaks down the factors driving the surge in home equity in a safe and strategic manner. He delves into the factors driving the surge in home equity utilization and what lenders and borrowers need to know to succeed.

This conversation delves into common misconceptions about home equity loans and HELOCs, Spring EQ’s roadmap for the coming years, and practical advice for homeowners considering tapping into their equity. Steffa also provides insight into what lenders can expect in the evolving second mortgage landscape and the opportunities it presents for the market.
