This isn’t your average mortgage industry chat.
In this high-impact episode, Diego Sanchez, President of HousingWire, joins Fobby for a raw, unfiltered conversation on the real forces shaping the mortgage business in 2025. From AI and servicing dominance to the truth about signing bonuses, nothing is off-limits.
Whether you’re a loan officer looking for your edge or a leader planning next year’s strategy—this is the conversation you didn’t know you needed.
Why servicers are positioned to dominate refis —and what that means for retail
How to actually use AI to free up time and drive better borrower engagement
What top executives are privately saying (and doing) that’s shaping the industry
Why signing bonuses are alive and well—even when leaders publicly denounce them
How to leverage local market knowledge as your competitive advantage
"One guy told me he’s got an ice cube (servicing pool)—and he’s going to do everything he can to not let it melt. That’s the mindset servicers have now with their portfolios."
– Fobby Naghmi
“Know your local market better than anyone else. Don’t just repeat national headlines—be the expert your clients and agents trust.”
