Episode 56: Turning Mortgage Data Into Smarter Decisions with Connor Dudas

Episode 56: Turning Mortgage Data Into Smarter Decisions with Connor Dudas

Author: Matt Coles September 2, 2026 Duration: 23:34

What happens when mortgage professionals stop simply collecting data and start using it to make smarter decisions?

In this episode, host Matt Coles sits down with Connor Dudas, National Account Executive at First American Solutions, to explore how data, technology, and AI are changing the way mortgage companies operate, make decisions, and serve their customers.

Matt and Connor also dive into the growing role of AI and ChatGPT in the mortgage industry. They discuss how mortgage professionals can use AI to prepare for customer objections, analyze complex information, create thought leadership content, and improve everyday productivity. They also examine how today's homebuyers are using AI themselves to evaluate rates, loan estimates, closing disclosures, and the overall deals being presented to them.

3 key takeaways:
1️⃣ Good Data Drives Better Decisions: Whether you're originating loans, managing servicing portfolios, or building a recapture strategy, the quality of your inputs matters.
2️⃣ AI Is Changing Both Sides of the Mortgage Conversation: Mortgage professionals can use tools like ChatGPT to anticipate objections, analyze information, and improve productivity—but borrowers are using the same technology to evaluate rates, disclosures, and offers.
3️⃣ Connected Technology Creates Opportunity: When data, documents, title, settlement, and other mortgage technologies work together, lenders can eliminate unnecessary data entry, improve workflows, and identify new opportunities across the lending lifecycle.
