Fintech provider Promontory MortgagePath’s digital mortgage and fulfillment solutions receive renewed ABA endorsement

DANBURY, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Leading digital mortgage and fulfillment solutions provider Promontory MortgagePath LLC announced the renewal of its product endorsement by the American Bankers Association (ABA). Promontory MortgagePath combines extensive mortgage operations and compliance expertise with industry-leading mortgage technology to provide efficient, cost-effective mortgage processing and fulfillment services to lenders of all sizes. ABA's endorsement, dating back to 2018, recognizes Promontory MortgagePath's tech-enabled fulfillment solutions for their ability to help its members reduce mortgage origination costs while allowing them to retain a full mortgage product suite.

The endorsement and subsequent renewal are a result of ABA's thorough and ongoing due diligence process, which identifies proven, reliable solutions while saving banks time and money. When deciding whether to endorse a product, ABA engages with bank leaders to identify gaps in their current offerings and opportunities to expand services, works with industry-specific consultants and enlists ABA staff experts to guide the Request for Proposal (RFP) process and validate the research with bankers. ABA is also committed to reviewing each Endorsed Service Provider to ensure it is still providing a valuable service to ABA members and their customers.

"With Promontory MortgagePath's solution, banks can leverage their strong brand and local market knowledge while deploying a digital platform and comprehensive fulfillment services," said ABA Chief Member Engagement Officer James Edrington. "It's a 'pay-as-you-go' model, which boosts profitability and efficiency, and ABA members enjoy an exclusive 10% discount. In a recent monthly billing cycle, one ABA member alone saved $3,820."

"We've enjoyed tremendous growth in 2021, and our strategic relationship with ABA is a key contributor," said Paul C. Katz, managing director of bank relations at Promontory MortgagePath. "This momentum stems from helping our clients win in an intensely competitive mortgage marketplace with innovative tech, expansive product options and the agility to adapt to changing economic conditions. The loan is always originated and closed in the client's name, which maximizes profitability while maintaining a high-touch customer experience."

To meet ABA's standards for endorsement, a company must offer reliability, sustainability, validity, sound risk management, outstanding data and information security and rigorous quality and customer service standards. The initial due diligence process lasts six to nine months and includes analysis by industry experts and validation by bankers. In addition to the ongoing due diligence and annual reviews, ABA also publishes a due diligence report on each ABA Endorsed Provider, which includes insights gained during the due diligence process. These reports are available free of charge to ABA members.

Key features and benefits of Promontory MortgagePath's digital mortgage and fulfillment solution include:

* The proprietary point-of-sale (POS) Borrower Wallet(r), which automates document collection, provides a secure digital portal to collect and store important loan documents and delivers a transparent process to the borrower with real-time status updates;

Attorney David Goldman Guest Speaker at Sarasota Charity Organization Fund Raiser

SARASOTA, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Attorney David L Goldman was a guest speaker at the "Night Of Hope" fundraising event, held by the Second Chance Last Opportunity charitable organization in Sarasota, Florida.

On the evening of Thursday, October 28, 2021 Second Chance Last Opportunity held a "Night of Hope" event to celebrate its 26th anniversary as a successful local 501(c)(3) charitable organization. The event took place at Michael's On East restaurant and raised over $50,000.

A 25th Anniversary event had originally been planned the previous year but was cancelled due to covid. During the pandemic Second Chance transformed itself into an emergency crisis center and distributed food and other items such as toiletries and diapers multiple days a week.

Second Chance was founded by the organization's CEO, Dr. April Glasco, and was originally a small storefront operation on MLK Jr. Blvd in Sarasota. Board Chairman, Attorney David L. Goldman, addressed the event crowd of over 150 attendees.

Goldman noted that the organization remained open throughout the pandemic and has served over 80,000 different individuals. A network of volunteers and suppliers was created to obtain and distribute the food and other supplies and remains intact to deliver services to those in need.

Goldman explained that despite the organization's new and expanded role, Second Chance continues to provide all of the other services that it had come to be known for, such as its life skills management and job training classes to transition clients from homelessness to permanent employment.

In the past few years Second Chance has also focused on the problems faced by young women, offering classes and workshops to help young women break the shackles of dependence and bad influences. Additionally, Second Chance provides children's programs such as its "Out of the Box" programs, as well as community festivals, art classes and more.

About Attorney David L. Goldman

Goldman, a Sarasota personal injury attorney for more than 30 years, has been associated with Second Chance for more than 16 years, initially serving as a volunteer before joining the board. For the past several years, Mr. Goldman has served as board chairman during which time the organization has expanded the services it provides. The law firm of which Goldman is partner, ("Justice Pays") was a Gold level sponsor of the event.

Homeless Share How Holliday’s Helping Hands Approach is Making a Difference

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- In the ongoing battle against homelessness the news is typically bleak, but a longtime nurse turned businesswoman's approach to housing the homeless is sparking hope from some who say they've found more than just a cot and a meal under the roof of Holliday's Helping Hands, Inc.

Enter Katina Holliday, and her flagship organization Holliday's Helping Hands (HHH). An entrepreneur with leadership and organizational talents to rival many Fortune 500 CEOs, she partners with Los Angeles County and cities to provide interim housing services for what she calls her "clients." Proving its model, HHH has helped more than 100 families and individuals find permanent housing in the past 2 1/2 years.

For those who have been chronically homeless, the transition from the streets to interim housing requires major adjustments. The transition period is not just about three meals a day and a roof. It's about priming a paradigm shift from destructive assumptions and readying them to restore their sense of independence and dignity.

Holliday is at the frontlines when it comes to developing a holistic transitional framework for clients. She is adamant about creating an environment of stability, nurturing, respect and accountability. As a girl, she saw her grandmother never turn anyone away even when there was good reason. "She taught me it's not about us versus them, we are all the same community," says Holliday.

According to Angela Ada, who stayed at previous places before coming to the HHH site in Long Beach, "There is more staff, more activities, more like a community here. Her team here at Atlantic is good. As far as the operation, I like that there is a psychiatrist here and able to speak with us about problems we may be going through."

Every HHH client is paired with an HHH case manager who helps create an individualized care plan, or "roadmap," covering everything from creating a balanced budget, lifestyle skills, attire, interviewing, safety tips, and even how to be a good neighbor. "People appreciate clean yards and tidy curbs," says Holliday. "We want them to succeed when they find permanent housing. Part of that is learning how to be considerate of their neighbors," she adds.

An enormous difference is the feel of home when walking into the facility, from encouraging posters adorning the walls to the client bedrooms with colorful comforters and artwork with hopeful messages. The HHH staff fosters positive energy, knowing what's offered is unique to how the homeless are typically treated.

HHH client David Carrillo appreciates the elevated level of cleanliness at where he stays. "The sink is shiny, toilet shiny. You guys have quality staff. I feel you have a higher standard."

Carrillo, who has stayed at other facilities says the difference at HHH is "Credibility. When you guys say something, you make it happen. I feel more comfortable here, you guys are more professional," he says.

Holliday is the first to credit her staff for the uplifting changes taking place. Residents don't just get a roof over their heads; they receive non-judgmental support. "My team is a blessing; they continually inspire me with their compassion for the people we help."

When asked about the nurse who founded HHH, Carrillo met Holliday once and remembers the interaction well. "She made me feel like a human being. She doesn't act like she's better than anyone. She renewed my faith in human kindness."

BURLINGAME, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- KMEA, an engineering, environmental, energy, and sustainability (E3S) consulting company, has selected ARES PRISM cost management software to improve reliability of data and help scale their business.

California-headquartered KMEA provides major program management, project management, environmental compliance and consulting, energy, engineering, sustainability, AEC, and third-party inspection services to federal government, state and local government, and commercial clients in every state within the U.S.

The organization has a portfolio of projects worth more than $20M in annual revenue, in addition to $20M in won bids, that are pending award. To scale their business and improve project management maturity, KMEA is moving away from MS Excel spreadsheets and putting in place a more robust and proactive cost and schedule control system.

As a firm, we understood we needed the right controls in place to further scale our business," Jennifer Mores, PSP, STSC, Vice President & Director of Operations at KMEA, said. "ARES PRISM can be implemented quickly, provide us with a system to streamline and standardize business processes and maintain reliable data, meet both our internal and external project controls requirements, and provide us with the ability to analyze and report our portfolio's cost, schedule, risk and change management data for comprehensive decision making."

ARES PRISM is an enterprise solution that helps manage project and program costs across their entire lifecycle. KMEA is taking advantage of the cost management module, PRISM Cost, and will be able to effectively manage budgeting, resource planning, time-phasing, progress and performance measurement, change management, earned value management, risk management, and forecasting from a single centralized location.

Vice Capital Markets’ Danny Enright honored as 2021 Rising Star by Mortgage Professional America

NOVI, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- Vice Capital Markets, a leading mortgage hedge advisory firm for independent lenders, banks and credit unions, announced Senior Trader Danny Enright has been recognized by industry trade publication Mortgage Professional America (MPA) as one of its 2021 Rising Stars. In its inaugural year, the MPA Rising Stars award seeks to honor young professionals making a significant impact in the mortgage and housing industry.

Enright was recognized for his initiative in improving Vice Capital Markets processes and procedures around client communication. When the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) announced changes regarding second homes and non-owner-occupied properties last year, Enright created and implemented a direct communication channel with clients to assist them in navigating the required restrictions and limited allowable percentage of delivers. This helped Vice Capital's clients optimize their available loans eligible for sale and stay compliant with GSEs changes and requirements. In addition, Enright's efforts in evaluating and improving fallout assumptions have increased the performance and profitability of all Vice Capital clients despite the volatility of last year's market.

"Danny has grown professionally and personally by leaps and bounds in the past year. Not only did he complete his MBA, but his ability to speak directly and communicate effectively with all levels of the clients' senior management has made him a valuable asset," said Vice Capital Markets President Troy Baars. "It's rare to find someone that understands the technical side of hedging and can also communicate in a way anyone can understand, which speaks to a maturity and industry understanding well beyond his years of experience. We're extremely proud of him and look forward to seeing what he accomplishes in the coming year."

Move For Hunger and Graebel Renew Their Partnership and Turn 11,000 Miles into 47,000 Meals to Help Those in Need

RED BANK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Graebel Companies, Inc., a leading provider of international relocation services, and Move For Hunger, a national hunger relief non-profit organization, today announced they renewed their partnership and commitment to the fight against hunger.

Graebel has been a partner of Move For Hunger since 2016 and has helped provide nearly 100,000 meals over the years. Graebel's passion to end hunger goes far beyond the boardroom and extends to many of its employees. Just last month, 250 employees participated in the Move2 Fight Hunger Challenge, a virtual competition that enabled donations to Move for Hunger by encouraging employees to be active. Throughout the month of September, participants could run, walk, bike, cook, or garden, to contribute meals to those in need. During the competition, Graebel employees exercised a total of 11,000 miles, (17,700 kilometers) which helped provide 47,000 meals.

"We have been so excited to partner with Move For Hunger over the years and this year's Move2 Fight Hunger event was phenomenal," said Ben Ivory, Senior Vice President at Graebel. "We looked for a way to engage our 800+ employees in 11 countries through healthy, family-oriented activities focused on an urgent need in our communities. The Move for Hunger team was amazing, and we can't wait to expand the program next year!"

Graebel is a leader in global talent and workplace mobility. They make it easy for companies to relocate employees or entire offices overseas and across borders. They work in 165 countries and their team speaks 42 languages.

The relocation industry is familiar to Move For Hunger, which has been making an impact since 2009. By mobilizing an entire industry, Move For Hunger and its network of 1,000+ movers have transported 24 million pounds of food (20 million meals) to local food banks in all 50 states and Canada. For over a decade, Move For Hunger has been focused on non-perishable food donations, but has recently launched its new fresh food program which has already collected more than 400,000 meals worth of fresh produce in its first few months.

"With the support of Graebel, we continue to find new ways to make an impact," said Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder of Move For Hunger. "Our fresh food program is well on its way and continues to build on the momentum of the organization."

The support is needed now more than ever. Five million more people have fallen into food insecurity as the result of the pandemic. Forty-two million people in the United States, including 1 in 6 children, don't know where their next meal is coming from.

"When COVID devastated the entire country last year, our network stepped up to deliver 4 million meals, a record for us," continued Lowy. "And with the support of our loyal partner in Graebel, this year we're on track to transport more meals than ever before."

About Move For Hunger

Move For Hunger is a 501(c)(3) national non-profit organization that has created a sustainable way to reduce food waste and fight hunger. We have mobilized the leaders of moving, relocation, and multi-family industries to provide their customers, clients, and residents with the opportunity to donate their food when they move. Members of Move For Hunger also organize community food drives, participate in awareness campaigns, and create employee engagement programs.

World-renowned presenters will deliver data and discuss critical information on a leading Healthcare-Associated Infection (HAI), Clostridioides difficile with global healthcare-associated issues from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. ET on Nov. 4 - 5, 2021: 100% Live-online presentations, on-demand poster presentations, exhibitors, and real-time networking opportunities available.

All attendees will have the highest levels of peer networking and learning opportunity at the Conference and Health EXPO.

"The annual C Diff Foundation conference is a highlight of my learning year. The combination of academia, pharmaceutical, and governmental representation creates a learning environment that is second to none. I went initially in 2014 and have circled the conference dates on my calendar annually as immobile. The timing during C. difficile awareness month is tremendous as it summarizes all of the newest findings throughout the year," stated Paul Feuerstadt, MD, FACG, AGAF.

According to the 2017 Update (published February 2018) of the Clinical Practice Guidelines for C. difficile Infection by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and Society or Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA), CDI remains a significant medical problem in hospitals, in long-term care facilities and in the community.

C. difficile is one of the most common causes of health care- associated infections in U.S. hospitals (Lessa, et al, 2015, New England Journal of Medicine). Recent estimates suggest C. difficile approaches 500,000 infections annually in the U.S. and is associated with approximately 20,000 deaths annually. (Guh, 2020, New England Journal of Medicine). Based on internal estimates, the recurrence rate of two of the three antibiotics currently used to treat CDI is between 20% and 40% among approximately 150,000 patients treated. We believe the annual incidence of CDI in the U.S. approaches 600,000 infections and has a mortality rate of approximately 9.3%.

The C Diff Foundation expresses their gratitude to Seres Therapeutics for being the conference Diamond Sponsor. Seres Therapeutics, Inc. is a leading microbiome therapeutics company developing a novel class of multifunctional bacterial consortia designed to functionally interact with host cells and tissues to treat disease. Seres' SER-109 program achieved the first-ever positive pivotal clinical results for a targeted microbiome drug candidate and has obtained Breakthrough Therapy and Orphan Drug designations from the FDA. The SER-109 program is being advanced for the treatment of recurrent C. difficile infection and has potential to become a first-in-class FDA-approved microbiome therapeutic.

Environmental Organization Submits Request for The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to Take Over Carson Hydrogen Sulfide Chemical Leak Investigation

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Coalition For A Safe Environment a 20-year old non-profit environmental justice organization headquartered in Wilmington, California after conducting its own independent investigation of potential sources of the toxic Hydrogen Sulfide Gas Leak in Carson is requesting that the federal U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) take over the investigation.

A Press Conference will be held on Wednesday, November 3, 2021 and 1 p.m. PT at 21907 Acarus Street, Carson, CA 90745.

Carson, Wilmington and South Bay residents have become increasingly dissatisfied and suspicious of the inability of the South Coast Air Quality Management District and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works with all of their advanced gas sensors, air quality monitoring network and professional chemical water tests not being able to trace the source of the Hydrogen Sulfide Gas in the past 4 weeks.

"It is true Hydrogen Sulfide was found in the Dominguez Channel but it is near impossible for Hydrogen Sulfide to have been created there and in the large quantities still being released every day. It would take tons and tons of decaying organic matter in one location in a confined area, over a period of time, with little to no oxygen to create Hydrogen Sulfide," said Jesse N Marquez executive director of the Coalition For A Safe Environment.

The Coalition will present three priority proposals for systematically locating the source of Hydrogen Sulfide. The first proposal will be for the Dominguez Channel Source, second, Oil Refinery Source and third source Carson Earthquake Caused an Underground Fault Shift.

Jesse N. Marquez is the Executive Director of the Coalition For A Safe Environment and will discuss the organizations research and why the U.S. EPA needs to step-in an provide investigation oversite.

Dr. Jill Johnston from the USC Keck School of Medicine will present additional detailed public health information on the impacts of hydrogen sulfide exposure than what has been told to the public.

Isa Pulido, Carson resident and candidate for Carson City Council announced that he took a Dominguez Channel water sample and sent it to a test lab for analysis and the results showed a high sulfur content in the water. The lab report will be available.

Fatima Iqbal-Zubair, is a concerned Carson Resident and an environmental science chemistry and robotics teacher. Fatima is also a Candidate for Assembly District 64 which includes Carson, Wilmington and Compton.

Councilman Jim Dear will discuss his concern for locating the H2S source as soon as possible and preventing future community resident's impacts.

The Coalition For A Safe Environment will also provide a Press Kit with all documentation.

Pantheory Research Organization announces paper on a new ‘Theory of Everything’

CERRITOS, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- A new "Theory of Everything" is being presented by the Pantheory Research Organization. This theory combines Quantum Mechanics (QM), the theory of the smallest particles, with General Relativity (GR), the theory of gravity and the world of the large, in a theoretical construct which they assert is without contradiction. This is their latest version of the theory that relates to problems in the forefront of modern physics as of the fall of 2021.

The most well-known attempt at such a theory was called String Theory, first developed in the late 1960's. It was a mathematical approach that proposed the existence of many dimensions beyond the three dimensions that we know of, plus time. The problem with this theory was that after more than three decades of theory development, no new predictions were ever acknowledged based upon the theory. Many now consider String Theory as "fringe physics," no longer a part of mainstream physics. One might note that there have been a great many Theory-of-Everything(s) proposed, but almost all of them have been solely mathematical approaches.

This Theory of Everything is based on a very unusual approach to such a theory in that the theory asserts and explains why major aspects of "modern physics," including quantum theory and General Relativity, contain conceptual and other errors. "Modern physics" relates to theories of physics that began development in the early 20th century, Quantum Mechanics and Einstein's theories of relativity being prime examples.

Although Quantum Mechanics is the best statistical and mathematical system available for making predictions in the quantum realm (smallest observable particles), there is no consensus version of it which logically explains quantum behavior -- simply that logic is the all-important missing ingredient of Quantum Mechanics, according to this Theory of Everything.

General Relativity (Einstein's theory of gravity) also has its own limitations according to this proposal. This theory proposes what it describes as a much simpler theory concerning the worlds of the big and small combined. According to this theory the Zero Point Fiend (ZPF) dominates both the quantum realm and overwhelms gravity at the largest scales of the universe via background field flow.

Some of the new and contrary assertions of this theory are:

* Light is a wave and only becomes a particle (photon) upon its interference or detection by instrumentation.

* A cosmological constant does not exist.

* The highly regarded Hubble distance formula is wrong, an alternative formula is presented.

* Dark Energy does not exist for reasons presented. Alternative equations are presented.

* Dark Matter does not exist as a major part of the universe, if at all. Alternative equations are presented.

* The "Inflation" hypothesis is wrong; asserting there was never was such an event.

* Einstein's gravity is only a minor factor in determining the structure and form of the observable universe. New equations are presented.

* The Big Bang theory is almost entirely wrong. Alternative theory is presented.

New equations presented:

A New galactic distance equation; A New brightness equation, new equations to determine spiral galaxy rotation profiles, as well as the same equations enabling better predictions of galaxy cluster rotation profiles.

Some of the predictions of this Theory are:

* The Zero Point Field will be realized as controlling both the worlds of the small and of the large via its short-lived virtual particles and its generally unknown field flow characteristics and forces.

* The speed of light is not constant everywhere in the universe.

* At the farthest distances we will find just as many old appearing galaxies as we can observe near us. This is because these galaxies really are old, and the universe far older than what is presently believed.

* The observable universe is expanding little if at all. The Hubble constant and the Hubble distance equation are simply wrong.

* Many small "hot spots" in the cosmic microwave background will be found by the newest telescopes, which are made up of the most distant observable fully-formed galaxies.

* Part of the Micro-wave background is moving. This is because the microwave background is accordingly unrelated to the Big Bang; it is simply the temperature of matter in space based upon galactic radiation, with the temperature distribution and temperature caramelization caused by the Zero Point Field.

In addition to this online paper of the "Theory of Everything," on the same link below is another theory by the same author called: "Grand Unified Theory (analogue)." This additional theory explains all of the so-called forces of nature and how they relate to each other, not explained by this T.O.E.

A new "Theory of Everything" is being presented by the Pantheory Research Organization. This theory combines Quantum Mechanics (QM), the theory of the smallest particles, with General Relativity (GR), the theory of gravity and the world of the large, in a theoretical construct which they assert is without contradiction. This is their latest version of the theory that relates to problems in the forefront of modern physics as of the fall of 2021.

CSG's SSP program is designed to integrate companies with specific areas of expertise with CSG's channel offerings in order to maximize the customer's experience and satisfaction.

12:34 MicroTechnologies, a Pennsylvania-based company founded in 1998, is a national leader offering sales, professional services, and managed services for Microsoft cloud services, Microsoft Office 365, and Azure. From software implementations, migrations, support, and proactive managed services, 12:34 is a full-service IT firm for Microsoft's wide-ranging products and services.

"This partnership is a huge win for our customers and Verizon customers in so many ways," said Michael Pittman, CEO at CSG, "Alejandro and his team at 12:34 are some of the most professional people we've met in the IT realm, and we've seen a huge demand for these services from Verizon teams around the country."

With Verizon selling business customers a wide range of Microsoft product licenses, Pittman saw the need for a partner who could step in to handle the complex migrations and implementations of the software.

Alejandro Rosado, who started 12:34 in 1998 is equally enthusiastic about teaming up with the team at CSG. "Culturally, our two companies are a great fit together," said Rosado, "As we learned more about CSG's place in the market, its relationship with Verizon, and its ability to market our services to their customers, it became incredibly obvious that this was a fantastic opportunity for all of us."

CSG has been quickly growing its SSP lineup over the past several quarters as they scale to offer more of the services needed by its constantly growing customer base. The company's goal is to fully live up to its name and offer all the connected solutions that its customers require, often through SSP partners bringing specialized expertise.

"It's another step in our constant evolution to make sure we are offering all of the products and services that Verizon business customers need," said Pittman, "We're looking forward to spreading the word about this service to our partners at Verizon. The feedback we've gotten so far has been tremendous and we know it will be a huge win for the Verizon reps who regularly have customers with this need."

Mortgage Coach and Sales Boomerang accelerate lead conversion with personalized Total Cost Analysis loan presentations for every managed borrower

IRVINE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Coach, the borrower conversion platform empowering mortgage lenders to deliver clear mortgage advice and lending education with the interactive Total Cost Analysis (TCA) loan comparison, today announced an integration with Sales Boomerang, the mortgage industry's top-rated automated borrower intelligence and retention system. The integration helps convert leads identified with Sales Boomerang's opportunity alerts by enabling lenders to automatically generate accurate TCA presentations that are highly relevant to consumers' housing finance needs.

Sales Boomerang monitors customer databases on behalf of lenders to identify exactly when a prospect or past customer is ready for a new loan. By combining market intelligence - for example, factors such as interest rate changes, improved credit scores and home listings - with mortgage lenders' credit underwriting preferences, Sales Boomerang notifies lenders of high-relevancy loan opportunities. Now, through the integration with Mortgage Coach, every Sales Boomerang opportunity alert from any managed contact record automatically includes a tailored Mortgage Coach TCA that can be used in any form of client or marketing outreach.

With a single touch, loan originators can further personalize the generated loan comparison with video narration from any device, enabling professionals to instantly illustrate all benefits relevant to the borrower. This targeted, proactive loan product positioning leads to a measurable increase in speed of lead decision, selection of more profitable loan scenarios and improved committed loan conversion rates.

Centennial Bank helped shape the Mortgage Coach integration with Sales Boomerang as a trusted depository looking to increase mortgage market share across existing clients. According to Centennial Bank Mortgage Division President Keith Little, "Each month Sales Boomerang proactively identifies hundreds of people within our database who we can now help with a mortgage. By pairing that borrower intelligence with Mortgage Coach's TCA presentations, we now have an automated way of crafting highly personalized lending proposals that illustrate the financial benefits of homeownership, furthering our commitment to provide all our banking customers with long-term mortgage advice and easier access to superior lending services."

"Clearly articulating the specific benefit of a relevant, personalized lending program to newly triggered leads inspires trust and confidence that makes them more likely to transact," said Mortgage Coach President Joe Puthur. "This special innovation with Sales Boomerang gives lenders a fully automated method of providing transparent lending options at the most influential time - well before typical point-of-sale interactions occur. The integration empowers lenders to transform alert-prompted outreach into a consultative conversation by addressing a borrower's needs with the illustrated benefits of lending programs tailored to their specific financial circumstances."

"Our borrower intelligence delivers on ROI promises by excelling at identifying when a borrower is ready to transact," said Sales Boomerang CEO Alex Kutsishin. "Together, Sales Boomerang and Mortgage Coach enable lenders to deliver unparalleled proactive advice to people based on data, creating immediate sales influence for countless new loan options before the borrower is even shopping."

About Mortgage Coach:

Mortgage Coach is the only platform that allows mortgage lenders to create digital and accurate home loan comparisons for consumers. With the Total Cost Analysis presentation, lenders can create a multi-option comparison, offering the borrower a more personalized digital experience.

SimpleNexus’ Mortgage Loan Compensation Report for Q3 2021 shows year-over-year decline in individual LO commission led by waning refi volume

LEHI, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- SimpleNexus, owner of the recently acquired LBA Ware™, a leading provider of incentive compensation management (ICM) and business intelligence (BI) software solutions for the mortgage industry, today released summary statistics on the state of mortgage industry loan compensation in the third quarter of 2021. Analysis of data from the CompenSafe™ ICM platform showed that declining loan volume in Q3 2021 compared to Q3 2020 pushed quarterly loan originator (LO) commission earnings down 17%. Over the same period, mortgage lenders increased loan processor staffing by roughly a quarter while funding fewer loans, driving average individual processor incentive compensation down by a third.

Methodology

SimpleNexus' LBA Ware team reviewed account data for mortgage lenders who used CompenSafe to automate incentive compensation throughout the third quarters of both 2020 and 2021. The controlled sample dataset consisted of retail, first-lien production from LOs and loan processors with at least six funded loans during the three-month period beginning July 1, 2021, and ending September 30, 2021.

Key Findings
* Monthly commissions earned per LO in Q3 2021 decreased 17% overall from Q3 2020. Monthly refinance commissions decreased 37%, accounting for most of the shortfall, while monthly purchase loan commissions held relatively steady, rising just 2%.

* Overall, LOs saw a 2.44% decrease in per-loan commission rates from 102.878 basis points (BPS) in Q3 2020 to 100.372 BPS in Q3 2021. Notably, lenders dialed down per-loan commission rates on refinances by 7.17%, from 95.210 BPS in Q3 2020 to 88.384 BPS in Q3 2021. BPS paid out on purchase loans decreased 1.58% from 109.838 to 108.102.

* LOs averaged $2.2M in funded volume per month in Q3 2021, a decrease of 14.9% from Q3 2020 ($2.6M). Purchase volume funded by individual LOs increased 4% from $1.4M in Q3 2020 to $1.5M Q3 2021, and refinance volume declined 32% from $1.3M to $0.9M during the same period.

* LO staffing levels held relatively steady from Q3 2020 to Q3 2021, dipping just 2%. Simultaneously, loans funded per LO per month decreased 22%, with LOs in the sample set averaging 9.0 loans a month in Q3 2020 versus 7.0 loans a month in Q3 2021.

* Loan processor staffing grew 23% from Q3 2020 to Q3 2021. Loan processors averaged 29% fewer loans per month in Q3 2021 (15.2 units) compared to Q3 2020 (21.5 units), fueling a 33% decrease in quarterly bonus compensation earned from $3,201 per processor per month in Q3 2020 to $2,140 in Q3 2021.

"The heyday of ultra-low rates and enormous refinance volume is over, and compensation is starting to settle back to pre-pandemic levels. On the bright side, 2021 is still shaping up to be the second-highest production year in the last decade, with modest growth in the purchase market helping take the edge off declining refinance volumes," said SimpleNexus EVP and General Manager Lori Brewer. "We will be watching to see if lenders reduce headcount or take a more conservative approach to incentive comp to protect margin."

NYC Mayoral Candidate Cleopatra Fitzgerald Says ‘No One Is Above The Law’

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- NYC Mayoral Candidate Cleopatra Fitzgerald says: "No One Is Above The Law." Lady Cleopatra asks: Courts, Judges, Attorneys or others in higher office to please put attention to the issues that need justifiable laws or alterations as history and the present shows there are tyrannical laws bringing about disruption and decline whereas prosperous laws deliver harmony and order.

The laws of each country, region generally are composed of tradition, religion, culture, norms, values, administration, party beliefs, superstition, oppression, nationalism amongst others.

There are specific issues that resonate globally in particular: poverty, crime, education, health, homelessness, corruption, environment, equality, discrimination and countless more. For these reasons my intention solely is to voice the deficiencies (broken systems) that so many people are clamoring to repair.

It is a plea to those in office to construct laws (if they may) to preserve with their good judgment not wickedness, a healthy way in every aspect to affirm the virtuous norms of righteous demeanor and decorum.

Below is a list of numerous fallible broken systems and their possible solutions according to Fitzgerald. The list extends depending on each country, region and their necessities.

Madam Cleopatra on each topic declares:

Justice: It should never be personal with ill feelings, not for his/her interest or bias, or siding with a predilection; it is on the grounds of truth and seeing evidence where the truth speaks of liberty and not persecuting the innocent victims.

Teachers and education: A sincere confidential survey with non-identifiable bar codes or numbers to assess progress in teaching, no bullying amongst teachers and students (no peer pressure), teachers should neither directly nor indirectly harass students or mal-influence their reputation, no unwanted advances, no misguided content of books intended to talk badly of a student that could lead to suicide, syllabus timely organized and no lies with what to study, no objectification and no repression of student where they are intimidated with silence and non-growth of mind, physical, emotional and spiritual. Surveillance cameras to record inside the veracity of incidents.

Police and other emergency workers, essential workers: Conflict resolution, cultural training, new techniques to apprehend criminals, do not treat them with disrespect and likewise not to treat civilians with unwarranted harshness.

Seniors, Disabled, LGBTQ, Racial groups and Children: To be given aid against assault and abuse considering that they are susceptible to mistreatment. For the perpetrators to face justice and given courses on civility and awareness, safer streets and accessibility.

Poverty, Homelesness: Research each country, region and the factors leading to it. Philanthropists and the wealthy can unite in the efforts to reduce these issues. What equal opportunities are being denied by whom, what policies, what is lacking. Sometimes social workers violate their ethics code by siding with homeless and criminals.

Corruption: The cost of corruption is trillions and it wrecks the economy. Watchdogs, ethics commissions, human rights organizations, whistleblowers, investigative journalists, The FBI's International Corruption Unit (ICU), Global Anti-Corruption Consortium, and others have exposed the havoc and lack of proper laws to rectify this serious problem.

Crimes: The day by day variations of crimes is shameful, it exhibits the inadequacy of laws, responsible surveillance, education, distribution of resources to help people out of crime and poverty stricken communities.

Religion: Persons internationally come from an assortment of cultures, races and religions. Nonetheless, religious places of worship should not be subject to animosity, gossip, harassment, fraud, embezzlement, physical and mental abuse. Places of worship are to peacefully congregate.

Teenagers, Roommates: Teenagers should be taught to live conscientiously and if they become roommates to live without breaking laws of etiquette, no stealing, loud parties, intimate violence, drugs, not making it miserable for their roommates by participating in activities that would be injurious to the other tenants.

Parents: Tell kids not to trust strangers, educate them with good judgment.

Transparency and accountability: What good are if all laws are made and the persons enforcing them bend them and circumvent them pursuant to their selfish needs? There should be persons overseeing each sector, department, and government agency.

Royalty and those in office: No one should be above the law, they should not be immune from criminal, human rights abuses and other offenses regardless of monetary or heritage. No attacking of innocent citizens or others.

Immigrants: The distinct types of immigrants come to each country for special causes. Immigrants and their children, babies should not be harmed, harassed and left in danger. It is a humanitarian disaster. That crisis needs a lot of organizations and spaces to not treat immigrants as stray animals in cages.

Reforms: By paying attention to the populace and their troubles the policies, laws, can change or create a new preferably to continue with the same inoperative manners.

Foreign, National affairs: No xenophobia, no bias, no ambiguity

These topics or just a few of the many more that will be gradually discussed Ms.Fitzgerald says as this campaign season ends she is running to make aware the causes that matter. She will keep you the public updated with anything coming.

ATLANTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Georgia voters head to the polls, and some cities may need runoff elections this month. To educate citizens about alternatives to this system, Better Ballot Georgia, Inc (BBGa), an all-volunteer, Georgia non-profit proclaims November to be "No More Runoffs Month."

Across the state of Georgia, voters are going to the polls for local elections, but many of them will need to go a second time this month. Some local elections have multiple candidates - including the City of Atlanta, South Fulton, Ball Ground, Smyrna, and Peachtree City - and are likely to need a runoff on Nov. 30. While runoffs ensure that the winning candidate has more than 50% of the vote, they cost significant additional taxpayer money and voter time and hassle.

"All this time, effort, and expense is unnecessary," states Shai Robkin, President of Better Ballot Georgia, Inc (BBGa). "Instant runoff voting (IRV), also called ranked choice voting, is a simple and proven alternative. BBGa proclaimed November 'No More Runoffs' month to spread the word about this solution."

IRV has been used in elections around the world for over a hundred years and has been adopted by states, cities and counties across America, from Maine to Alaska. In Georgia, IRV was recently implemented for overseas and military voters. The momentum for IRV is driven by the desire to promote fair and open competition that offers voters more choices, reduce the hyper partisanship that afflicts our political institutions, and deliver government that works on behalf of the majority of the country's citizens.

"When I tell people about IRV, they usually say that it just sounds like common sense," shares Robkin.

Georgia citizens can register their support for IRV by signing the petition at https://www.betterballotgeorgia.org/petition.

Learn how IRV could have impacted the upcoming municipal elections, including the race for the Mayor of Atlanta, at BBGa's monthly meeting on November 18.

About Better Ballot Georgia:

Better Ballot Georgia, Inc (BBGa) is an all-volunteer, 501c3 non-profit organization promoting "common sense solutions for a healthy democracy." BBGa believes that the first step to elections that benefit all citizens is instant runoff voting, also called ranked choice voting. BBGa celebrates its 1-year anniversary this November.

Renaissance Capital Relocates Headquarters to Stamford, CT: Choyce Peterson Negotiates Long-Term Lease

NORWALK, Conn. /ScoopCloud/ -- Choyce Peterson, Inc. (www.choycepeterson.com), a full-service commercial real estate brokerage, recently announced the successful conclusion of lease negotiations on behalf of Renaissance Capital (www.renaissancecapital.com), a global leader in providing pre-IPO institutional research and management of IPO-focused investment products, for a new 2,931 SF headquarters office at First Stamford Place in Stamford, CT. Choyce Peterson Principal John Hannigan and Associate Casey McKnight represented Renaissance Capital in this transaction.

When Renaissance Capital's headquarters lease in Greenwich was set to expire, Bill Smith, President of Renaissance Capital, reached out to Choyce Peterson. Hannigan and the Choyce Peterson team had previously led Renaissance Capital through multiple real estate transactions, including negotiation of their Greenwich lease in 2011. Smith sought to relocate their headquarters to a high-quality building with easy access to I-95 and Metro-North in lower Fairfield County. Additionally, he sought a custom build-out in an office complex with a complete set of high-end amenities to offer his employees.

After touring multiple buildings throughout Greenwich and Stamford, Choyce Peterson solicited proposals from numerous landlords. Ultimately, Smith and his team decided on Stamford's First Stamford Place, and Hannigan and McKnight expertly negotiated a new lease with the landlord, Empire State Realty Trust (ESRT). The three-building First Stamford Place office complex was recently renovated and upgraded and offers its tenants a first-class amenity package with secured covered parking, shuttle to the Stamford Metro-North train station, full-service grille, dining and coffee lounge, fitness center with classes, on-site daycare, and a building conference room and concierge service.

Tenants benefit from the complex's ideal location at I-95's Exit 7 a quarter mile from the Metro-North station, as well as ESRT's industry-leading indoor environmental quality measures that include MERV 13 filters, active bi-polar ionization and increased air filtration for a confident return to office.

Hannigan commented, "We're honored to once again represent Renaissance Capital, an industry titan in the pre-IPO research market and IPO Exchange Traded Funds (NYSE symbol: IPO), for their headquarters relocation. After a thorough search of the market, our proposal negotiations gave the Renaissance Capital team the confidence that a relocation to First Stamford Place was the perfect solution to their office space needs. We appreciated ESRT's partnership during the proposal process."

Smith concluded, "We're so glad to once again work with John and the Choyce Peterson team on this important relocation of our headquarters office. We were unsure if relocating to a different city would work for our company, but John and Casey made the process seamless with their exhaustive research of the local markets and on-point negotiations with ESRT. We're excited to grow our business in Stamford and look forward to establishing new roots for our firm."

The landlord's team on this leasing transaction included Torey Walsh of Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, and Jeff Newman and Kimberly Zaccagnino Perna of Empire State Realty Trust.
