One of the initiatives that’s really taken off within our network has been our Lender Networking Calls. We started doing them monthly earlier this year, then recently decided to increase them to once every two weeks based on increased participation and all the great topic ideas members were bringing to us. Some examples of topics we’ve discussed (or have scheduled to discuss) on these calls include …
​
  • Keys to successful technology implementations
  • Creating an infrastruture of seamless integrations
  • eMortgages and true eClosings
  • Truly implementing social media into your marketing plan
  • Effectively using Facebook/Twitter to grow your business
  • Creating an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
  • Simplifying and accelerating the home loan process
  • Best practices for LOS integrations
  • Incorporating mobile applications into your business
  • Cybersecurity threats lenders should be wary of

​We keep these calls simple. No more than 60 minutes long. Call in, follow along on WebEx, or both. Lenders only. Sometimes we have a subject matter expert, sometimes we don’t. One topic. Interaction, lender participation, and shared experiences and best practices heavily encouraged.

We have seven networking calls already scheduled for the next 75 days! Mark your calendars and encourage participation from any employees in your company that could benefit!

Congratulations to Axia Home Loans, which last week became an independent mortgage banking firm 100% owned by its employees! Axia's new Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) marks the next step in a continued effort to create an innovative and forward-thinking culture. Gellert Dornay, President & CEO, has been working diligently over the last year to establish the foundation upon which this new shift in ownership was built. 'Studies show that employee-owned companies experience increased employee satisfaction, retention, and productivity gains," Dornay said, adding, " an ESOP rewards employees who contribute to the company's success by allowing them to share in the company's future increase in value." Be a part of a company that invests heavily in its employees, clients, partners, and communities.

The Calm Before the Election - Housing Industry Preps For New Administration

9/8/2016

0 Comments

 
If you feel like you’ve missed out on the discussion of the future of the industry that directly contributes to 15-18% of the US economy, you actually haven’t missed anything. Despite an onslaught of debates, commercials, speeches, press conferences and cable news programs - there has been next to no discussion of the housing market this political season.

It’s easy to see why. Mortgage default rates are at historically low levels, Fannie and Freddie have turned into massive cash registers for the Federal Government, rates are still very low, and it’s looking as if 2016 will be the biggest year for total mortgage originations in a decade.

Despite conditions that haven’t forced discussions about our industry to the forefront, housing has never faced a more crucial 2-3 year period.

The bottom line is this - most of the reforms to our industry these past eight years were needed. But like many market/corrections, things swung a little too far the other way. And while Obama’s housing legacy was forced to be focused on reform, the next President will have a chance to retool an industry that is so vital to the health of the US economy and the quality of lives of Americans.

The housing industry is at a crossroads. The home ownership rate is at a 50-year low. Limited inventory, lenders still unwilling to underwrite to the edge of the credit box, and looming Fed rate hikes have made home affordability a challenge. The technology is evolving at insanely quick levels in the mortgage manufacturing process. Market share is shifting rapidly away from depositories towards independent mortgage bankers. There’s still far too much gray in the regulatory climate, with lenders pining for black and white. And of course Fannie & Freddie. Never more needed for our industry, yet still under the government thumb. With no easy solutions to get them out of conservatorship.

Buckle up.
