1) Finding New Opportunities

In a competitive market, it’s important to know where there may be pockets of opportunity in order to efficiently improve market share.  Leveraging the opportunity curve data in a granular way allows buyers to strategically identify opportunities with their clients instead of blindly reducing margins in a trial and error fashion.

Your Government Opportunity Curve

With an extra 10 bps you could have picked up an additional $2.40 M which would have increased your market share by 3.05%

Your Conventional Opportunity Curve

With an extra 10 bps you could have picked up an addtional $286.89M which would have increased your market share by 14.41%

2) Consider Your Love/Hate Ratios

How much do your buyers love selling to you (or not)?  Leverage our love/hate metrics to see if you’re getting more loans when you aren’t the best ex than you’re losing when you are.  This data can be used to confirm back end efficiencies or inefficiencies and allows users to quantify how much this is worth to their sellers.

The reporting shows the ratio of these key numbers over time which allows users to see if they are trending in the right direction of getting penalized more.
