MMI expands Custom Dashboard Hub with Community Reinvestment Act and low-to-moderate income data analytics capabilities

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 the addition of a suite of new dashboards to its growing Custom Dashboard Hub. Built to assist lenders in researching areas to expand their Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), low-to-moderate income (LMI) and majority-minority census tract (MMCT) lending initiatives, the six new dashboards allow lenders to penetrate areas of high growth and increase the span of actionable insights and applications for users.

Banks, credit unions and independent mortgage companies have an increased need for tools to analyze the market at a deeper level and find hidden pockets of opportunity for CRA, LMI and MMCT lending. The new suite of dashboards, including Census Tract, Community Reinvestment Planning and Minority Community Lending dashboards, can help lenders formulate business plans in high growth / high reward areas, identify recruiting candidates and referral partners entrenched in these areas and gain insight into baseline and comparative performance metrics.

Minority homeownership is on the rise and is expected to continue to grow, as predicted by The Urban Institute. Between 2020 and 2040, there will be 6.9 million net new homeowners, which includes 4.8 million more Hispanic homeowners, 2.7 million more Asian and other homeowners and 1.2 million more Black homeowners.

Additionally, a recent report from the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP) states Latinos are more mortgage-ready than ever, referencing that there were 7.9 million Latinos aged 45 or under who have the credit characteristics to qualify for a mortgage and 2.8 million who were near mortgage-ready in 2022.

"MMI's Custom Dashboard Hub allows users to access a deep well of the most current and accurate data available in a faster, more visual format," said MMI founder and CEO Ben Teerlink. "The new CRA, LMI and MMCT capabilities provide increased granularity and insights related to these lending initiatives. For lenders emphasizing CRA, LMI and MMCT lending, it's not enough to analyze their overall performance in local markets; they need to analyze the data through those lenses."

The new CRA, LMI and MMCT capabilities will allow users to:

* See detailed census tract data to better understand an area's demographic breakdown;

* Increase visibility into performing and non-performing markets;

* Analyze production by LMI and MMCT for lenders and loan originators (LOs); and

* Cultivate relationships with referral partners having success in diverse markets.

MMI provides access to loan originator production data with LO Quick Profiles

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 the release of its new LO Quick Profile search tool, which provides a summary view of a loan originator's (LO) production and top referral partners. This information allows lenders to evaluate LOs based on real-time, accurate transaction history rather than relying on their self-reported numbers.

Using the LO Quick Profile, lenders can enter specific LO NMLS numbers into the search bar and, with the click of a button, view production volume metrics from 14 months, 7 months and year-to-date, including:

* Loan production volume;

* Transaction types;

* Loan types;

* Top buy-side & list-side agent partners; and

* Top regions based on performance.

These real-time insights, which can be printed or saved as a PDF, provide lenders with an up-to-date look at LO performance and arm recruiters with the concrete performance data they need to decide whether candidates in their prospect pipeline are high-value targets. Understanding current production trends can also help companies adjust their performance expectations to include more realistic parameters.

"MMI collects, collates and cleanses data from multiple sources to provide actionable intelligence and satisfy many business goals, including LO recruiting," said MMI Founder and CEO Ben Teerlink. "The LO Quick Profiles are a condensed view of MMI's LO Fast Fact Profiles, which provide lenders and LOs with a comprehensive look into recent production highlights that aren't readily available and may have been previously missed."

While the LO Quick Profiles provide limited public access to some LO data, MMI's Fast Fact Profiles for subscribers deliver much deeper details, such as a more comprehensive list of buy-side and list-side agent relationships from the past 14 months, the number of transactions per agent, the agent's name and contact information and access to the agent's Fast Fact profile. Additionally, contact information can be imported into customer relationship management (CRM) software.

"MMI's objective is to provide the mortgage industry with tools that are helpful to lenders and LOs and give a taste of the actionable insights derived from the extensive amount of data available and how both can be used to further business objectives," continued Teerlink. "This is the latest in a series of MMI tools that provide non-customers with limited access to our platform data and insights. In our ongoing effort to highlight the importance of data in the mortgage industry, MMI will continue to develop and release resources like this to the public."

Rachel Slawson Crowned Miss Grand New York, Breaking Barriers and Inspiring Change

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- Rachel Slawson, the trailblazing contestant who shattered boundaries as the first openly LGBTQ+ participant at Miss USA, has achieved another historic milestone by being crowned Miss Grand New York. Her remarkable journey serves as a powerful inspiration, redefining beauty pageants and championing inclusivity.

"Breaking barriers isn't just about making history, it's about reshaping the future," affirms Slawson. "As the first openly LGBTQ+ Miss USA contestant, and now the first queer person to compete in Miss Grand USA, representation means everything to me. It's a powerful reminder that our differences are our strengths, and that the world is ready to celebrate diversity in all its forms. I stand here, not just for myself, but for every young girl who dares to dream big, irrespective of who they love. Together, we're dismantling stereotypes, paving the way for a more inclusive world, and proving that love knows no boundaries. This is our moment, and I couldn't be prouder to be a part of it."

The Miss Grand United States pageant, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, will take place in Chicago, Illinois, at the Copernicus Center on Thursday, August 17. Miss Grand International (MGI), the organization behind the pageant, has gained tremendous popularity over the years, becoming the most talked-about and socially engaged beauty pageant worldwide.

Rachel Slawson's journey is one of unwavering determination and resilience. Beyond her groundbreaking achievement at Miss USA, she has overcome significant personal challenges, including autoimmune thyroid struggles, endometriosis battles, and the aftermath of a shattered engagement. Undeterred by life's obstacles, Slawson founded the I AM WHY Project, an initiative aimed at supporting individuals struggling with confidence, sexuality, and chronic mental wellness challenges. Her extraordinary story serves as a testament to the power of perseverance and an inspiration for those seeking healing and personal growth.

Through the I AM WHY Project, Slawson offers a comprehensive program that combines a two-month group coaching experience with a transformative four-day retreat. This initiative empowers individuals to nurture their mental health, awaken their self-healing power, and reclaim inspired living. Drawing from her own experiences, Slawson understands the depths of emotional turmoil and the strength it takes to rise above it. Her unique coaching approach and retreat provide a safe and supportive environment for participants to embark on their own journeys of healing.

"Amidst the storm of Hashimoto's, endometriosis, and a broken engagement, Rachel Slawson defied the odds, embodying the true essence of perseverance," states a close source. Slawson's ability to conquer each hurdle she faced serves as a living testament to the indomitable human spirit. Her triumphant journey resonates with individuals battling similar health issues and heartbreak, reminding them that even in the darkest moments, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Slawson's unwavering faith in God has been the driving force behind her resilience. "I made my name as an LGBTQ+ icon, but to be clear, my sexuality isn't what got me through the last few months. It was my faith in God. The only title that matters at this stage in my life is Jesus," she asserts. Her remarkable story showcases the power of faith and serves as a powerful inspiration to others navigating their own paths.

Having triumphed over autoimmune thyroid issues, endometriosis struggles, and the emotional hardships that accompanied them, Rachel Slawson is returning to the spotlight at Miami Swim Week. Her presence at this prestigious event is a testament to her unwavering resolve and determination, inspiring others to find their own path to the other side.

MMI releases referral partnership ROI Calculator

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 the release of its ROI Calculator, an easy-to-use tool for lenders to see the impact their referral partnerships have on production volume. The ROI Calculator counts the agents a lender has recently worked with and the percentage of their business, or wallet share, attributed to the lender and identifies the impact increasing that percentage has on production volume.

Using the ROI Calculator, lenders can enter their NMLS number and in the click of a button, receive insights from the previous 14 months, including the number of buy-side agent partners they've worked with, the number of buy-side transactions captured, the percentage of buy-side transactions captured, the volume captured from buy-side agents and the uncaptured volume from buy-side agent partners.

Lenders are also able to see the impact that increasing the percentage of wallet share with current agent partners would have on their production volume. For example, a lender with an average annual production or $500M can see that a 0.1% increase in captured buy-side partner transactions would add roughly $2.5M in production volume to the pipeline.

Similarly, one specific lender averaging $1.3B in captured buy-side volume each year would see that capturing just 0.1% more of wallet share from current partners would result in over $45M in additional volume. That same lender could also see that in the last year, they left more than $43B in uncaptured partner volume on the table.

"Referral partnerships are always valuable, but they are never more crucial than in a market like we're seeing today," said MMI Founder and CEO Ben Teerlink. "MMI's ROI calculator lets lenders visualize and understand how even an incremental increase of wallet share from their existing agent partnerships can have a tremendous impact on production volume. While developing new referral partnerships should never be overlooked, it's usually much easier grow your wallet share by letting existing referral partners know that you'd like to build on your previous success and can handle more of their business."

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."

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, announced today it has launched its new Custom Dashboard Hub and expanded the business intelligence (BI) tools available on its platform, increasing users' ability and ease in developing strategy, recruiting, nurturing talent and discovering new opportunities.

"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."

"We're delighted to provide this option and look forward to witnessing the success smaller lenders find through this offering."

Before joining MMI, Liles spent four years at Movement Mortgage, starting as a loan processor and two years later, he became a loan officer assistant (LOA) to one of Charlotte's top-producing LOs.

Vector Structural Engineering Opens New Office in Utah to Increase Engineering Student Opportunities

OREM, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- Vector Structural Engineering ("Vector") is excited to announce that it's opening a new office in Orem, Utah. This office will focus mainly on the work that its college interns can perform, which includes supporting full time project engineers for tasks on larger projects and also helping to analyze existing residential homes where rooftop solar panels are being installed.

"The location was near a couple of college campuses and we have several student interns working for us so we're hoping to get more of the cream of the crop by being closer to a campus," Jacob Proctor, principal, Vector Structural Engineering, says.

Vector is working to develop engineering processes where projects can be broken down into smaller tasks and their plan is to train interns to help with those tasks. Having an office located near campus will allow them to more efficiently grow this part of the business.

Eric Sumsion, a senior engineer who has been with the company for nearly 10 years, will lead the charge at this new location where there are currently 22 people working out of the office. And the office is conveniently located near the mouth of the Provo Canyon.

"I'm sure that some employees will also take advantage of the fly fishing during their lunch hour," Sumsion says.

Orem is located in the Utah County of Utah and is known for its stunning views of the Wasatch Mountains and its location near outdoor recreation destinations. The city has a thriving economy and is home to numerous high-tech companies and educational institutions. It also offers a rich cultural and recreational experience with parks, museums, shopping centers and more.

"I'm excited for the opportunity to provide jobs to more engineering students, and the growth that we will be able to achieve as a company with this office," Proctor says.

About Vector Structural Engineering:

Vector Structural Engineering is a full-service structural engineering company licensed in all 50 states plus Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and Canada (Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Ontario). Founded in 2002, it has completed thousands of projects across the nation and in Canada. The majority of its business is from clients who have been with Vector for years. Its engineering team includes 27 licensed engineers and 30 project managers across six offices.

MonitorBase Launches Instant Inquiry Alerts to Help Lenders Capture More Opportunities

MURRAY, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- MonitorBase, a mortgage fintech company that monitors prescreened credit information and real-time behavioral data to alert lenders when one of their contacts is in the market to purchase or refinance a home, today announced the launch of instant credit inquiry alerts for their mortgage lender clients. As part of the MonitorBase platform, the new feature alerts loan officers within minutes of a contact in their database has a mortgage credit pull with a competitor and instantly generates a credit offer email without the loan officer needing to take additional action.

The largest banks have historically had better access to data technologies and relentless call center teams, which often leaves smaller mortgage lenders and brokers on the losing end of the technology, without access to the tools to defend their database and clients. MonitorBase's new, proprietary instant trigger alerts means smaller lenders, regional banks and even single brokers now possess the same type of powerful relationship retention technology that was formerly available only to big banks. By providing instant alerts and credit offers, the new feature helps loan officers re-engage past relationships before they are inundated with solicitations from other lenders.

"We are thrilled to offer this new instant inquiry alert technology to our clients so they never miss a potential sales opportunity," said MonitorBase CEO Louis Zitting. "Finally, even the smallest mortgage lenders can know the minute a client or partner is in the market for financing, and 24 hours before lead sellers send that information to hundreds of other lenders. At a time when origination volumes are down across the board, being 24 hours ahead of the competition will mean everything."

According to MonitorBase Vice President of Business Development William LeBaron, mortgage trigger leads are a challenging endeavor because they often prompt multiple mortgage lenders to blow up the phone of the prospect or past client.

"No one wants to be inundated with mortgage offers every time they experience a slight improvement in their credit or make a single inquiry," LeBaron said. "Unfortunately, smaller mortgage lenders, solo shops, and brokers face the greatest consequences when this occurs because they can potentially lose a client to a big bank. But by giving them a head start, our instant inquiry alerts place loan officers in a much better position than their competition."

Believing that every contact matters, the company is committed to helping retail loan officers find new loan opportunities in their existing contact databases so that lenders of any size are in the best position to serve their clients.

About MonitorBase:

Since 2007, MonitorBase has been the mortgage industry's leader in database retention technology. Our commitment to helping retail loan officers find loans in their contact database has been unparalleled for nearly two decades. No matter what size lender, broker, bank, or credit union, our mission is to provide the retail loan officer the most powerful toolsets to turn their contacts and relationships into closed loans. That is why we believe Every Contact Matters. MonitorBase was founded in 2007 by Louis Zitting and is based in Murray, Utah.

Scorecard Ranks States for Water Efficiency and Sustainability Policies – Utah Ranks #20

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- Today the Alliance for Water Efficiency (AWE) released the 2022 U.S. State Policy Scorecard for Water Efficiency and Sustainability (Scorecard), which ranked each U.S. state based on its adoption of laws and policies that advance water efficiency, conservation, sustainability, and affordability. Utah was ranked 20th in the nation and fifth in the Colorado River Basin region, scoring 28 out of 89 possible points.

"With water shortages in the Colorado River Basin and alarming water level declines in the Great Salt Lake, Utah urgently needs further investments in water efficiency and conservation," said Ron Burke, President and CEO of AWE, "Progress has been made in recent years, but in many ways, Utah is playing catch up when it should be leading the pack."

AWE found several gaps in how Utah supports local water agencies, businesses, and residents in managing water efficiently and sustainably.

The report includes four priority recommendations:

1 -- Require plumbing fixtures sold in-state to meet WaterSense efficiency specifications

2 -- Adopt policies to limit water loss in utility distribution systems

3 -- Provide state funding for water reuse/recycling

4 -- Ensure state funding for landscape transformation is used cost-effectively

While some states improved since AWE's previous Scorecard was released in 2017, the analysis found little progress overall, even as droughts and other climate change impacts increasingly undermine affordable, reliable water services. The average state score was only 23 out of 89 possible points.

"Water efficiency and conservation are typically the fastest and least expensive ways to save water while also lowering water bills, reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, protecting rivers and lakes, and enhancing resilience to extreme weather events," said Burke.

Effective state-level water conservation policies are even more important now that the U.S. Congress has authorized billions of dollars in loans and grants for water services as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act. Many of these funds will be administered by states and can only be maximized with good state policies in place.

California was the top-ranked state in the nation earning 72.5 out of 89 possible points followed by Texas with 54.5 points. The remaining top ten highest-ranked states, in order, are Arizona, Georgia, Washington, New York, Nevada, New Hampshire, Colorado, and Minnesota.

Key findings include:

* Connecticut was the only state that reported using its own funds to support customer water bill assistance

* California is the only state that requires water utilities to plan for climate change

* 18 states use their own revenues to fund water efficiency and conservation

* 16 states provide funding for water reuse.

* 13 states require rate structures that encourage water efficiency

* 19 states require coordination between local land use and water planning agencies.

Despite the low scores, there were some bright spots, including ten states adopting point-of-sale plumbing efficiency requirements since 2017 that go beyond federal standards, for a current total of 15 states plus the District of Columbia.

The Alliance for Water Efficiency (AWE) is a nonprofit organization with more than 500 organizational members dedicated to the efficient and sustainable use of water across North America.

COVERGENCE – the research institution tech and startup gap fund and startup accelerator summit

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah /ScoopCloud/ -- COVERGENCE, co-hosted by innovosource and the University of Utah's PIVOT Center, is in its fifth annual year. This year it will be held from Oct. 20-21 at the University of Utah Rice-Eccles Stadium Club. With more than 60 university gap fund/accelerator programs (GAP) and potential commercial and investment partners, this dynamic event will serve as the platform for best practice discussions, GAP program and portfolio reviews, and commercial and investment partnering.

For more than 17 years, Jacob Johnson, innovosource founder, has worked to bridge the gap between researchers, investors and corporations. He's launched initiatives and supported programs like gap funds and accelerator programs (GAP), that advance promising research institution technology and startups from the lab to corporate collaboration and outside investment.

Seventy percent of COVERGENCE participants represent leaders of research institution-managed proof of concept, startup accelerator, and venture gap fund programs with the remainder of representatives coming from corporate innovation and venture firms.

"COVERGENCE brings all these important entities together in one place," Johnson says. "There are multiple opportunities to learn from and share with fellow GAP program leaders, and showcase your portfolio and opportunities to potential commercial and investment partners."

Research institutions will get to experience direct relationship building with other executive GAP program leaders and portfolio managers, leveraging $88 B+ in research funding per year. They'll also get to meet with corporate innovation teams and investors who can help to bridge university gap funding (proof of concept, startup, venture), or what is often to referred to as the "valley of death."

What exactly is the valley of death? It's the gap between the lab research and the marketplace where early-stage capital and technology/startup development support is lacking. This "gap" extends from where funding of basic research ends to where existing technology-driven companies or investors are willing to accept the risk to commercialize or invest in the technology or startup. The negative result is that a large portion of economic creation and commercial potential is left unrealized.

This shortage of early-stage development capital and support is a serious threat to future innovation and associated societal benefits. So, to address this challenge, research institutions and partners have led in the creation of technology and startup gap funding and accelerator support programs as a capital and innovation support mechanism. These programs are uniquely positioned to address critical elements of technology development and startup formation from research institutions.

innovosource's most recent landscape report reveals that 176 gap-fund and accelerator programs from 97 universities included in our GAP community have:

* invested $665MM of their internal funds into more than 1,500 startups and 1,000 corporate-licensed technologies;

* realized $8B+ in direct follow-on investment from corporations, investors, and public funds

* originated 90 percent of opportunities from institutions outside of Boston, New York, and Silicon Valley; and

* supported a diverse portfolio of applications in biopharma and medical devices, software and apps and food, agriculture and energy.

From partner panels and investor focus groups to happy hour mixers and fund/accelerator program and portfolio briefs this event is designed to be exclusively intimate, capping registrants at 150.

COVERGENCE is designed to be an intimate event that helps to maximize relationship building and knowledge exchange. Attendees will have ample time to meet each other and provide a basis to carry those relationships forward long after the Summit ends. There's a huge opportunity for collaboration and partnership to help university-founded startups scale their programs and tech/startup assets.

Some past participants said:

* "COVERGENCE was a great conference to learn more about the complexities of gap funding at universities, from grants to venture. Great topics, networking, and even a little bit of fun thrown in."

* "This was a great opportunity for a small program like ours to compare notes with more established, larger programs to compare best practices."

* "COVERGENCE was worth the intercontinental travel. With a high concentration of experts, entrepreneurs and investors, it really was an eye-opening experience."

And, the benefits to COVERGENCE research institutions can actually start before the Summit begins. How? Research Institutions can apply to provide a GAP program/portfolio brief at the Summit and more broadly submit to COVERGENCE GAP opportunity platform for review and feedback from corporate/investor participants before, during, and after event.

At the event, university participants will receive core GAP best practice discussions, as well as corporate/investor/and innovation ecosystem panels. Limited opportunity also exists for institutions to join a side-track to provide GAP program and portfolio reviews to participating corporations and investors.

Cost for research institutions to attend COVERGENCE 2022 is $399 and that includes registration and access to the pre-event partnering site and submission to the opportunity database. For more information and to register, visit: https://www.innovosource.com/covergence-2022.
