Waterstone Mortgage taps Friday Harbor for AI underwriting
"Cleaner files mean our underwriting team can focus on high-value risk decisions instead of clearing avoidable conditions, Jake Rowoldt, vice president of information services at Waterstone Mortgage, said in a statement."
"Friday Harbor's software analyzes loan files during origination to flag missing documents, surface income calculation issues and identify potential underwriting conditions."
"Waterstone approached this implementation with a clear understanding of what they needed: a way to improve file quality without disrupting their workflows or undermining the expertise of their underwriters, Friday Harbor CEO Theo Ellis said."
"Their success demonstrates what becomes possible when lenders use AI to support judgment rather than replace it."
Waterstone has reported improved preapproval confidence, quicker file resolution, and fewer underwriting conditions since implementing Friday Harbor's AI solution. This technology analyzes loan files to identify missing documents and potential issues early in the process. Integrated with Waterstone's existing systems, it allows loan officers to address problems proactively. The implementation aims to enhance file quality while preserving underwriter expertise. The success of this approach highlights the potential of AI to support decision-making in lending operations.
