This week on The Big Picture, hosts Rich Swerbinsky & Rob Chrisman welcome Eric Lapin, President of FormFree® to the show. The group dove into several pressing topics in the mortgage industry. They discussed the recent spike in mortgage rates following a stronger-than-expected jobs report and explored how the upcoming election, just 26 days away, could impact housing and the industry at large.

They also tackle the evolving challenges of climate risk in the mortgage space, as lenders and regulators adapt to environmental changes, and highlight recent developments in open banking.
