Just got back from an incredible few days at United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM) headquarters in Michigan.
Traveling from Oregon to attend this immersion event was absolutely worth it. We spent time learning about emerging AI technology, hearing from top-producing real estate and lending professionals, and discussing ways to continue improving the home buying experience for our clients and Realtor partners.
One of the highlights was touring UWM’s impressive 2.5 million square foot campus connected by a sky bridge over the highway. Seeing firsthand what it takes to support a company with over 10,000 employees, including approximately 3,000 underwriters and 1,700 closing team members, was remarkable.
We also got a first look at SCL Connect, Secure Choice Lending’s new AI-powered Property Canvas platform designed to help Realtor partners market properties, generate leads, analyze financing scenarios, and provide an all-in-one real estate experience.
A few takeaways:
• AI is rapidly changing how we serve clients and partners.
• Relationships still matter more than ever.
• Speed and ex*****on creates opportunity.
• Continuous learning is essential in today’s market.
What impressed me most wasn’t just the scale of the operation, but the people. I had the opportunity to meet some exceptional Realtors, lenders, and industry leaders from across the country who are constantly looking for ways to better serve their clients.
Grateful for the opportunity, the education, and the incredible people I met along the way. Looking forward to bringing these ideas and tools back to Oregon to better serve homeowners, homebuyers, and Realtor partners.
