Listen Later

This week on the Power House podcast, Diego sits down with Tom Davis, the chief sales officer at Deephaven Mortgage. Deephaven has been a pioneer in the non-QM space since its founding in 2012, and Tom joins us today to talk about all things non-QM and 2025 market growth.


Deephaven’s non-QM focus accounted for $70 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow to over $80 billion in 2025. Tom talks about specializing in lending, market opportunities in a high-rate environment, and growing a second-lien product line. He also talks about focusing on investor and realtor relationships to unlock and capitalize on market share opportunities.


Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • In a high-rate environment, there are still opportunities for growth.
  • Home equity and second lien products are new key areas for growth.
  • Building relationships with investors can lead to multiple loan opportunities.
  • The supply-demand imbalance in housing presents opportunities for growth.
  • Targeting the top 5% of realtors can yield better results.
  • There is a significant need for renovation loans in the current market.
