We're excited to announce the addition of Bill Conroy to the news team as he covers MSR sales, the secondary market and related beats.
Hey, HW readers!
Tracking MSR activity gives you an inside scoop on what lenders are thinking about and planning ahead for. There's just one problem: MSR sales are not easy to track. For example, did you know that smaller to midsize mortgage banks who retained servicing for the last 16 to 18 months went against expectations and aren't selling their MSRs at the volume they were projected to?
That's why HousingWire is excited to announce the addition of Senior Mortgage Reporter Bill Conroy to the news team as he covers MSR sales, the secondary market and related beats. His background includes working as the managing editor and then editor in chief of Scotsman Guide from 2015-2019. Throughout his career, Conroy has worked as a business journalist for weekly newspapers and magazines in five cities over several decades.
Since Conroy is focused on breaking down what's happening in the secondary market, a lot of his content will fall under our premium membership program HW+, which includes exclusive long-form, digital articles. Navigate the complex and perplexing secondary market by joining HW+ today to stay on top of Conroy's regular coverage.
Happy readings,
Brena Nath \\ HW+ Managing Editor
