While 110 million Americans watched the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 7, 2016, mortgage brokers experienced a turning point, the origination game had changed.

A small group of forward-thinking brokers recognized the shift and understood the urgency to adapt tech.

In this session, Andrew Berman, CEO of National Mortgage Professional, sits down with Jonathon Haddad, Chairman/CEO, AIME, to explore how today’s most successful brokers are leveraging technology to thrive, regardless of where interest rates go next.

Everyone in the mortgage industry is wondering: what will the rise of Artificial Intelligence mean? There's no need to guess, since there's already one company that's been running on AI-powered systems since 2018. Sun West Mortgage's sister company, Celligence, created an AI underwriting and processing platform that Sun West has been using to power its company for the past five years. Underwriting is now measured in minutes, and processing tasks are primarily automated. This has allowed Sun West to make better loan decisions, expand credit to more communities, and free originators to spend more time building business rather than babysitting files. In the past year, Sun West has opened its system -- called Angel AI -- to the origination community at large, and backs loan decisions made by its system "100%" -- meaning that if an originator gets a green light from Angel AI, Sun West will commit to closing the loan, period. Don't miss this incredible session looking inside a large mortgage lender running its operations fully on artificial intelligence. The future is already here. So now the question is: what's next?

Some of the most thoughtful innovations in mortgage technology are coming from within the industry itself. In this session, we highlight leaders from lending organizations who identified gaps in their tech stacks and decided to build solutions tailored to their teams, their workflows, and their borrowers.

These tools weren’t built for the market at large — they were built to meet real needs inside real lending shops. Whether improving borrower experience, streamlining operations, or supporting originators more effectively, these platforms reflect a deep understanding of what mortgage professionals truly need.
