"From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked." - Luke 12:48When the housing market collapsed in 2008, more than 10 million Americans experienced crashing home values and foreclosures. But out of that financial chaos, a new company arose with a mission to do things differently. Harlan Accola joins us today to talk about it.Harlan Accola is the National Reverse Mortgage Director at Movement Mortgage, which is an underwriter of this program. He is also the author of Home Equity and Reverse Mortgages: The Cinderella of the Baby Boomer Retirement. A Vision Born in CrisisMovement Mortgage stands out in the world of residential lending for more than its exceptional service. Founded during the tumultuous 2008 housing crisis, this company has defied the odds, growing into one of the largest mortgage providers in the nation. With financial institutions collapsing and the housing market in turmoil, Casey Crawford, a former NFL player, saw an opportunity to do things differently. Together with mentor Toby Harris, Casey envisioned a company that would not only provide world-class mortgage services but also glorify God and give back to communities. This bold vision became the bedrock of Movement Mortgage.Faith at the CoreCasey Crawford's faith played a pivotal role in shaping the mission of Movement Mortgage. Having witnessed poverty and systemic challenges across the nation, Casey felt called to address the needs of the disadvantaged. Inspired by the legacy of Christians historically building hospitals and schools, he sought to create a company that would embody these values in modern times. Movement Mortgage was designed to be more than a business—it was a vehicle to serve “the least of these” and bring hope to struggling communities.Innovative Programs with PurposeFrom the beginning, Movement Mortgage has been about more than profits:Love Works Program: Employees contribute to a fund to assist colleagues in times of need, fostering a culture of mutual support. Grace Works Grants: These grants provide resources to hundreds of organizations nationwide, impacting local communities directly.Despite its unique mission, Movement's success is rooted in its ability to deliver exceptional service. By prioritizing faster, better, and more efficient mortgage processes, Movement has earned trust and loyalty from clients and industry professionals alike. This commitment to excellence has attracted top talent and allowed the company to thrive.Transforming Lives Through the Movement FoundationCentral to Movement's impact is the Movement Foundation, which channels 50% of the company's profits into charitable initiatives. This unprecedented commitment has resulted in $377 million given to transformative causes worldwide. Some key initiatives include:Movement Schools: Seven charter schools in underserved areas provide free, high-quality education. These schools aim to break cycles of poverty by equipping children and families with resources for success. Disaster Relief: Whether it's distributing water to homeless populations during heatwaves or aiding hurricane recovery efforts, Movement responds to crises with compassion and action. Global Outreach: From clean water projects in Uganda to combating sex trafficking in Thailand, the Movement Foundation's global reach demonstrates its commitment to being the hands and feet of Jesus.Movement Mortgage's impact extends beyond financial transactions. Employees are encouraged to participate in vision trips and engage with the communities they serve. These experiences not only foster personal growth but also bring tangible hope to those in need. By aligning profits with purpose, Movement has cultivated a team united by a shared mission.Why Movement Mortgage?Choosing Movement Mortgage means more than securing a home loan. It's an opportunity to contribute to life-changing work, both locally and globally. Each mortgage funds efforts to combat poverty, provide education, and restore dignity to vulnerable populations.Movement Mortgage embodies the idea that business can be a force for good. With its unwavering commitment to excellence and dedication to advancing God's Kingdom, Movement is redefining what it means to lead with faith in the marketplace.To discover how Movement Mortgage can serve your home financing needs while supporting impactful initiatives, visit movement.com/faith.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 61 years old and currently drive about a 2-hour round-trip to work.

The conversation also touches on the impact of COVID-19 on real estate tech investments and the future of venture capital in the space. We also explore the role of real estate agents in a changing market and the impact of technology on the industry (spoiler: uncertainty exists, but so will the agent). More about Nima and Thomvest VenturesNima has published his 2024 proptech themes and would love to discuss them with you. Here is the link to the full report: https://blog.thomvest.com/real-estate-technology-themes-were-tracking-in-2024-124a5280c3ddBelow is a very quick overview of the three key themes that will play a dominant role in 2024 for Nima.“Control point” software businesses in real estate: These crucial systems are core to how businesses operate and are difficult to displace. Three strategies for new entrants to compete in this space include targeting new customer segments, building value around existing control points, and selling complete tasks or processes instead of just software tools.AI's impact on construction productivity: There is growing excitement around startups focused on using AI in various aspects of construction, from pre-development analysis and permitting automation to design cycle shortening and physical robot automation on construction sites.Residential real estate in a post-NAR world: Following the NAR settlement on residential real estate, lower commissions may lead to agents seeking efficiency measures and could pose challenges for existing real estate companies, while also creating opportunities for innovation and competition in the industry.Nima Wedlake is a Managing Director at Thomvest Ventures, focusing on investment opportunities across the real estate & financial technology verticals. He spearheaded Thomvest's investments in Baselane, Blend, Glide (acquired by Compass), Keyway, Maxwell, Mynd, Obie, Pine & Tala. Thomvest Ventures is a San Francisco-based $750M evergreen venture capital fund by Peter Thomson (Thomson Reuters). Follow Nima on TwitterConnect with Nima on LinkedInCheck out Thomvest
