MORTGAGE TECH INDUSTRY UPDATE – Summer's Not So Slow After All 🚨

In this episode of Mortgage Tech Talks, we’re diving into the latest movements shaking up the Canadian mortgage technology space. From Pineapple Financial’s dramatic stock rebound to M3 Tech’s broker-first narrative and Pine’s continued success with a borrower-first approach — this one is full of insights and analysis you don’t want to miss.

We revisit past stories, assess how they’ve played out, and challenge some of the industry’s assumptions around whether building great tech is really enough to win in today’s market.

📌 Key Themes Covered:

  • Is "great tech" enough for brokerages?

  • M3’s broker-first claims – marketing or mission?

  • Pineapple’s stock surge – real growth or financial maneuvering?

  • Pine’s Properly tool vs. HouseSigma – feature-by-feature breakdown

  • Strategic bets: should platforms serve brokers, broker-owners, or borrowers?
