\"FormFree
\nChandler\u2019s award marks another honor in what has been a banner year for FormFree. In addition to being named to the HW TECH100\u2122 in March, the company was announced as the first vendor for asset verification for Fannie Mae’s Day 1 Certainty\u2122 initiative. Through this initiative, lenders who use AccountChek for asset verification through Fannie Mae\u2019s Desktop Underwriter\u00ae (DU\u00ae) Validation Service will receive reps and warrants relief, beginning December 10, for the validated components of the loan.<\/p>\n

As the magazine noted in its December issue, \u201cThese leaders from all segments of the mortgage ecosphere demonstrate that our industry is more than capable of meeting the challenges that lie ahead. Our Vanguard winners excel in a variety of skill sets, but all share the ability to energize and mobilize their employees.\u201d<\/p>\n

“The HW Vanguards continued to impress going into its second year; the winners are second-to-none, and this list represents the finest cross section of mortgage talent available,” said Jacob Gaffney, HousingWire editor-in-chief.<\/p>\n

Winners were determined by the HousingWire editorial board, who evaluated nominees based on tangible leadership displayed within their companies and the industry at large. Of this year\u2019s winners, eight are founders of their company, and 23 serve as president\/CEO.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur industry\u2019s future is bright thanks to its diversity and willingness to innovate,\u201d Chandler said. \u201cIt is both humbling and gratifying to be included among this peer group receiving HousingWire\u2019s Vanguard Award.\u201d<\/p>\n
