“I
made
the
move
to
Rate
after
spending
time
with
their
tech,”
Carter
said.
“The
loan
officer
and

consumer
apps
are
on
another
level,
and
once
I
saw
how
the
whole
platform
works,
it
was
obvious
how
it
could
help
me
grow
my
business.”

“The
technology
is
phenomenal,
and
what
I
can
offer
my
borrowers
and
referral
partners
is
top-notch,”
Hunt
said.
“Further,
there
are
not
a
lot
of
mortgage
companies
that
foster

women
in
leadership
like
Rate
does.
I
am
excited
to
grow
and
learn
from
some
amazing
women
in
this
industry.”

Rate
said
the
hires
reflect
a
broader
industry
trend
of
top
producers
seeking
platforms
that
reduce
operational
friction
and
allow
them
to
focus
more
on
borrowers
and
referral
partners.

The
announcement
is
not
the
first
time
employees
from
Movement
have
joined
Rate
and
vice
versa.
In
October,

Jason
Stenger,
Movement’s
former
chief
operations
officer,
joined
Rate
as
chief
production
officer.

Movement
Mortgage
did
not
respond
to

HousingWire‘s
request
for
comment
at
the
time
of
publication.

“Loan
officers
across
the
country
are
seeing
what’s
different
about
working
at
Rate,”
said

Shant
Banosian,
the
company’s
president.
“We’re
focused
on
helping
LOs
grow
their
volume,
and
everything
we
do
is
designed
with
that
in
mind.
From
our
tech
and
workflows
to
our
products,
pricing,
and
support,
it
all
comes
back
to
one
idea:
loan
officers
should
be
spending
their
time
with
borrowers
and
referral
partners,
not
buried
in
busywork.”

Rate
ranked

lenders
with
