The conversation also covers ACUMA's new advocacy platform and first-ever Advocacy Day, where credit union mortgage lenders will take their story to Washington. Peter and Joey discuss how AI can streamline underwriting, data validation, and quality control, why vendor management concerns are holding some credit unions back, and why starting small is the best way to begin. They close with the need to develop the next generation of mortgage leaders and a look at what credit unions should plan for in 2027.

Whether you're a credit union executive, mortgage leader, or technology professional, this episode offers a practical look at how credit unions can grow their mortgage business through relationships, technology, and talent.

Diego shares why the gap between AI hype and real ROI has narrowed over the past year, with AI now driving gains across the entire housing ecosystem rather than isolated pockets like servicing.

The conversation explores why the "harness" around AI, proprietary data, governance, and workflow guardrails, matters as much as the model itself, and why it's key to using the technology safely and effectively. Diego and Dee also discuss the rise of AI-informed borrowers and shopping agents, the coming "flight to quality" as AI increasingly directs referrals to top-performing loan officers and real estate agents, and how mortgage organizations may evolve into a "barbell" structure, with production and technology as the heavy ends and a thinner middle as AI absorbs more processing and underwriting work. Diego closes with predictions for the year ahead, including continued industry consolidation and the recent launch of HousingWire Intelligence, a new data and AI-powered platform for the housing market.

Whether you're a mortgage executive, technology leader, or industry analyst, this episode offers a grounded look at where AI adoption in housing stands today, and where it's headed next.
