Already one of the nation’s largest mortgage cooperatives, Lenders One has welcomed 23 new members since August 2018. The cooperative most recently added two notable preferred providers and four preferred vendors, gained momentum through new product development and is excited to announce the launch of a new proprietary offering. 

• New preferred providers:

• Constructive Mortgage Services. A national lender that features two types of business-purpose lending products for Lenders One members: bridge financing (fix and flip, renovation loans) and single asset rental property loans.
• Luxury Mortgage. A national mortgage banking firm that offers Lenders One members a comprehensive Non-QM product suite on a delegated or non-delegated underwriting basis.

• New preferred vendors:

• Blend. A cloud-based technology platform, currently specific to home lending, delivers speed and efficiency to lenders so they can serve the modern borrower amid rising competition and changing regulations.
• Botsplash. A digital messaging software that connects agents and customers across any digital platform (i.e. email, website, text, social media) and helps businesses adopt a digital strategy through live chat and automation.
• Candor Fintech. The world’s first and only Loan Engineering System™ (LES) that underwrites a loan in seven seconds, is backed by a defect policy that works within a member’s LOS and utilizes dual AI platforms and a blockchain database.
• MBS Highway. MBS Highway helps LO’s convert more conversations with customers into applications and transforms originators from salespeople into advisors.

• Momentum gained, Lenders One^® eClosing by DocMagic. Launched in August 2018 as a complete eClosing solution for borrowers, lenders and investors, the solution provides an entirely paperless workflow that integrates every component of the closing process and guides users through each step. Lenders One has gained momentum with onboarding five new members with six members in contract and over 30 members actively exploring the solution.

• New portal, L1 Connect. Designed specifically for Lenders One members, L1 Connect allows members to connect on a daily basis and access content, education and resources. The platform grants access to the Member Exchange, a real-time forum with discussions on topical themes in the industry as well as a library of over 50 preferred providers, offerings, solutions and contact information.

“Lenders One continues to add strong leaders, timely offerings and valuable partners to the cooperative network,” said Brian A.
