During Women's History Month, we celebrate the journeys of the incredible women leading NAF. Meet Kristin Ankeny Bickenbach, Executive Vice President of Secondary Marketing. Kristin worked tirelessly throughout college, gaining invaluable experience in the Defense and Banking sectors. In 2007, she entered the mortgage industry, where she faced the challenges of a tumultuous market head-on. Her six-month associate development program took her across the country, immersing her in every facet of the loan business. This experience, coupled with her time at the trade desk, gave her a deep understanding of market dynamics. Today, Kristin's visionary leadership has been instrumental in building robust Capital Markets, Pricing, Finance, and Business Intelligence teams at NAF. Her advice to her younger self? "Take a deep breath and just relax. You’re meant to be here and are capable." #WomensHistoryMonth #HERStory #WomeninLeadership #WomeninMortgage #MortgageLeaders #NAFNation

Our very own CEO Patty Arvielo MADE THE COVER of Inc. Magazine! This is a huge moment—not just for Patty, but for all the incredible women who have spent years building and shaping this industry.

Congratulations, Patty, on this well-deserved honor! #FemaleFounders500

The latest indicators point to a slowdown in growth over the short term, as seen in softening inflation readings and weakening labor markets. This should help bring down borrowing costs and give the Federal Reserve the data support it needs to cut rates, assuming these trends continue to hold.

Property tax rates vary greatly across the country, with the average homebuyer shelling out $2,969 per year in property taxes, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Where did the trailblazing women in leadership at NAF get their start? For Shannon Robinson, our SVP of Reverse Division, it all started with homemade cookies. Twenty years ago, Shannon began her career at a small lender in Sacramento, California. She worked the front desk and baked cookies to welcome clients, helping them fill out forms. A top producer took Shannon under her wing, and after two years, she introduced her to a reverse mortgage startup. There, she honed her skills in marketing, onboarding, and system support. Over the years, she moved up in her career to leadership positions, working with incredible people in the mortgage industry. “Today, I’m with the best of the best! New American Funding is home. Surrounded by strategic leaders, a vibrant culture, talented loan officers, and led by two of the most dedicated women in the industry, Patty Arvielo and Christy Bunce, I’m proud to be part of an organization that dominates through purpose, passion, and integrity.” #WomensHistoryMonth #HERStory #WomeninLeadership #WomeninMortgage #Marketing #MarketingLeaders #NAFNation
