Hi HousingWire readers,
"My business is not designed to make my competitors like me."
This quote from Mat Ishbia, CEO of United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM), really resonated with me this week. As we build the HW Media business, we're not out to become friends with leaders at competitive publications. We're going to compete as hard as we can to make HousingWire the dominant media brand in mortgage, real estate, appraisal and closing.
We relaunched our Mortgage Rates Center this week in partnership with our friends at UWM. In addition to mortgage rates updates from Freddie Mac, the Mortgage Bankers Association and our newsroom, we now have a mortgage broker search functionality embedded into the page. Please check it out and let me know your thoughts!

Home supply is at an all-time low, and demand is at an all-time high. Purchase volume will overtake refinance volume in 2021, and the competition for borrower loyalty is higher than ever. To successfully meet your borrowers' needs and stay ahead of the curve, it's critical to create the very best customer experience.
Adopting the right technology is the key to achieving this for successful lenders. From marketing tools to point of sale solutions to origination and servicing, lenders are surrounded by options. In this webinar, PRMG Chief Lending Officer Kevin Peranio will help attendees sort through it all as he shares the tech investments that have had the biggest impact on his business and created customers for life.
Digital adoption done the right way capitalizes on the advantages of digital solutions for lenders while also empowering consumers to benefit more from their financial data. But building an empowering experience for your customers doesn't happen overnight.
This guide will walk you through how you can build an empowering experience for borrowers and loan officers alike with tried-and-true digital adoption best practices. In the end, we hope you'll have a digital adoption process that has your customers and your competitors talking.
The staggering origination volume of 2020 was largely led by refinances. Most mortgage market forecasters are predicting that 2021 will be a purchase market. With many more touchpoints and players involved in a home purchase than a refi, lenders need to keep digitizing the entire mortgage process, including the closing.
Enter: eClosing. In this webinar, we'll provide the most current information on hybrid and full eNote eClosings, discuss the increases happening in eNote adoption, define the progression happening in eNotarization including RON, and discuss key criteria to successfully implementing your eClosing strategy.
For the past few years, low mortgage rates have fueled a housing market so hot that even a pandemic couldn't derail purchase originations. Record-breaking lending volumes led many lenders to tighten up their processes across every stage of the mortgage cycle.
