NEXT and Housing Finance Strategies Announce #NEXTDC20

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Capitalizing on the success of their recent executive summit in Washington D.C., NEXT Mortgage Events and Housing Finance Strategies announced #NEXTDC20, their second annual event to be held shortly after the November 2020 election in Washington, D.C.

The inaugural #NEXTDC event was held on November 18-19, 2019 at the Kimpton Hotel Monaco in Washington, D.C.

"Executives in all three segments-policy, mortgage lending and fintech-raved about the value they got from meeting both peers and constituents at our inaugural event," said Faith Schwartz, founder of Housing Finance Strategies. "They were urging us to host an event in 2020 because in addition to quality intel, they got access to a cross-segment mix of high caliber influencers they can't find anywhere else."

Inaugural NEXT Excellence in Leadership Award Goes to Lee Raagas, CEO of Skid Row Housing Trust at NEXTDC19

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Ahead of the highly anticipated #NEXTDC19 summit on November 18, 19 in Washington, D.C., from NEXT Mortgage Events, conference co-host Faith Schwartz, President of Housing Finance Strategies, announced that Kerri Milam, president of Depth Public Relations will present the inaugural NEXT Excellence in Leadership award to Lee Raagas, Chief Executive Officer of Skid Row Housing Trust.

To be presented on November 18 at #NEXTDC19, the Excellence in Leadership award is given to the individual who inspires and delivers change to an underserved market in housing finance.

Faith Schwartz said, "Too often, as we debate huge issues like Housing Reform, we lose sight of what's most important - and that is as basic as a roof over our heads. The growing epidemic of homelessness challenges our hearts as well as our best and brightest minds. Lee Raagas of Skid Row Housing Trust stands out in leading innovative solutions and delivering housing to the homeless. We applaud her efforts and the success of Skid Row Housing Trust."

With over 20 years' experience in financial services, including the investment sector, distressed assets and housing/mortgage industries, Lee Raagas is leading transformative change at Skid Row Housing Trust with three new properties currently in development and an additional 21 projects under contract. These new developments will nearly double the Trust's existing 26 projects.

Skid Row Housing Trust, founded in 1989, provides permanent supportive housing so that people who have experienced homelessness, prolonged extreme poverty, poor health, disabilities, mental illness and/or addiction can lead safe, stable lives in wellness. By providing an integrated approach to housing, primary healthcare, mental health treatment, substance abuse treatment, and counseling, the Trust provides many of the tools needed to overcome the causes of homelessness.

"Housing affordability is a cornerstone of household stability and a platform for economic mobility," said Kerri Milam. "That is why the work Lee Raagas has undertaken with Skid Row Housing Trust accomplishes more than simply housing and serving the homeless - it is the work of delivering on our nation's promise of opportunity. I look forward to presenting her with the inaugural NEXT Excellence in Leadership Award."

The Excellence in Leadership award will be delivered to Raagas at #NEXTDC19, the first women's executive summit that brings together Washington policy makers, fintech luminaries, and mortgage lending executives, for a dedicated, ongoing conversation on housing policy's impact on mortgage lenders and fintech providers. The summit's sessions will focus on current policy as well as housing issues that could be impacted by the 2020 election.

"Having Craig Philips share his unique perspective on the nation's housing finance system, in an intimate small group setting, falls right in line #NEXTDC19's value proposition.

ReverseVision Voted ‘Best in Show’ by Attendees of NEXT Women’s Mortgage Event in February

EDMOND, Okla. /ScoopCloud/ -- NEXT Mortgage Events LLC, a creator of events for women mortgage executives, has announced that ReverseVision has been voted Best in Show for the live technology showcase at its February 2019 technology conference. This distinction is awarded to the technology showcase participant that presented the most compelling solution, as determined by attendee vote.

Designed to help senior borrowers, RVSA enables the lender to quickly and easily evaluate which loan product best suits the borrower's current and future financial goals.

Nearly 200 women executives attended the February NEXT mortgage event, which was held on February 7-8, 2019 at Hotel ZaZa in Dallas, Texas. Voting took place through the event's official mobile application.

"A lot of executives come to NEXT specifically to discover new technology," said Molly Dowdy, co-founder of NEXT. "ReverseVision showed how their technology can help open new revenue opportunities for mortgage lenders, and as the vote indicates, that really seemed to resonate with attendees. We congratulate the entire team at ReverseVision."

Two Tech Startups to Debut Technology at NEXT Mortgage Conference

DALLAS, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- EXT Mortgage Events LLC, creator of the only mortgage technology conference for women executives, has announced that startup tech firms ProxyPics and Zipwhip will debut their technology to the mortgage industry at the second biannual NEXT mortgage technology conference, which takes place on June 21-22, 2018 at Hotel ZaZa in Dallas.

ProxyPics, which was founded in 2017, will debut its first-of-its kind on-demand system for getting location-specific media you need, anytime, anywhere, on Friday, June 22, 2018 at 8 a.m. CT. Zipwhip will follow with a presentation at 8:10 a.m. CT. A Seattle-based SaaS company, Zipwhip is modernizing the business texting medium by enabling text messaging to existing landline, VoIP and toll-free phone numbers. Zipwhip pairs direct network connectivity with easy, cloud-based software, so businesses of any size can give customers the choice to "text or call" and handle two-way text conversations at scale.

"ProxyPics provides photos for property inspections much cheaper and about 90 percent faster than lenders and servicers are used to getting them," said Luke Tomaszewski, CEO of ProxyPics, which uses an Uber-esque business model to farm the job of securing photos to individuals living in working in local communities. "ProxyPics lets lenders and servicers go straight to the source to get photographs within minutes, rather than hours or days. The entire process improves, and benefits not only lenders, servicers and borrowers, but also countless independent workers in local communities."

Zipwhip leverages a different, albeit also ubiquitously familiar, tool to modernize and improve the mortgage process. "Most people use texting as a primary method of communication, yet most mortgage lenders fail to provide their customers with a familiar, easy and secure way to text with the individuals who are handling their loans," said Kelly Herman, account executive at Zipwhip. "Zipwhip standardizes texting protocol so that loan officers can stop texting from their personal lines, lenders can start keeping audit trails of conversations, and more borrowers can interact directly with their lenders in a way that feels not only much more familiar, but is also faster and more efficient for them."

NEXT's startup demo presentations will take place on Friday, June 22, 2018 in the Metropolitan Ballroom of Hotel ZaZa in Dallas. NEXT features educational sessions, a total of 11 technology demonstrations, and organized networking events which include a charity benefit cocktail mixer.

Tickets are still available. Attendees may register at: https://www.nextmortgageconference.com/.
