Floify’s head of product Sydney Barber receives 2025 Mortgage Star Award

Mortgage Women Magazine's annual award program celebrates strong and inspiring women within the mortgage sector

BOULDER, Colo., July 9, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Floify, the mortgage industry’s leading point-of-sale (POS) solution, today announced that Sydney Barber, head of product, has received a 2025 Mortgage Star Award. The Mortgage Star awards honor exceptional women in the mortgage and housing finance industry who demonstrate leadership, innovation and a commitment to advancing the profession.

Sydney Barber, Head of Product at Floify
Image caption: Sydney Barber, Head of Product at Floify.

Barber joined Floify in 2019, and her outstanding product knowledge and commitment to continual improvements have propelled her to head product development for the popular POS platform. Under her leadership, Floify has introduced dozens of POS innovations benefitting both lenders and homebuyers. In 2024, her team rolled out Floify Verify, a cost-effective way for lenders to verify employment and income in the Floify environment without the hassle of managing additional vendors, all at 60–80% less costly than legacy verification methods.

Earlier this year, Floify released Dynamic Apps, a no-code feature that lets lenders tailor loan applications in the popular POS based on loan type to easily add Non-QM, construction loans, HELOCs or other loan types, creating new revenue paths while staying fully compliant with industry regulations. Additionally, Floify became the first POS to offer translations on loan applications, to offer ADA-compliant borrower interfaces, and to support the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac initiative to consider on-time rent payments as valid automated underwriting system inputs.

While mentoring can eat into project time upfront, it’s an investment she’s committed to making to help her colleagues meet their professional goals. Barber frequently meets with team members and others within the organization to help them better understand Floify’s desire to deliver more value to its customers and how to thrive in its collaborative and open culture, where new ideas are encouraged at all levels.

Outside of work, Barber participates in Habitat for Humanity home-building project in Boulder. She is also a volunteer judge for the Colorado Future Business Leaders of America (FLBA), having recently judged its graphic design competition.

“Sydney provides her hand-picked team with a broad understanding of the mortgage process so they fully understand the business and challenges our customers face,” said Sofia Rossato, Floify’s president and general manager. “This makes the team cohesive and obsessed with delivering value to our customers with each new product feature and iteration. They are a big part of why Floify earns a stunning 98.2% customer satisfaction rating.”

Author Scott Liebler offers help for these stressful times with ‘The Chill Pill Prescription: Turns Stress to Strength’

EVERGREEN, Colo., June 10, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — With the publication of “The Chill Pill Prescription” (IBSN: 978-09982764270), author Scott Liebler synthesizes more than 35 years of successful experience helping people of all ages to better manage their response to stress. His book offers a four-step, martial arts calming technique paired with a three-step processing procedure that, together, transform stress into strength. Interwoven with the instruction is a very personal story from Liebler’s own life, which makes the book a more powerful read than one might expect.

Image caption: Author Scott Liebler with his book: “The Chill Pill: Turns Stress to Strength.”

“The Chill Pill Prescription” outlines the anatomy and physiology of the human stress response. Each process step incudes exercises that help train the body to release tension and tap into the reader’s own reserve of grace, strength, and sensibility.

“When pharmaceutical companies started offering drugs to treat ADHD,” Liebler explains, “I went to my doctor seeking help to manage my racing mind and to develop improved focus.” Instead of prescribing medication, Liebler’s doctor recommended meditation and a movement discipline such as tai chi or yoga. That was the beginning of Liebler’s immersion into an eclectic mix of mind and body disciplines, which he eventually distilled into a relatively simple process.

“The seven steps and various exercises described in my book inspired me to use my experience as a radio announcer, gymnastics instructor, preschool teacher, and children’s entertainer to create a program called ‘Funsical: Fitness for Body, Mind, and Mood,’” the author says. For years, Liebler has worked across the state of Colorado and beyond, teaching the concepts to groups and individuals, from preschoolers to seniors, and people representing the full range of physical and mental abilities.

Now, these proven techniques are available to anyone through his book: “The Chill Pill Prescription: Turns Stress to Strength.” Stress abounds in these times—whether it’s caused by life changes, divisive politics, contentious relationships, economic pressures, crowded traffic, competing deadlines, or a difficult boss. Liebler’s book offers practical help for those who want to respond to stress in a calm and productive manner.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR, SCOTT LIEBLER:

Scott Liebler and his unique educational programs are based in Evergreen, Colo. His personal history of ADHD and his doctor’s advice led him to explore a wide variety of mental and physical disciplines. His diagnosis and subsequent deep dive into mind and body disciplines—along with his experience as a radio announcer, gymnastics instructor, preschool teacher, and children’s entertainer—led him to create educational programs under the name, “Funsical: Fitness for Body, Mind, and Mood.” For decades, these programs have helped people of all ages and abilities to improve their physical and mental health.

DENVER, Colo., May 15, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — ACES Quality Management® (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, announced the release of its quarterly ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report covering the fourth quarter (Q4) and calendar year (CY) of 2024. The latest report analyzes post-closing quality control data derived from ACES Quality Management & Control® software.

Image caption: Figure 2 from the Q4/CY 2024 ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends report displays the percentage of loans with critical defects by quarter for each quarter in CY 2023 and CY 2024.

Key findings from the Q4/CY 2024 report include:

  • The overall Q4 2024 critical defect rate was 1.16%, reflecting a 23.18% decrease from Q3 2024.
  • CY 2024’s average critical defect rate was 1.52%, down 9.52% from CY 2023.
  • Of the four major underwriting categories, Assets, Income/Employment and Credit improved in Q4 2024, while Legal/Regulatory/Compliance and Product Eligibility saw increases. On a year-over-year basis, only Income/Employment and Assets saw declines.
  • In Q4 2024, Legal/Regulatory/Compliance emerged as the leading defect category, followed by a tie between Assets and Income/Employment.
  • For CY 2024, Income/Employment and Assets were again the most cited defect categories, followed by Credit and Legal/Regulatory/Compliance.
  • Sub-category analysis for Q4 2024 showed declines in Documentation and Calculation/Analysis defects within the Income/Employment category. Meanwhile, Eligibility-related defects increased in the Income/Employment, Assets, and Credit categories, and Documentation-related defects also rose in the Assets category.
  • Refinance review share increased in Q4 2024, while purchase review share declined. Refinance defect share increased modestly, while purchase defect share fell.
  • For CY 2024, FHA review share increased, with defect share decreasing from Q3 to Q4. Conventional review share remained steady, while USDA and VA volume remained low overall.
  • In Q4, FHA defect share improved, while conventional defect share increased modestly. VA defect share was largely unchanged.
  • For CY 2024, defect share declined for FHA and USDA loans, increased slightly for conventional loans, and remained flat for VA.

“Lenders made meaningful progress in loan quality in 2024, closing the year with one of the lowest quarterly critical defect rates we’ve ever observed,” said ACES Executive Vice President Nick Volpe. “However, continued volatility across the Legal / Regulatory / Compliance and Insurance categories, as well as within the Income/Employment Eligibility subcategory, highlights the importance of ongoing diligence in quality control efforts.”

Findings for the Q4/CY 2024 ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends are based on post-closing quality control data derived from the ACES Quality Management and Control® benchmarking system and incorporate data from prior quarters and/or calendar years, where applicable. All reviews and defect data evaluated for the report were based on loan audits selected by lenders for full file reviews.

Floify’s Maggie Zielinski Swanson named to HousingWire’s 2025 Rising Stars list

HousingWire's Rising Stars award recognizes emerging industry leaders who have demonstrated rapid career growth and an ability to lead - all before the age of 40

BOULDER, Colo., April 1, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Floify, the mortgage industry’s leading point-of-sale (POS) solution, today announced that Enterprise Account Executive/Sales Engineer Maggie Zielinski Swanson has been named to HousingWire’s prestigious Rising Stars list for 2025.

Image caption: 2025 HousingWire Rising Star Maggie Swanson.

HousingWire’s Rising Stars award is given to individuals under 40 years of age who demonstrate impressive professional momentum and are building reputations for driving growth and change in the real estate, mortgage and housing-related industries. Swanson has been selected in the Mortgage category.

Swanson, 29, joined Floify in 2021 as a skilled sales professional and has quickly become an indispensable force in the company’s collaborative culture and growth. As the company’s first enterprise sales executive, she quickly mastered the complex needs of credit unions, IMBs and banks, and was instrumental in the launch of Floify Lender Edition.

A gifted self-starter, the first-generation American has charted her own course, listening to lenders to understand what keeps them up at night and identifying how to position Floify’s features in ways that address their cost and process challenges. Her ability to earn the business of large enterprise accounts, lead sales training and represent Floify at major events has strengthened the company’s reputation and market presence. Over the past year, her efforts have put Floify in a stronger competitive position, closing major accounts while receiving praise from customers and the Floify team.

“Maggie is always looking to learn, and she has been undeterred by the complexity and scale of mortgage technology and mortgage lending ecosystems,” said Sofia Rossato, Floify’s president and general manager and 2024 HousingWire Women of Influence winner. “Maggie’s persistence, coupled with her joyous and approachable demeanor, have helped our clients achieve positive business outcomes, and we are so pleased to see her efforts recognized by HousingWire.”

Floify introduces Dynamic Apps so lenders can tailor applications by loan type while supporting regulatory compliance

No-code custom loan applications supports improved borrower experience and faster loan processing

BOULDER, Colo., March 3, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Floify, the mortgage industry’s leading point-of-sale (POS) solution, today announced Dynamic Apps, a no-code feature that lets lenders tailor loan applications based on loan type. By eliminating irrelevant questions, Dynamic Apps shapes the home financing journey to borrowers’ unique goals while helping lenders accelerate approvals, improve application completion rates and maintain regulatory compliance.

Floify
Image caption: Floify.

Traditional loan applications follow a one-size-fits-all structure, often requiring borrowers to answer unnecessary questions. Dynamic Apps personalizes the application process by prompting borrowers to specify their loan purpose — such as purchase or refinance — at the beginning of the application for appropriate routing to specific questions. Based on their selection, the application adjusts, only guiding borrowers through questions relevant to their loan type.

Notably, Dynamic Apps allows lenders to create custom questions for specialized mortgages, such as non-QM and HELOC loans. It also supports HELOC lending compliance by presenting HELOC-specific disclosures within the loan application and by triggering HELOC-specific, rule-based workflows once a HELOC application has been submitted.

The configuration of questions to ask, require, or disable is based entirely on what the borrower selects upfront as their loan purpose. Dynamic Apps lets lenders customize question flow rather than omitting questions or entire sections from their application for certain loans. This enables borrowers to complete applications faster while improving application completion rates and helping lenders remain in compliance with industry regulations, such as those that prohibit asking applicants to provide demographic information for certain loan types.

“We see allowing lenders to collect information specific to the type of loan they are originating as a game-changer, streamlining the approval process and providing a red carpet experience for loan applicants,” says Sofia Rossato, president and general manager of Floify. “In essence, Dynamic Apps supports easily configurable, no-code application types that reduce application fallout and ultimately help lenders do more business.”

Dynamic Apps will be showcased at ICE Mortgage Technology’s ICE Experience, March 10-12, at Booth 417. Later in 2025, Floify will enhance Dynamic Apps to support additional types of loan application workflows.

ACES Q3 2024 Mortgage QC Trends Report shows ‘sharp rise in insurance defects’ for second time this year

Fluctuations in key underwriting categories reinforce the need for quality control

DENVER, Colo., Feb. 13, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — ACES Quality Management® (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, announced the release of its quarterly ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report covering the third quarter (Q3) of 2024. The latest report analyzes post-closing quality control data derived from ACES Quality Management & Control® software.

NOTABLE FINDINGS FROM THE Q3 2024 REPORT INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

  • The overall critical defect rate declined from Q2 to Q3 by nearly 17%, ending the quarter at 1.51%.
  • Income/Employment was again the leading category of defects at 25%, followed by Assets at 16.67%. Credit and Loan Documentation tied for the third most defects at 12.12% each.
  • Insurance defects increased more than four-fold from a nominal .65% in Q2 to 3.03% in Q3, demonstrating a volatile pattern since Q1 when the share stood at 8%.
  • Mirroring the origination environment in Q3, lenders increased their reviews of refinances while defect share declined.
  • Purchase defect share increased despite a decrease in purchase reviews.
  • Conventional review share increased slightly in Q3, while FHA, USA and VA loan reviews decreased.
  • Defects declined significantly for conventional and USDA loans this quarter, while FHA defect share increased by 25%.
  • VA defect share increased significantly in Q3, though primarily driven by a temporary phenomenon.

“The drop in the overall critical defect rate this quarter is a welcome shift, but the underlying trends tell a more complex story. The sharp rise in insurance defects, combined with fluctuations in key underwriting categories, reinforces the need for lenders to stay agile in their quality control efforts,” said Nick Volpe, executive vice president of ACES Quality Management. “As market conditions evolve, leveraging technology and data-driven insights will be critical to maintaining loan integrity and mitigating future risk.”

Findings for the Q3 ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report are based on post-closing quality control data derived from the ACES Quality Management and Control® benchmarking system and incorporate data from prior quarters and/or calendar years, where applicable. All reviews and defect data evaluated for the report were based on loan audits selected by lenders for full file reviews.

ACES Q2 2024 Mortgage QC Trends Report Reveals Second Consecutive Increase in Critical Defect Rate

Persistent issues in Income/Employment defects and significant defect growth across all major underwriting categories push defect rate closer to 2% threshold

DENVER, Colo., Nov. 20, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — ACES Quality Management® (ACES), the leading provider of enterprise quality management and control software for the financial services industry, announced the release of its quarterly ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report covering the second quarter (Q2) of 2024. The latest report analyzes post-closing quality control data derived from ACES Quality Management & Control® software. ACES has altered the timing of this report to better reflect Fannie Mae’s accelerated timeline for post-closing quality control reviews.

Notable findings from the Q2 2024 report include the following:

  • The overall critical defect rate increased 14.56% to 1.81%, marking the second consecutive quarter of growth.
  • Income/Employment remains the leading category of defects at 37.01%, followed by Assets at 14.29% and Credit at 9.79%.
  • Defects increased in all four major underwriting categories, with Income/Employment defects rising the most quarter-over-quarter.
  • Appraisal defects saw the most significant quarter-over-quarter growth across all categories, increasing by 98.33%.
  • Insurance defects reversed course from Q1 2024, declining 91.99%.
  • Lenders continued to prioritize purchase reviews over refinances, with defect share rising 2.71% for purchase transactions and declining 11.66% for refinances.
  • Conventional and FHA review shares declined slightly this quarter. While VA review share increased somewhat, lenders significantly increased their reviews of USDA loans in Q2.
  • FHA and VA loan performance improved tremendously over Q1, declining 35.26% and 56.57%, respectively. Conventional defect share increased by 13.59%, but the largest area of concern this quarter is USDA loan defects, which increased by 370.9%.

“This quarter’s rise in critical defects signals that lenders need to double down on quality control efforts, especially as volumes grow,” warned Nick Volpe, EVP of ACES Quality Management. “While the industry’s resilience is evident, the increased scrutiny of income and other key underwriting areas reminds us of the complexities in today’s lending landscape. Proactive adoption of digital tools is key to maintaining high standards and navigating an environment where even minor lapses can impact long-term performance.”

Findings for the Q2 ACES Mortgage QC Industry Trends Report are based on post-closing quality control data derived from the ACES Quality Management and Control® benchmarking system and incorporate data from prior quarters and/or calendar years, where applicable. All reviews and defect data evaluated for the report were based on loan audits selected by lenders for full file reviews.

Sydney Barber, Floify’s head of product, named a HousingWire 2024 Tech Trendsetter

BOULDER, Colo., Nov. 1, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Floify, the mortgage industry’s leading point-of-sale (POS) solution, today announced that its Head of Product, Sydney Barber, has been named a 2024 Tech Trendsetter by HousingWire. The HW Tech Trendsetters awards program seeks to recognize the people who drive innovation in the mortgage and real estate industries.

“The 2024 Tech Trendsetters represent a group of truly innovative leaders who are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in mortgage and real estate,” said HousingWire Editor-in-Chief Sarah Wheeler. “These tech trailblazers are not just enhancing efficiency, but transforming the way businesses operate — from streamlining lending processes to improving the customer experience in real estate transactions. Their impact is reshaping both industries, and their forward-thinking solutions are setting new standards for how technology can drive growth and success in today’s evolving market.”

Barber joined Floify in 2019, and her outstanding product leadership has quickly propelled her through the ranks to head of product. She is a hands-on leader for every new feature and integration at Floify, having spearheaded more than 100 product updates in the past three years to help its customers operate more efficiently in a volatile market.

Under Barber’s direction, Floify has introduced groundbreaking features that improve homeownership accessibility. Notably, Floify was the first POS to offer translations on loan applications, offer ADA-compliant borrower interfaces, and support Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s initiative to consider on-time rent payments as valid AUS inputs.

In October 2024, Barber ushered the release of Floify Verify, a native verification of income and employment (VOIE) service for lenders and brokers. Floify Verify offers an elegant and cost-effective way for lenders to verify employment and income in the Floify environment without the hassle of managing additional vendors — all at 60–80% less cost than legacy verification methods.

“Sydney’s curiosity and her desire to help people overcome obstacles are what truly set her apart,” said Sofia Rossato, president and general manager at Floify and a HW Women of Influence winner in 2024. “When approaching challenges, I sometimes find myself asking, ‘What would Sydney do?’ We are proud of Sydney’s achievements and agree with HousingWire that she’s an exemplary person who is pushing the industry forward.”
