Looking ahead, Leslie envisions an industry shaped by rapid technological innovation and evolving market challenges. “The digitization spurred by the pandemic is just the beginning. Companies across the mortgage value chain will need to become ‘fintechs’ to survive. At the same time, affordability pressures and climate-related challenges will demand holistic solutions,” she said.
