Any examination of the future of mortgage finance should be grounded in four key pillars: people, policy, technology and capital.
To commemorate the 40th anniversary of National Mortgage News, the editorial team interviewed veteran executives from throughout the industry, and asked them to identify the defining moments and trends of the past that will shape and influence the future.
Their insights reveal a strong correlation between collaboration and innovation. Whether in the ongoing efforts to promote diversity and inclusion, or in the increasingly intricate interactions between technology platforms, the mortgage industry’s greatest accomplishments will continue to be achieved through coordinated efforts to make complex transactions accessible and transparent to consumers.
Also critical to this discussion is the ever-increasing role regulatory compliance plays in the business strategies of lenders and servicers. Not only has the breadth of regulatory requirements expanded, but the scope of oversight has broadened as well. As a result, the stakes have never been higher for the industry to meet these obligations.
As lenders and servicers continue to adjust to the industry’s changing landscape, it is essential to remember the lessons learned from the past in order to put future developments in context.
After all, in a business as cyclical as mortgage lending, those lessons are often the most telling indicators of what’s to come.
