Orlando said he is excited to join Lender Price.
“When I was first introduced to the company in 2016 at the MBA Annual conference in Boston, I knew that they were a company to watch,” he said. “Their innovative technology and approach to the product and pricing space are revolutionary and opened the door for our clients to be able to evaluate not only individual loans but entire portfolios quickly and efficiently.”
As an example, he said, “Capital Markets teams can quickly add or modify their products and pricing to meet the ever-changing needs of the industry, while also providing loan officers with an easy-to-use tool for selecting and pricing loans for their customers. Lender Price not only provides clients with an advanced PPE for today but one that is constantly being enhanced with features and functionality to meet their needs for the future.”
Based in Pasadena, Calif., Lender Price delivers a cloud-native product and pricing engine (PPE), automated underwriting system (AUS), and an analytics suite to top banks, lenders, credit unions, and mortgage brokers.
Its pricing platform was built by industry veterans who understand the needs of the lending community, the company sid, adding that since 2015, its platform has been providing lenders of all sizes and business channels with access to all loan types, including Non-QM, non-agency, and home equity programs.
