“With the market where it is at the moment, it is in every company’s best interest to perform their research and assess whether their current tech stack is living up to the ROI that was promised and if not, weigh the opportunity cost of switching.” Words from Rebecca Frisbie, our Principal of Mortgage Platform, on our newest blog about platform renewals and how to stay ahead of your own billing deadlines. For many organizations, renewal decisions on current tools are not a well-defined process. Which leads to outdated, cobbled together tech stacks full of tools that don’t quite work together. In this week’s blog, we lay out some pitfalls and suggested practices on renewals, as well as 12 review questions you can use with your team today. Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/eJb_DTwk

Big news: Tidalwave Head of Engineering Yushi Xu was today named a 2026 HousingWire Tech Trendsetter, an award that honors the tech leaders developing, improving and implementing the technology transforming how housing professionals work and serve their customers. Deciding whether a borrower’s income, assets and credit add up to a loan is still a human call in mortgage, and Yushi is one of the few people in the industry trained to build software that can make it. She earned her PhD in machine learning and AI at Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and as Tidalwave’s Head of Engineering she has built nearly every product our lenders use. From the most functional to the most creative, like our intelligent application starter that can take emails, tax returns, handwritten notes, or any other document and kick-start a personalized loan file. Every breakthrough at Tidalwave has had Yushi at its center. As HousingWire CEO Clayton Collins put it: “This year’s Tech Trendsetters represent the very best of housing innovation. In a period of economic headwinds and rapid technology evolution, these leaders are turning AI, data and digital innovation into real business and consumer outcomes. Their work is making the housing industry more efficient, more connected and better prepared for what’s next, and we’re proud to recognize them.” Please join us in congratulating Yushi.

Big news: Tidalwave was today named the winner for Mortgage & Lending Innovation in Inman’s 2026 Best of Proptech Awards. This is our second year in a row recognized by Inman, and we don’t take it lightly. Winners were chosen from 126 nominees across 21 categories. For the first time, Inman also folded the AI awards into Best of Proptech. AI isn’t a side category in real estate anymore. It gets judged on the same terms as everything else: does it solve a real problem, and can you show results? As Inman CEO Thomas M. Bohn put it: “The technology these teams built is solving real problems for agents, brokers, lenders and buyers, and you can see it in the results they shared with us.” Mortgage has been one of the hardest places to bring that change, and we’re proud to be part of it. Thank you to our customers and our team. https://hubs.ly/Q04CQh2q0

Still chasing the same documents or re-keying data into your LOS? Join us November 5 for The Lender Playbook for Embedded Verification with Argyle and Contour Mortgage Corporation. Contour moved income, employment, and asset verification into the borrower’s application. Borrowers link payroll and bank accounts while they apply, and verified data flows into the LOS without anyone retyping it. Contour will share why they made the change, how they rolled out Argyle inside Tidalwave’s 1003, and how they got loan officers and processors on board. Thursday, Nov 5 · 10:00 AM PT / 1:00 PM ET

A drill and a hammer can both drive a screw, but you’ll have a much harder time getting it done with the hammer. Most of the time, mobile apps are a hammer, not a screwdriver, for lenders. Stripped down, oversimplified, good for pieces of the work but not the whole job. We knew that wasn’t what we wanted. So we designed our mobile app differently, as a complete, standalone capable workspace. As we hear more and more about the innovations keeping lenders sane in this market, we wanted to dive deeper on one of our lesser-recognized design choices. We could have picked a hammer, but we wanted a purpose-built tool. And our customers are not quiet about their appreciation for that choice. Hear from one of our leading customers’ CSOs about why she loves our approach to mobile: https://lnkd.in/ew6xB4Ga/?utm_campaign=Boost_Post_WebsiteVisits_Oct22,2026&utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=paid&utm_id=1239494464&hsa_acc=547284469&hsa_cam=1239494464&hsa_grp=905229204&hsa_ad=1611425754&hsa_net=linkedin&hsa_ver=3
