How Valon's AI-native infrastructure transformed mortgage industry

AI replaces mortgage professionals in 2030? This is very disheartening. And very sad for: Anyone who doesn't believe in the human touch. Folks who would rather talk with a machine. LOs who are thinking about quitting. Here are ways for you to win: Engage with your customers beyond low-rate cycles. Keep expanding your network of referral partners. Focus on relationships versus transactions. Never think about quitting. AI is great. So, it's wise to embrace its benefits. There's plenty of marketing automation that surrounds us now. But, the best technology around doesn't replace you. To get homeruns, you must keep swinging. Get off of the bench and suit up! Winners - Win 🏆 Let's Go!!!

If you’re building a fintech product, your best customers are the ones who actually use it. They check their dashboards, explore the features, and trust what they see on screen. They don’t spend weeks deciding or keep asking for discounts. They pay because they see value in what you’ve built. These are the people who make your product better. They give useful feedback, write honest reviews, and tell others about their experience without you asking. They help your growth feel steady instead of forced. So when you plan your next feature, email, or landing page, build it for them. For the people who already understand what you’ve built, and love it enough to tell others.

Your company has the BEST tech in real estate. AI that predicts leads. CRMs that automate follow-ups. Dashboards that track everything. Integrations. Smart plans. Automations. Funnels. You’ve got it all. But you’re still broke. Why? Because you don’t have a tech problem. You have an adaptation problem. Brokerages everywhere are bragging about being “tech forward.” They’ve spent millions on platforms most agents don’t even log into. But here’s the truth— you can’t out-tech a lack of discipline. And you can’t automate what you never built by hand. The danger isn’t bad technology. It’s great technology in the hands of people who never changed their behavior. They’re buying Ferraris for drivers who never learned how to use first gear. The adaptation gap is killing productivity. Offices have become so advanced that the people inside them are falling behind. Data goes stale. Leads die in the database. Managers blame the market when it’s really a human problem. It’s the gap between what we have—and how we work. That’s the silent killer of brokerages right now. But here’s the twist— the company that finally figures this out… the one that bridges behavior, leadership, and tech… will blow the roof off the real estate world. It won’t be the one with the most tools. It’ll be the one that teaches its people how to adapt to them. Because adoption isn’t the finish line—it’s the starting gun. So here’s the real question: Who’s going to solve it? Who’s building not just smarter systems… but smarter agents? Because the future doesn’t belong to the ones with the best software. It belongs to the ones who evolve fast enough to use it. Tech won’t replace REALTORS. But REALTORS who adapt… will replace everyone else. It’s not the tech. It’s the people. #IronMind #RealTalk #BrokerTruth #AdaptOrDie #RealEstateLeaders #MaryAnneGillespie

The last month has been wild at Entora Two lenders reached out asking for partnership memos and pricing to pilot Entora’s AI Nervous System, the layer that connects your tech stack into one intelligent workflow. Two loan officers are onboarding to run live files through our first-generation agents: Doc Follow-Up, Condition Tracker, and Client Update AI. And now, AI engineers are reaching out to help build the next wave of Entora Agents. The industry’s waking up to what’s possible when AI actually works inside the mortgage process instead of sitting on the sidelines. This isn’t theory anymore, it’s happening. If your team’s been talking about automation, compliance, or AI integration for 2026… it’s time to start the conversation. Lets start a conversation, DM me to learn more.

🚨 The real estate industry is officially in the "Age of Agentic AI." Proptech firm Propy Inc. just announced a $100 million M&A expansion to acquire and modernize U.S. title companies, and they're bringing an AI to the closing table: Agent Avery, the first AI Escrow Officer. This isn't just a simple software upgrade; it's a direct assault on the slow, analog inefficiencies that plague the $25B title industry. Why this deal is a monumental step for property operators looking to #BoostNOI: 📈 Massive Efficiency Gains: Propy claims its AI-powered system can reduce workloads by 40%. For property managers and owners, streamlining the final, often frustrating, part of a transaction is a clear path to lower administrative costs and faster portfolio turnover. 🔒 Mitigating Risk: With title fraud being a major concern, moving the process to a safer, fully digital, and "on-chain" model addresses a significant operational risk. 🚀 Modernizing a Legacy System: This move validates the growing sentiment that even the most "analog" parts of real estate are due for disruption. The time for real estate leaders to evaluate their entire operational stack for AI adoption is now. If AI can revolutionize escrow, where else is your NOI being held back by legacy processes? What are your thoughts? Is a 40% efficiency boost in closings a game-changer for property investment returns? #RealEstateTech #Proptech #AI #CommercialRealEstate #Multifamily #NOI #Acquisition #FutureofRE

🎯 Two investors. Same market. Same opportunity. But completely different outcomes. Investor A goes on Zillow. Pays full price — $300,000. ❌ No discount. No instant equity. Just hoping the market bails him out. Investor B uses AI to find deals 40% below market. Buys the same type of property for $180,000. 💡 That’s $120,000 in equity — locked in from day one. ⏩ 5 years later… Both homes are worth $348,000. Investor A: +$48,000 in equity. Investor B: +$168,000. 🔥 Nearly 4x more wealth — from one smart decision. 💭 The lesson? Don’t start behind. Start with equity. ⚡️ Invest smarter with AI.

🚨 The real estate industry just hit a tipping point—and most professionals are missing it. While everyone's debating whether AI will "disrupt" real estate, it's already rewriting the entire playbook. Here's what's happening right now: 🏠 **Search is getting smarter.** Homes.com just launched Smart Search—you can literally ask "Find me a 3-bedroom house near good schools under $400K" in plain English. No more clicking through endless filters. 💰 **Lending is going AI-first.** Longbridge Financial deployed "Bridget," an AI underwriting assistant that's revolutionizing reverse mortgage approvals. Meanwhile, Plaid's new LendScore uses real-time cash flow data instead of outdated credit scores. 📋 **Title work is already automated.** Here's the kicker—90% of title professionals are already using AI tools. And their optimism about AI has jumped 14% in just two years. 🏢 **Even government bureaucracy is getting disrupted.** SwiftBuild.ai is solving the permitting nightmare that's plagued developers for decades. But here's the controversy everyone's talking about: Zillow integrated ChatGPT into their platform—and it's raising serious questions about MLS policy compliance. Are traditional real estate gatekeepers ready for this level of AI integration? The writing's on the wall: ✅ Agents who embrace AI tools will serve clients faster and more effectively ✅ Lenders using AI underwriting will approve loans in hours, not weeks ✅ Buyers will expect instant, intelligent search experiences ✅ Traditional processes that take weeks will be compressed into days This isn't coming in 5 years. It's happening now. The question isn't whether AI will transform real estate—it's whether you'll be leading the change or scrambling to catch up. How is AI already changing the way you work in real estate? What tools are you using?

The Mortgage Industry Doesn’t Need More Software, It Needs Smarter Agents Every lender we speak with is asking the same thing: “How can I do more with less… without burning out my team?” It’s a fair question as margins are tighter, teams are leaner, and the manual busywork never ends. That’s exactly the gap we built Entora to fill. Not with more software… but with AI Agents that think, act, and learn inside your workflow. No new dashboards. No extra logins. Just agents that get things done from lead Generation → close → post-close. We’re building the Shopify of Mortgage AI Agents where you can activate one agent… then stack three more. 💡 Imagine freeing up 5 hours a week. Now imagine doubling your capacity without hiring. That’s the real ROI of Entora. #mortgageindustry #mortgagetech #aiagents #automation #loanofficers #fintech #proptech
