Why This Partnership Is Making Waves (And Why You Need to See It!)

The collaboration between NEXA Mortgage and Tidal Wave is a natural fit. Tidal Wave's mission is to "shift left," engaging with borrowers early to perfect files and streamline the entire process downstream. NEXA, constantly seeking ways to improve their loan officers' lives, recognized that TidalWave had a unique approach that no one else offered.

Many companies talk about AI, but few have truly "moved the needle". Here’s what makes TidalWave, and this partnership, fundamentally different and why it's critical to watch the full video:

  • Beyond the Chatbot: TidalWave isn't just an AI chatbot; it's a fully integrated system designed to truly solve problems and create solutions. This comprehensive approach took two years to build.

  • Doing the Work FOR You: Instead of adding tasks, Tidal Wave's AI is built to take away tasks and actually do the work for you. This requires deep integration, which Tidal Wave has achieved with credit, asset, bank statement evaluation, Fannie, and Freddie systems.

  • Built for Brokers: Unlike other AI companies that focused only on IMBs (Independent Mortgage Banks), Tidal Wave was willing to listen and adapt to the fragmented brokerage environment, making this solution accessible even to smaller brokerages. Their openness to feedback was a key factor in forging this powerful partnership.

A New Era for Loan Officers: More Sales, Less Paperwork!

Loan officers (LOs) are natural salespeople and socializers, but they often get bogged down by tedious paperwork and mundane tasks. This partnership is set to change that dramatically:

  • Focus on What You Love: The AI will put loan officers directly into what they enjoy most – interacting with clients and selling.

  • Eliminate Frustration: AI doesn't lose focus, nor does it get frustrated with mundane tasks or piecemeal conditions, unlike humans.

  • Massive Productivity Boost: LOs will be able to handle "10 times as many loans" by simply driving more people to the AI platform. This frees them to socialize, attend events, and grow their business exponentially.

  • Rapid Deployment: NEXA was able to launch with Tidal Wave in just two weeks, a record-breaking achievement.

Empowering Borrowers: Direct Access & Real-Time Approvals!

The benefits aren't just for professionals; the borrower experience is also set for an enormous upgrade:

  • Direct Interaction with Your Loan: Borrowers can log into the system themselves and "talk to their own loan," asking what's needed and working directly with the AI to secure financing.

  • Faster, Seamless Process: Imagine getting pre-approval and mortgage applications in real-time at the point of interaction. This is TidalWave CEO Diane Yu’s dream, and this partnership is bringing it to life.

The Future Is Now: Don't Be Left Behind!

As Mike Kortas put it, if you don't get involved in this now, you risk "being extinct tomorrow". This partnership is set to change the entire TPO (Third-Party Originator) sector, ensuring brokers are no longer left out of crucial front-end innovations.

This is just the beginning of a truly exciting journey for NEXA Mortgage, TidalWave, loan officers, and borrowers across the nation.
