MMI adds video production tool to platform for loan originator promotion

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- Mobility Market Intelligence (MMI), a leader in data intelligence and market insight tools for the mortgage and real estate industries, today announced it has released LO Highlight Reels, an easy-to-use video creation tool for loan originators (LOs) looking for an eye-catching way to share their success and increase their visibility. With their LO Highlight Reel, an LO can generate a video reel summing up their last 12 months of loan production and then share their unique reel URL across their professional network.

The LO Highlight Reel tool supplies users with a customizable, mobile-friendly video featuring their own up-to-date production numbers, ensuring a visually pleasing, always current video. Once created, each LO's reel will continuously update with market data from the MMI platform to stay current, meaning it can always be safely shared without fear of the data falling out of date. Additionally, an LO can customize their attached profile to include their headshot, contact info, social links, relevant disclosures and even a call-to-action button. Beyond sharing the custom URL, LOs can also embed the video on their personal website.

"The LO Highlight Reels started as a way for MMI to show our clients what the numbers behind their past year looked like, but in a really visual and fun way. We debuted the reels at a couple of conferences last fall, and they were a huge hit. We were immediately inundated with requests from LOs who wanted to create the videos themselves and share them with their network and on social media," said MMI Founder and CEO Ben Teerlink. "We took that request and ran with it. Now, MMI users can create and share their own LO Highlight Reels whenever and wherever they please."

Sales Boomerang releases Q1 2023 Mortgage Market Opportunities Report

OWINGS MILLS, Md. /ScoopCloud/ -- TrustEngine(TM), a provider of data-driven homebuyer engagement and education solutions for lenders, today announced the release of Sales Boomerang's latest Mortgage Market Opportunities Report. The Q1 2023 report indicates quarter-over-quarter improvements across all indicators of mortgage readiness, representing growth in mortgage lending opportunities.

Methodology

The Mortgage Market Opportunities Report draws on Sales Boomerang system data to identify market opportunities of relevance to today's borrowers and lenders. To generate the report, Sales Boomerang reviewed data from more than 150 residential mortgage lenders, a subset of its clients, that use its borrower intelligence and retention tools to monitor millions of customer and prospect records. Sales Boomerang then calculated and compared the aggregate frequency with which those contact records triggered loan-opportunity, prescriptive-scenario and risk-and-retention alerts during the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023.

Key Findings**

Sales Boomerang's loan-opportunity alerts identify the contacts inside a lender's database who are actively shopping for a mortgage loan or who may be able to benefit from a new mortgage loan. Across the sample group, the frequency of each alert type in Q1 2023 was as follows:

* Mortgage Inquiry Alert: 2.10% of monitored contacts (up 32.91% from Q4)

A customer or prospect has shopped with a competitor in the last 24 hours.

* EPO Alert: 1.07% of monitored contacts (up 32.01% from Q4)

A customer or prospect whose loan closed ≤ 6 months ago has shopped with a competitor in the last 24 hours.

* Credit Improvement Alert: 4.73% of monitored contacts (up 18.25% from Q4)

A customer or prospect has improved their FICO score.

* New Listing Alert: 0.61% of monitored contacts (up 17.31% from Q4)

A customer or prospect has listed their home for sale.

* Equity Alert: 5.62% of monitored contacts (up 86.71% from Q4)

A customer or prospect's home equity has increased.

* Rate Alert: 0.10% of monitored contacts (up 92.00% from Q4)

The interest rate of a customer or prospect's existing mortgage is significantly higher than current prevailing rates.

Sales Boomerang's prescriptive-scenario alerts analyze not only whether a consumer could benefit from a given loan type, but also whether the consumer is credit-qualified to apply for financing. The frequency of each alert during Q1 2023 was as follows:

* Cash-Out Alert: 2.77% of monitored contacts (up 33.82% from Q4)

A borrower is credit qualified and has built sufficient equity to tap into the cash in their home.

* Rate-and-Term Alert: 0.11% of monitored contacts (up 120.00% from Q4)

A borrower is credit qualified and can benefit from the current interest rates for a refinance.

* FHA MI Removal Alert: 2.49% of monitored contacts (up 20.29% from Q4)

An FHA borrower has exceeded 20% equity and can remove mortgage insurance (MI).

For a subset of lenders that maintain servicing portfolios, the frequency of risk-and-retention alerts was as follows:

* Risk & Retention Alert: 36.84% of monitored contacts (down 15.23% from Q4)

A customer is engaging in one or more of 15 credit activities that may put their serviced loan at risk.

Analysis**

* Alerts went up across the board, indicating increased quarter-over-quarter loan opportunities with consumers who are actively engaged in the mortgage market as well as with consumers who may not yet realize they've recently become eligible for a mortgage based on available interest rates or improvements to their equity or credit positions.

* Risk and Retention Alerts trended down for the first time since Q2 of last year as the pace of month-over-month credit card debt growth eased slightly in February. However, with per-household consumer debt at an all-time high, there are still plenty of borrowers who could benefit from refinancing to pay off high-interest debts and improve monthly cash flow - a strategy that also benefits lenders by improving the overall health of servicing portfolios..

* For the first time in months, rate-related opportunities saw significant quarter-over-quarter improvement, reflecting a nearly 1% drop in the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate from its 20-year high of 7.08% in November 2022 to its Q1 2023 low of 6.09% in February. This is the first time the frequency of Rate alerts has increased since Q2 2021 and the first improvement for Rate-and-Term Alerts since Q4 2021.

* Equity Alerts, which indicate a borrower's property value has increased, rose substantially over the previous quarter, though they were triggered on a small share of contacts overall. When viewed alongside Zillow data showing a slight quarter-over-quarter decline in average national home value of 0.4%, the increase in Equity Alerts reflects how home value trends differ by market.

"The Q1 2023 MMO Report pulled the curtain on an outstanding variety of mortgage opportunities available to lenders ready to duck and weave with a fast-moving market," said TrustEngine Chief Marketing and Visionary Officer Alex Kutsishin. "Sales Boomerang continuously monitors customer and market data, alerting lenders when there is a chance to knock down financing obstacles for borrowers. Mortgage Coach helps lenders follow through with Total Cost Analysis presentations that map out the best path forward."

Berry Tastes and Treats at 37th Annual California Strawberry Festival

VENTURA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The 37th Annual California Strawberry Festival makes its debut at the Ventura County Fairgrounds Saturday and Sunday, May 20 and 21 with strawberry-themed food, beverages and contests, live entertainment, rides and activities. This year marks the first time the festival is being held at the fairgrounds (10 W. Harbor Blvd., Ventura, CA 93001). Hours are 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. both days.

For strawberry lovers, the California Strawberry Festival is two days of strawberry heaven. Over 50 food and beverage vendors will serve such treats as strawberry pies, strawberry-topped funnel cakes, strawberry nachos, deep-fried strawberries, berry kabobs, strawberry tacos, strawberry beer and smoothies. Festivalgoers can build their own strawberry shortcakes, piling on as many strawberries and whipped cream as possible.

Nearly 50,000 people are expected to attend the festival over two days, many coming from Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Riverside and Orange counties. An estimated 1.5 million strawberries will be consumed over the two-day festival. Strawberries are the number one crop in Ventura County. Strawberries grown in the Oxnard Plain are considered by many to be the best-tasting and juiciest in the world. For festivalgoers who want to take a bit of the festival home, Ventura County family-owned farms will be selling fresh-picked, vine-ripened strawberries at the festival in 3-packs, half trays and full trays.

On two stages, 24 bands offering reggae, Latin, rock, country, and R&B music will perform. Popular LA-based reggae artist, Arise Roots, will take the stage at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday afternoon. In the festival's Strawberryland, kids can enjoy science and magic shows on the Jest in Time Family Fun Stage presented by Wonderfold.

The stage will also be the site of the Berry Baby Fashion Parade presented by SoCalFord at 2 p.m. both days. Kids from infants to four years of age can show off their strawberry-themed costumes from stage (with the help of their parents). There is also a Strawberry Tart Toss and a Ninja National obstacle course.

The California Strawberry Festival features more than 200 artisans from throughout the West who will showcase their goods. Many of the artists and crafters have been coming to the festival for years.

"Festivals allow shoppers to get an up-close look at items before buying. They can talk with the artisans to learn more about their work. It's an experience that you don't have when shopping online," says Dana Hale-Mounier, director of Pacific Fine Arts Festivals and coordinator of the festival's arts and craft booths.

"We are looking forward to providing a comfortable festivalgoer experience--a rain or shine venue with three food courts, indoor space for our artists and crafters, indoor and outdoor dining areas, paved parking on site, an Amtrak Station across the street, close proximity to the 101 Freeway, and easy access to free shuttles," says Dean Kato, festival chair.

Through the California Strawberry Festival, participating nonprofit organizations have raised over $5 million.

"Our goal has always been to create a celebration in honor of the strawberries that grow prolifically throughout our rich agricultural region and to support other nonprofits within our community," says Kato. "Our all-volunteer board is dedicated to providing a wonderful two-day experience for festivalgoers."

General admission is $15. For active military and their dependents with ID and seniors 62 years and older, admission is $10 and for ages 5 to 12, admission is $8. Children 4 and under are free. Tickets can be purchased in advance at https://castrawberryfestival.org/ or upon entry to the festival.

Black Writers Workspace Cultivates the Art of Writing During Upcoming Virtual Workshop

NEW ORLEANS, La. /ScoopCloud/ -- Three times self-published author and entrepreneur Michelle Jackson had no idea starting a private Facebook group would change her life. In March 2020, inspired by COVID's unexpected stay-at-home orders and civil unrest caused by the murder of George Floyd, Jackson took to social media to connect with writers of color and to find resources on how to market a book without leaving the confines of her home. To her surprise, thousands of black authors were facing the same hurdle and looking to collaborate with other like-minded artists. And so, the Black Writers Workspace (BWW) online community was born.

BWW has grown to over 15,000 followers in three years, hosting over 100 author interviews and virtual roundtable discussions, four book fairs, four writing competitions, and a writer's workshop. Also, the community has inspired the launch of a new business venture, Direct2Author.com, an online independent book marketing and writing service platform developed by Jackson to help authors build their fan base with effective and low-cost book marketing tools.

"Over a million books are published each year, making the book marketing journey more competitive and crucial to the success of a publication," said Jackson. "BWW was created to provide a positive space where writers can share resources and get the help they need to publish great works of art."

In a move to expand the BWW brand and help writers of color succeed, the community will host the BLK INK Virtual Writer's Workshop on May 18-20, 2023, via Zoom. This year's theme is 'Straight FIRE! Writing to Inspire a New Generation of Readers.' The event is designed to educate aspiring, new, and experienced writers about practical tools and techniques for navigating the world of book writing and publishing.

The speaker roster includes Alex Jennings, a New Orleans-based award-winning fantasy writer and instructor of popular fiction at the University of Southern Maine; Jane Friedman, author, co-founder of The Hot Sheet and a columnist with Publishers Weekly; Diane Marie Brown, professor at Orange Coast College and author of the debut novel, Black Candle Women, a Read with Jenna Bush Book Club selection that is currently being adapted for television and Dr. Mona Lisa Saloy, professor at Dillard University and Louisiana's newest Poet Laureate.

Hour-long sessions will tackle topics like 'Land a Deal in 2023,' 'Put it in an (Audio) Book,' and 'Writing Fantasy & Sci-Fi.' During the event week, writers can also participate in a one-on-one manuscript review session with professional editors with Speak Write Play LLC, a New Jersey-based English Language and Editing Service.

"BWW benefits when experienced writers share their pathway to success with us. Collaboration is key to nurturing a vibrant and diverse literary community,' said Jackson. "We invite everyone to join us for the BLK INK workshop. Our goal is to nurture the next great writer."

The event is open to all writers, regardless of race, religion, sex, and sexuality. It will take place via Zoom over three days, starting Thursday, May 18th, and ending Saturday, May 20th. Attendees can pay one fee for all three days or pay per day. College students can attend for free when they register with a .edu email address.

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Pap Corps Champions for Cancer Research is delighted to announce that the third Sylvester Game Changer vehicle was officially revealed during the Presidents' Meeting at Boca West Country Club on April 13, 2023. The 70-year-old nonprofit funded the creation of this air-conditioned vehicle, in partnership with Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of UHealth - University of Miami Health System, to bring cancer screenings and education to the underserved communities in Broward and Palm Beach counties.

"The Pap Corps' 2019 Dr. Kevin Berkowitz End of Year Giving Campaign provided $500,000 for the creation of the third Sylvester Game Changer vehicle," stated Susan Dinter, Chair, The Pap Corps. "While our organization typically funds cancer research, we firmly believe early detection leads to more successful cancer outcomes. We are very proud that the Sylvester Game Changer vehicle will be offering free cancer screenings and education to thousands of people every year."

The third Sylvester Game Changer vehicle, which is the largest-to-date, is co-branded with logos of both The Pap Corps and Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center to further expand awareness about the special relationship between the nonprofit and South Florida's only NCI-designated cancer center. The converted tractor freightliner is equipped with two private rooms for consultations, a full phlebotomy area, and a multimedia area for interactive education about cancer-related topics. The vehicles all feature artistically designed exteriors by world-renowned Neo-Pop artist Peter Tunney.

"We are honored that The Pap Corps partnered with us on this important initiative," said Dr. Erin Kobetz, Ph.D., M.P.H., associate director of population science and cancer disparities at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. "Since its launch in 2017, the Sylvester Game Changer vehicles have served over 42,000 people in the community, and have been closing gaps in accessing cancer education, screenings, while breaking down historical skepticism about research. With this third vehicle, we will be expanding our presence and working alongside even more communities to address and eliminate cancer disparities."

"We are honored to showcase our Sylvester Game Changer vehicle at this Presidents Meeting, stated Sally Berenzweig, CEO, The Pap Corps. "Our Pap Corps members worked diligently to support the creation of this Game Changer vehicle and are thrilled for the opportunity for this preview."

Since its founding in 1952, The Pap Corps, a 501(c)(3), has donated more than $110 million to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, including a historic $50 million pledge in 2016. The Pap Corps derives its name from Dr. George Papanicolaou, a pioneer in cytopathology and early cancer detection, who introduced the world to the revolutionary 'Pap' test. A small group of women began the organization to support his efforts, and over the decades it has grown into an organization of over 20,000 men and women, in over 50 chapters, raising funds to support research for all types of cancers.

Kelly Roofing Goes Global With First International Tesla Solar Roof

NAPLES, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Kelly Roofing has completed the first-ever international Tesla Solar Roof installation, marking a significant milestone in green energy innovation. The Florida-based company managed negotiations, logistics, and operations to extend its services into the international field, starting on the island of Nevis in the West Indies. This installation has opened up worldwide possibilities for the next steps in solar roofing installations for Kelly Roofing.

"This job is the pay off of years of work and innovation, it's incredible to watch it come to life," said Kelly Roofing President Ken Kelly. "Our team has been working with Tesla on building the solar roof deployment process from the ground up since they began developing it in 2019. Roofing innovation is what we do. It's what we've been known for for the last fifty years at Kelly Roofing. This client, and this job have brought us to a new level and let us begin to really see the fruit of that labor."

Installing a Tesla Solar Roof internationally required an intricate, multi-faceted, and carefully honed system to complete. Kelly Roofing worked with the customer to understand their goals and negotiated a general price for the raw job. They then navigated duty and tariffs, shipping fees, customs fees, holding fees, and transportation fees. The company's prior experience in these logistics laid the groundwork for the job in Nevis and made the job seamless for the customer.

"We had the advantage of having solid shipping partners in place and a tested process, it was a matter of fitting the pieces together strategically for what this client needed," Ken Said.

The Kelly Roofing team's extensive experience in navigating Florida's stringent roofing codes allowed them to navigate the legal hurdles of Nevis's roofing regulations. The team also partnered with a local contracting team to ease relations with the government and the local community, providing on-the-job training and bringing the job to life.

The Tesla system is unique in its durability and innovation as well. It is connected to an app that is designed to be intuitive for the homeowner, helping control power consumption and usage. The roofs are also designed to last over time, making them hurricane-force-wind resistant and impact resistant to hail. Each tile is independent, allowing for expansion and contraction in extreme temperatures.

"The Tesla system gives peace of mind to our clients. We saw roofs come out of Hurricane Ian basically untouched and the Powerwall system kept up. There were entire blocks where neighbors were charging their phones at the only house with a Tesla Solar Roof because no one else had power," Ken added.

For the homeowner, the Tesla Solar Roof came with a host of benefits, including ease of use and unmatched durability that provide an excellent return on their investment. In Nevis, the homeowner was able to take their home off-grid without interfering with the quality of their day-to-day life.

Kelly Roofing is now vetting and accepting new international Tesla Solar Roof jobs and is thankful and honored to have been a part of building this customer's home.

Domaine Carneros Celebrates Sustainability for Earth Day 2023 – PowerFlex Microgrid represents Next Generation of Solar Power

NAPA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Earth Day 2023 brings a vibrant green to the terrain and vineyards of Domaine Carneros as the 2022-23 winter rains have provided much needed relief from the past five years of draught in California. 2023 will mark a significant advance in the winery's record of sustainability when a new solar microgrid and battery system comes online, providing the winery over 75% energy independence. Since its founding in 1987, Domaine Carneros has put sustainability initiatives at the forefront of their daily practices, consistently working to minimize their environmental impact as true stewards of the land.

The intention at Domaine Carneros is to create the best wines and most memorable sparkling wine experiences through healthy land, vines, and people. For the 36 years since its founding, Domaine Carneros has pushed the sustainability envelope to ensure that the winery lives as lightly on the land as possible while producing excellent grapes, and, of course, wine. In pursuit of the highest standards, Domaine Carneros has sought and received certifications from numerous prestigious sustainable organizations. Annual assessments and audits seek out new areas to improve upon rigorous standards of sustainability not only for the winery, but also for its place in the community and as an employer.

The winery implements the following measures towards continuous improvement:

Re-use and recycling

* Through composting, recycling, and reuse, over 90% of solid waste is diverted from landfills.

* Water used in the production process is recycled and used to irrigate the estate vineyards.

* A decade-long packaging reuse program, whereby 20-25% of cases and inserts are reused for in-house purposes.

Sustainability Practices

* Solar energy has long been a crucial aspect of Domaine Carneros' sustainability plan, having installed the largest solar collection system of any winery in the world when it was implemented in 2003. In 2023, Domaine Carneros will be among the first wineries in the Napa Valley to install a solar microgrid and battery system, which will supply 75% of the winery's power, and ultimately allow the winery to be self-sustaining during power outages.

* The winery's use of skylights, building into the earth, and employing night cooling systems to maintain cellar temperatures all contribute to energy conservation as well as robust employee involvement in daily conservation efforts.

* The winery practices Integrated Pest Management using natural controls for vineyard pests such as boxes to attract owls which feed on voles and using cover crops that attract beneficial insects to control insect pests.

* Grape pomace from harvest is used to feed local cattle in a region of California with historic ties to the dairy business.

Commitment to Employees

* The winery has strong principles of diversity, equity and inclusion, and its staff is reflective of that commitment.

* The winery practices open book management, inspiring all employees to be a part of a collective success.

* The winery fosters and encourages mentorship for its staff and embraces professional development beyond the team in the form of scholarship offerings and a fellowship.

The winery has been awarded several prestigious honors from the state of California and other well-respected organizations. In April 2023, the winery received the RISE Leadership Award for outstanding waste prevention and greening of its supply chain. In 2020, the winery received the Napa Climate NOW! award for being a Climate Champion in the Business Category. The winery also received the California Green Medal Business Award in 2019 for "demonstrating smart business through efficiencies, cost savings, and innovation from implementing sustainable practices." Only four wineries are awarded the medal each year, so the honor is quite significant given the number of wineries in the state.

Domaine Carneros has been a Bay Area Green Business since 2014, Fish Friendly Farming certified since 2015, Napa Green Land & Winery since 2014 and Certified California Sustainable Winegrowing since 2015.

Looking towards the future, CEO Remi Cohen reiterated the foundations of the winery's philosophy which she is carrying forward, "Domaine Carneros has always been a leader in thoughtful winemaking and vineyard management, looking towards furthering our sustainability practices and initiatives. As we meet new climate challenges, the winery will always look to be a leader with a light footprint as well as a strong investment in the future of its team and the industry."

ABOUT DOMAINE CARNEROS:

Founded in 1987, Domaine Carneros reflects the hallmark of its founder, Champagne Taittinger, in creating a vision of terroir-driven sparkling wine and preserving the quality tenets of the methode traditionelle of sparkling wine production. Located entirely within the Carneros AVA, between Napa and Sonoma counties, the six estate vineyards total approximately 400 acres with 150 acres planted to chardonnay, and 250 acres planted to pinot noir. The winery focuses on making ultra-premium Carneros sparkling wines largely estate grown and limited production pinot noirs.

HBCU Green Fund Atlanta University Fellows Spend Spring Break Planting Trees in a Rural African Village to Fight Climate Change

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- A group of HBCU Green Fund Fellows from Atlanta University Center recently dedicated their spring break embedded in an African village on the border of Senegal and Mauritania building a tree shelter, planting trees and digging a well in their ongoing efforts to help the vulnerable communities that are most impacted by the effects of climate change, but contribute the least. The climate advocates spent a full week without Internet, TV and phone service to help mitigate the devastating effects of global warming.

The inaugural HBCU Green Fund Eco Spring Break Service-Learning program at REDES Ecovillages connects students, faculty and alumni from Black colleges including Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse and Spelman Colleges in Atlanta, GA, with students and faculty from Cheik Ante Diop University in Dakar Senegal. With over 100 villages in Senegal and Mauritania, REDES Ecovillages helps traditional communities become ecovillages by blending deep-rooted culture with modern ecological and community-building methods. The program gives students an opportunity to help with the climate crisis, and also learn innovative solutions the Africans have implemented.

"I'm so proud of these young leaders who put down their social media to live for a week with families in a rural village where electricity, water and food were extremely limited. It was a game changer for young professionals who consider themselves to be climate justice advocates," said Felicia Davis, founder of HBCU Green Fund. "The experience provided the volunteers with a deeper understanding of climate change, food waste, plastic pollution, and the devastating impact of wasteful western habits on distant communities along with an opportunity to make a real and tangible difference."

Davis adds, "We gain as much or more than we give, it is powerful to function as a part of nature, as a steward seeking ecological restoration and balance. With a small donation the HBCU Green Fund financed construction of a shelter for tree saplings and a well that women farmers requested so they don't have to walk all the way to the river and back for water."

The Eco Spring Break Service-Learning program is one of several initiatives the HBCU Green Fund sponsors as they cultivate relationships with local communities in the U.S., Africa and throughout the African Diaspora to promote conservation, renewable energy, and sustainable agriculture and development. The group currently has ongoing projects in 14 countries in Africa, including Ghana and Tanzania, two of the countries Vice President Harris recently visited and declared climate change an "existential threat to the entire planet."

"It was a life-changing experience," adds Serena Echols, an HBCU Green Fund Fellow and senior environmental science major at Spelman College. "We lived with host families sleeping on the floor just as they do. Our days consisted of working on various projects to help transform the villages of the Sahel. We also learned to milk a cow or a goat and planted more than 100 trees."

"When we returned to the U.S. and heard Vice President Harris' call to action it reinforced our commitment to fighting for climate justice and made us feel like we were playing a personal role in the mission to address the climate crisis in Africa," adds Echols.

About the HBCU Green Fund:

Based in Washington, DC and Atlanta, the HBCU Green Fund (hbcugreenfund.org) is a non-profit, nonpartisan organization working with historically black colleges and universities in the U.S. and abroad to advance sustainability, promote student engagement in green initiatives, and train the next generation of global green leaders. The organization's Atlanta University Center Clean Energy Fellows Program introduces students to career opportunities in the clean energy sector and connects students with Black entrepreneurs that provide training in renewable energy technologies. The HBCU Green Fund partnered the Harambee House/Citizens for Environmental Justice (HH/CFEJ) to lead a delegation of 27 persons from the United States and Africa to participate in COP27 in Egypt last November and are planning to take a delegation to to COP28 in Dubai in November of this year.

Richmond SPCA to Benefit from Auction of Landmark Virginia Manor House on Nearly 400 Acres

ST. STEPHENS CHURCH, Va. /ScoopCloud/ -- Anchored by a 200-year-old manor house surrounded by nearly 400 acres, this historic Virginia estate known as Holly Hill is now truly going to the dogs - and to the cats, rabbits, and many other creatures whose well-being the Richmond SPCA champions and helps safeguard. Thanks to a generous benefactor, the proceeds from the sale of this estate, which is on both the National Register of Historic Places and Virginia Landmarks register, will benefit the local animal welfare non-profit, according to auction firm, Tranzon Fox.

Creatures of both the four- and two-legged varieties will find much to enjoy about life at Holly Hill, including carefully-kept grounds with formal gardens, horse stables with a two-level apartment, fenced pasture land, approximately 136 tillable acres, significant frontage on the Mattaponi River, two ponds, recreational land, and numerous outbuildings.

"This is the fourth property we've auctioned for the benefit of the Richmond SPCA, and of those, Holly Hill is the most expansive and historic," said Bill Londrey, managing partner of Tranzon Fox. "These sales that benefit charities are always some of the most rewarding work we do, so I would encourage anyone seeking a personal or corporate retreat, or a pastoral location for a wedding/events venue or B&B, to visit our website to learn more.

"The auction will take place live and on-site at the property on April 26, 2023, and while there are a couple of opportunities to see the property beforehand, to gain access to the estate, prospective bidders will need to comply with the terms set by the executor. So, I'd say don't wait too long. This property hasn't been on the market in decades, and who knows when you'll have a chance again to buy it."

MCT AOT Automation Improves Mortgage Lender Profitability and Investor Efficiency

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT®), a leading mortgage hedge advisory and secondary marketing software firm, announced that it has automated the process of digital TBA trade assignment during the loan sale process for both mortgage lenders and participating correspondent investors. This automation makes assignment of trade loan sales (AOTs) faster, more convenient, and easier for investors to offer, and is expected to further expand on the $19.5 million in cumulative savings experienced by MCT's lender clients as a result of AOTs in 2022.

"During a time of extreme pressure on profit margins industry-wide, we're proud of the impact AOT automation has had for our lender and investor clients," shared Justin Grant, Senior Director, Head of Investor Services at MCT. "Based on our conversations with investors who offer AOTs, we estimate MCT lenders represent around ninety percent of AOT executions in the market today."

AOTs are an increasingly popular industry practice that involves three counterparties - mortgage originator, mortgage investor, and broker dealer - transferring loan collateral and hedge positions to a mortgage investor and executing a tri-party agreement. While the AOT process has been automated for MCT mortgage originators for several years, recent improvements to the functionality have automated the process for participating correspondent investors with support from an integration with Agile's TBA platform.

"As a mortgage investor, Village Capital is always looking for ways to integrate technology to improve the price and efficiency for our approved lenders," said Brandon Knudson, VP of National Correspondent Sales at Village Capital. "Full automation of the AOT process allows us to pass along improved execution to our customers as well as improve the efficiency of processing the AOTs. Since everyone is using the same database of record, it greatly reduces any potential errors and speeds up the process of acceptance."

AOTs enable mortgage lenders to save the bid-offer spread on the to-be-announced mortgage-backed securities (TBAs) used to hedge their open mortgage pipeline. Due to market volatility these bid-offer spreads have been historically wide, averaging 11.3 basis points in 2022. Participating MCT lenders saved an average of $97,538 each through AOTs in 2022.

MCT's Investor Services division offers a comprehensive suite of tools for correspondent investors, including AOT automation and support developing new AOT delivery channels. MCT's AutoBid bid tape pricer automates the process of pricing bid tapes and accepting commitments, while Investor Analytics features unique reporting and visualizations designed to optimize investor pricing and build market share. More AOT channels and sharper investor pricing directly benefits MCT's lender clients and allows investors to improve their market share without lowering margins. Contact MCT to learn more about AOT strategy for lenders and investors.

Founded in 2001, Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT) has grown from a boutique mortgage pipeline hedging firm into the industry's leading provider of fully integrated capital markets services and technology.

"With our new Custom Dashboard Hub, users can tap into MMI's deep well of mortgage and real estate data in a faster, more visual format," said MMI founder and CEO Ben Teerlink. "And with an ever-increasing amount of granularity of data, MMI clients have access to competitive analyses and insights of greater specificity and accuracy than ever before."

The expanded dashboard capabilities will allow users to:

* Analyze the market to find hidden pockets of opportunity and gain a competitive advantage at a local market level;

* Delve deeper into their organization's existing data to uncover hidden trends;

* Align sales strategies with overall business goals, including affordable lending initiatives;

* Determine where to adjust pricing to maximize performance in a particular metropolitan statistical area (MSA);

* Develop business development and/or operational strategies using current market data to stay ahead of the curve;

* Recruit using up-to-date production metrics;

* Provide quantitative feedback on loan originator (LO) performance; and

* Identify top overall growth opportunities.

Furthermore, market analysis tools allow users to locate and track high-performance real estate and mortgage markets in their area and show nationwide trends. Up-to-date benchmark statistics enable LOs to quickly compare their performance to their peers nationally and locally. Users can manipulate criteria and filter data on their own - from county to loan type and more - to quickly visualize results relevant to their business. MMI is constantly developing new dashboards in response to the mortgage industry's needs and continuous user feedback and requirements.

"I've found MMI to be beyond insightful in providing data to expand market share and capture new referral partners and recruiting targets," said John Meussner, Production Manager at Mason-McDuffie Mortgage. "With the granular data provided through MMI's updated dashboards, I can focus on targets with whom I know I'll achieve a high success rate, making my efforts more efficient. Best of all, MMI allows me to put more time toward other money-saving activities."

"Enterprise mortgage companies no longer need to feel compelled to purchase and manage their own BI tools," continued Teerlink. "Instead, they can opt to work with MMI to compile the data they need within their own custom dashboard(s). The Custom Dashboard Hub is a one-stop shop for lenders and LOs looking to supercharge their existing BI."

IMPACT AZ 2025 Kicks Off Arizona’s Largest Supplier Diversity Readiness Program with More Than 50 Black-owned Businesses

PHOENIX, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- Setting the stage for dramatic change among Black-owned Arizona businesses, IMPACT AZ 2025 is kicking off its supplier diversity readiness program to close the racial wealth gap for business owners through a three-year supplier diversity readiness program, Thinkzilla Consulting Group announced today.

The program offers a hybrid of an online curriculum through an interactive e-learning platform with in-person sessions, mentorship and live business coaching. Additionally, business owners a strategic action growth plan with benchmarks and performance targets to access the support and resources necessary to win contracts. The first cohort launches April 24, 2023, in Scottsdale, Arizona, with a full-day business assessment and welcome remarks from major community stakeholders.

The Millionaire Mastermind Academy, a leading nonprofit organization that has helped more than 8,000 diverse women entrepreneurs across the country while addressing barriers to economic mobility, will execute the Impact AZ 2025 programming in partnership with the Black Chamber of Arizona in response to the State of Black Business Report, which highlighted financial gaps and opportunities for diverse business owners.

The solutions-driven accelerator program will expand procurement opportunities with corporations and government entities, preparing business owners to win contracts. Fortune 500 companies spend about 2% annually on minority-owned suppliers, well short of the 10-15% spending goals many corporations set each year, leading to significant improvement opportunities for traditional supplier diversity approaches.

"We are thrilled to be a part of moving the great state of Arizona forward," said Dr. Velma Trayham, founder of the Millionaire Mastermind Academy. "More than 50 local businesses now have access to opportunities and resources that will create job opportunities and economic impact. I look forward to helping more than 250 companies get access to contracting readiness and opportunities. We are incredibly grateful to our sponsors, technical assistance partners, mentors and advisors for making this program possible."

JPMorgan Chase is the title sponsor for IMPACT AZ 2025, with additional sponsorship from Arizona Public Service, Salt River Project, Via West Group, American Landmark Apartments, and community partners such as Greater Phoenix Economic Council, the City of Phoenix, the Arizona Informant, Commerce Bank AZ, Growth Partners Arizona, AIANNH Project NABEDC, operated by the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation and SCORE.

"Impact AZ 2025 is groundbreaking for its size and focus on Black entrepreneurs, with clearly measurable metrics focused on advancing Black-owned businesses from solopreneurship to employer-based companies that surpass the $1 million revenue threshold," said Robin Reed, CEO of the Black Chamber of Arizona. "Using data from the State of Black Business report, Impact AZ addresses the most urgent needs for Black-owned businesses today."

The Millionaire Mastermind Academy's Scottsdale office at Arizona State University's Skysong 3 will provide a physical space for entrepreneurs to meet with mentors and corporations as part of the program, which includes three nine-month accelerators. The space will also support collaboration, networking opportunities and round table discussions for business growth.

"JPMorgan Chase is profoundly committed to supporting programs that help close the racial wealth gap and uplifting our Black business and entrepreneurial community is key to achieving that goal," said Ashley Kelly, Senior Business Consultant for Chase in Arizona. "This program will deliver expertise and support to help participants scale and grow their businesses in a sustainable manner. I'm very excited about supporting this collaboration."

"This market cannot fully reach its potential while there are segments of our population underrepresented in high-wage occupations or unable to receive the requisite capital to support innovative business," said Chris Camacho, President and CEO of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council. "This initiative takes a critical step in addressing this disparity, with an actionable, solution-driven approach to leveraging regional connections to support Black-owned suppliers and businesses."

Fifty-two Arizona businesses have been accepted into the program, including:

1st Infinity Realty, LLC | 1st Step to Greatness Childcare and Learning Center | Advanced Professional Security | Agape Mortgage Group | All Are Heard Translation/Notary Service | Alla Herbs | Alyrik's Castle | Artastic Art | Beep Beep Interlock | Bri Bucks Coaching and Credit | Bridge Consulting Service, LLC | Broom Bush Tea Co. | Buddhalovmobile | Business Credit Works | Chanel Your Stylist | Citrines, LLC | Coco B Cares | Connect Consulting Solutions DNA Lifestyles, LLC | Down Syndrome Forgotten| Education FIRM, LLC | Essential IV Drip | Finance Therapy Group | Heal Me Fit | Healing Hands | Oasis Wellness Center & Apothecary, LLC | i see water LLC | Inquisicare | Jenga Haus | Kings Glow LLC| LifeologyAZ, Inc.| Lion Eye Design, LLC | Lionsmanseamoss | Live Like You Coaching, LLC | Ms. Martha's Caribbean Kitchen LLC | N-Ovate Business Solutions, LLC | PhillipRobert LLC | Phoenix Play Dates and Field Trips | Phoenix's Favorite Commercial Cleaner | Phree Tha Truth | Radiant Sky Wellness Center | Risome | Simply Celeste's | Sweeping Broom | The Outlandish Blueprint | Top Onyx LLC | TRUE CONFESSION | Vision World LLC | W3AVING W3BS | Yhorlife Inc | Zion Institute.

"This curriculum provides an opportunity for us to improve the tracking, synthesis and socialization of the actionable data for a paradigm shift in Black business owners' generational health and wealth," said Teniqua Broughton, Executive Director for The State of Black Arizona says. "I am pleased to see this collaboration taking a data-driven approach to finding solutions within our Black business ecosystem in our state for wealth building."

California Cannabis Corridor video, hosted by Vista City Council Member, takes viewers on tour of city’s successful recreational and medical cannabis industry

VISTA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- A new GuideMe.Tours video premieres April 15 that takes a "behind-the-doors" look at five of Vista, California's successful cannabis dispensaries and the positive impact the new industry is making in the North County town. The California Cannabis Corridor™ is an informative and heartfelt look at how dispensary community is making an impact on peoples' lives.

The film features Vista Council Member Joe Green as the host and tour guide. A trailer for the film is available today at http://CCCTheMovie.com/.

Green was elected in 2016 and championed the citizens' initiative Measure Z which was passed by Vista voters in 2018 to allow legal cannabis dispensaries. Green believes the film is an important step towards dispelling any remaining myths about the safe and legal operation of cannabis dispensaries.

"Each of our 11 dispensaries is helping to revitalize several areas of our community, and are providing safe, reliable access to medical and recreational cannabis in comfortable and friendly environments. The industry has evolved into treating everything from insomnia, PTSD and other mental health conditions to relief from aching joints and gluten intolerance," says Green.

Prior to legalizing cannabis in 2018, the City of Vista spent more than $1 million per year combatting 21 illegal retail dispensaries. "Measure Z has been 100 percent effective in removing the illegal cannabis trade from our city while becoming a tremendous community benefit contrary to sceptics' concerns," adds Green.

The city estimates the dispensaries will generate $9 million in tax revenues in the 2023-24 fiscal year which will support programs for homeless relief, health clinics, community events and new parks.

The film captures Green's passionate personality as he interviews dispensary operators from Off The Charts, Tradecraft Farms, Coastal Cannabis, Wellgreens and Hello Cannabis.

About the production:

California Cannabis Corridor™ is produced in collaboration with A Different Day Radio, Star Fox Media and HPC.Media under the GuideMe.Tours collaborative. GuideMe.Tours produces video and audio podcast tours, including Vista's Pioneer Beer Trail and Visiting Downtown Vista. Learn more at: https://guideme.tours/
