We recognized 100 mortgage companies and 100 real estate companies that are revolutionizing the way consumers buy and sell homes. We started the HW Tech100 in 2014 because we saw the potential for how technology could transform our industry, but even we couldn't have envisioned where we are now. The truth is, technology companies and their solutions were critical to success for companies battling it through an "unprecedented" 2020.
As HousingWire CEO Clayton Collins notes about the last year:
"Mortgage lenders developed new processes. They quickly implemented new technologies and trained team members. Real estate agents masked-up and reinvented open houses. Title agents mastered drive-by closings and reluctantly adopted online notary solutions. Appraisers implemented socially distanced and COVID-friendly inspection processes. Processors and underwriters figured out how to manage record-shattering origination volume while also juggling Zoom-school and other life pressures…
"As we observe, digest and analyze all of this activity, we can't help but surmise that all progress in 2020 was influenced or enabled in some way by technology."
Congratulations to all the companies we recognized! At the end of the day, the true winners are the consumers you helped who have found their part of the American Dream.
Today's episode focuses on the newly released HousingWire March magazine issue, which spotlights the digital revolution in housing and features the 2021 Mortgage and Real Estate Tech100 winners.
