Welcome to The Chrisman Commentary, your go-to daily mortgage news podcast, where industry insights meet expert analysis.

Whether you're a seasoned professional or just looking to stay informed, you'll get clear, concise breakdowns of market trends and economic shifts that impact the mortgage world.
In today’s episode, we discuss international headlines that are impacting rate markets domestically. Plus, Robbie sits down with U.S. Bank’s Shelly Kobb and Ohio Housing’s Tom Walker on how Housing Finance Agencies work, the challenges they face in expanding affordable homeownership, the policy and political developments shaping their future, and the innovations and outreach strategies needed to keep their programs sustainable, effective, and accessible.

Today's podcast is presented by Two Dots. Whether it’s applying to rent an apartment or take out a loan, today’s approval process is full of blind spots and inefficiencies. Critical data sits locked inside documents, leaving companies with an incomplete picture that causes delays, increased risk, and inconsistent decisions. Two Dots is building a better system. One where underwriting and screening is automated not manual. Where applications happen in real-time within a dynamic and contextual conversation. And where better decisions are made faster for everyone.
