Since its March 2024 Summit, L1 added 39 new members, enhanced its direct solution offerings, and added preferred vendors to support Lenders One's 25-year mission to help its members increase profitability by growing revenue, reducing costs, and improving decision making. The addition of these new members amid the current mortgage origination environment is a testament to the Lenders One team and value proposition.

Lenders One offers its members a variety of direct solutions, capital markets and national programs products and services to help its members better compete and increase their profitability. Lenders One direct solutions include credit, flood, fraud, insurance, verifications, fulfillment services, quality control, title and escrow, valuations and vendor management. More recently, Lenders One launched and refined some of its direct solutions to enhance the value proposition for its members:

• L1 Credit and Verifications.  L1 Credit, a full-service credit reporting agency, is regularly evolving and adding new products to its already robust offerings. This year the following solutions were made available to members:
  • ScoreNavigator^®: ScoreNavigator provides loan officers with access to a detailed analysis of a borrower's credit health to help streamline the mortgage qualification process by identifying viable candidates for mortgage approval.

The solution also features ServiceLink's exclusive CertMap^®, a high-quality map showing a subject property's proximity to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood zones with aerial images.
  
  
• L1 Insurance. Piloted in 2024, L1 Insurance is an innovative homeowner insurance solution that provides borrowers with multiple competitive quotes for the insurance coverage required to close their mortgage transaction.
