This week on the Power House podcast, we sat down with Jason Pinson, the founder and CEO of Rocktop Technologies, a suite of fintech applications driven by AI and machine learning designed to manage risk on behalf of its clients and partners.
Rocktop — and Jason himself — are on a mission to tackle two significant issues in housing: the influx of poor and poorly managed data, and the error-prone processes that undermine asset quality and value. Today we are delving into Jason's career journey and thesis, starting from his days at Bear Stearns to his multi-decade crusade to enhance efficiency and returns for investors in the mortgage industry.
Clayton and Jason talk about Rocktop’s efforts aimed at preventing the errors and inefficiencies that reduce mortgage investors’ yields, a problem that ultimately makes housing less efficient and more expensive. They also talk about data standardization, the role of organizations like MISMO, and the expertise and talents behind successful AI and machine learning implementation.
Rocktop Technologies will be joining us on stage in Dallas on July 23rd for HousingWire’s AI Summit to explore even more of their focus on machine learning and how they plan to revolutionize the industry.
Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:
The mortgage market is hindered by poor data management and manual error-prone operations.
Data standardization is crucial for improving efficiency in the mortgage market.
A strong data strategy is essential for implementing AI and machine learning.
Combining domain expertise with technical talent is key to success in the mortgage industry.
Leading from the front and investing in employee upskilling are important for growth in a volatile market.

This week, we welcome Peter Maglathlin to the Power House podcast. Peter is the CEO of Sierra Interactive, an end-to-end real estate platform developing software and services for residential real estate agents, teams and brokers.

They also talk about the changes on the horizon for housing now that the NAR-settlement is close around the corner.
Listen to gain better insight into how those changes are not only directly affecting real estate professionals, but also the technology and investing spaces that have built the industry’s foundation.
Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:
Entrepreneurship involves a willingness to sell and the ability to meet customers where they are.
The cyclical nature of the real estate market is managed by holding assets for long durations, which typically leads to better performance.
Customer segmentation is important for prioritizing KPIs, as different segments have different needs.
The NAR settlement raises the bar for professionalism in the industry and may lead to a decrease in agent count.
Real estate software should focus on generating seller leads and creating connectivity between agents and consumers.
