The Pap Corps Donates $2 Million to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center

DEERIELD BEACH, Fla. -- Overcoming the numerous obstacles imposed by the pandemic, The Pap Corps Champions for Cancer Research displayed their indomitable spirit during their May Presidents Zoom meeting when they announced a $2 million donation to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. The nonprofit has made numerous multimillion dollar donations to support research at South Florida's only NCI Designated cancer center; however, this year's gift required tremendous determination and innovative fundraising.

"I cannot tell you how grateful I am for the way our board and our 20,000 members rallied during these difficult times," said Susan Dinter, chair of The Pap Corps. "While COVID-19 stopped many things, it did not stop cancer or our members! I am so proud of the incredible resourcefulness of our wonderful volunteers and am thrilled that during National Cancer Research Month we were able to make this substantial donation."

Pap Corps members, throughout all 50 chapters, created virtual versions of their usual fundraisers and also developed new strategies, events and campaigns to raise money. In addition, the launch of the Giving Train monthly donation program, brick and bench sales at The Garden of Hope in Deerfield Beach and the growth of events in Palm Beach helped the organization develop new paths for fundraising.

During the Zoom meeting, Dr. Stephen Nimer, Director of Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center spoke to the members and thanked them for their commitment and generosity.

"While we were unable to gather in person for this check presentation, I know everyone felt a tremendous sense of accomplishment," stated Sally Berenzweig, who assumed the role of CEO in January 2021. "Working with these incredible volunteers during the past months has truly been an inspiration, and I look forward to what we will achieve during the months ahead."

ABOUT THE PAP CORPS

Since its founding in 1952, The Pap Corps has donated more than $110 million to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, including a historic $50 million pledge in 2016 dedicating The Pap Corps Campus at Sylvester in Deerfield Beach. The Pap Corps derives its name from Dr. George Papanicolaou, a pioneer in cytopathology and early cancer detection, who introduced the world to the revolutionary 'Pap' test. A small group of women began the organization to support his efforts, and over the decades it has grown into an organization of over 20,000 men and women, in over 50 chapters, who raise funds to support all types of cancers.

MCT Introduces BAM Marketplace, the First Truly Open Mortgage Loan Exchange

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT®), a leading mortgage hedge advisory and secondary marketing software firm, announced the public introduction of BAM Marketplace™. Originally launched to support existing MCT sellers during the 2020 pandemic liquidity crisis, BAM Marketplace now welcomes new buyers and sellers as the world's first truly open loan exchange between unapproved counterparties.

In the early days of the pandemic, investors bought fewer loans and sellers ran into liquidity issues, especially for specific loan characteristics such as low-FICO government. BAM Marketplace connected distressed sellers with would-be buyers, particularly agency-approved lenders within the MCT client base, some without previous correspondent investing experience. The ability to transact with unapproved counterparties, combined with API-driven automated live pricing, allowed these new buyers to provide a top-tier correspondent experience and quickly build a base of sellers. Today, BAM Marketplace provides quantifiable benefits to lenders of every size for loans of every type.

Sellers benefit by reducing liquidity constraints, growing investor outlets, and increasing loan sale profitability. MCT clients have noted materially improved execution across all loan types. The average spread to cover bids on BAM Marketplace is thirty-two basis points, with that spread extending to forty-six basis points for government production and eighty-nine basis points for low-FICO government loans. Sellers are also finding new outlets for non-owner occupied and second home loans - a key focus area given the new agency limits on such production.

"Gone are the days of a finite set of approved investors, not knowing who has an axe, and incomplete information on who may offer the best price. BAM Marketplace targets systemic issues of limited liquidity and slow turn times for pricing and also helps minimize a lender's exposure to crises and regulatory changes," said Curtis Richins, President at MCT. "It's the only loan exchange where sellers can receive executable bids from unapproved buyers. Through our patent-pending 'security spread commitment', MCT firmly holds its position as the gold standard in best execution and moves one step closer to the ultimate goal - when every loan can be priced by every investor."

Buyers benefit from BAM Marketplace through efficient access to the industry's largest community of sellers and the ability to bid on loans offered by unapproved lenders. Agency-approved lenders can now find unique buying opportunities, even without the prior experience or cost calculations typically associated with launching a correspondent lending channel. MCT's AutoBidTM bid tape pricing solution supports every BAM Marketplace buyer, allowing them to provide automated, algorithm-based live pricing that can be fine-tuned to each seller and loan characteristic.

"By extending the Bid Auction Manager (BAM®) platform, MCT has unlocked additional liquidity and created a turn-key, digital purchasing solution," said Phil Rasori, Chief Operating Officer, MCT. "Proprietary, patent-pending functionality enables immediate access to 'biddable' loan collateral offered by MCT's client base-the largest in the industry."

For MCT clients, BAM Marketplace is part of our core offering with no additional cost or set-up required. It is also available as a stand-alone platform for non-clients.

On June 10, two of MCT's key innovators, Phil Rasori and Justin Grant, will provide a demonstration of the platform and details on the new security spread commitment type. Registration for the webinar is required and easily completed by visiting the BAM Marketplace Industry Webinar registration page: https://mct-trading.com/mct-webinar-introducing-bam-marketplace/.

(MCT) has grown from a boutique mortgage pipeline hedging firm into the industry's leading provider of fully integrated capital markets services and technology.

Community Housing Partnership Announces Name Change to HomeRise

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- Community Housing Partnership announced today that it has changed its name to HomeRise. More than 30 years ago, the norm for helping someone experiencing homelessness was to put them up in a small, furnished room and hope for the best. That changed when nonprofit housing developers and homelessness advocates came together and formed Community Housing Partnership.

We were founded on the simple yet powerful idea that providing a home combined with support services could provide the stability a person needs to escape homelessness for good. This idea, known as supportive housing, will continue to be at the heart of what HomeRise does.

But it hasn't always been easy, especially these past few years. The changing economy coupled with competition for housing pushed more people onto the streets. More people felt like things were moving in the wrong direction. Then, the pandemic showed us how many more of our neighbors were already living on the brink. News coverage called our city a failure. The human suffering became too much to bear. And San Francisco began to lose hope.

"HomeRise is our antidote to lost hope. It is the power of a stable home to help a person rise up from their circumstances after life has knocked them down. HomeRise is when everyday San Franciscans rise up and play their part to make a difference," said Rick Aubry, CEO of HomeRise.

If there's one thing we've learned from our past 30 years, it's that rising up and working together is where hope comes from. At HomeRise, we believe that together, we can change lives and rebuild this city we love.

About HomeRise:

HomeRise is the leading nonprofit in San Francisco helping people experiencing homelessness rise up and transform their lives. Our mission is built on a simple-but-powerful idea: We combine housing with support services, like mental health services and job training, and empower our residents to advocate for local policies that create long-term change. We believe a home has the power to stabilize a person's life - helping people to improve their health, cook for their family, find a job, begin paying rent, feel a sense of dignity, and contribute to the community.

Together with our supporters, we are changing lives and rebuilding the neighborhoods and city that we love. Each year, HomeRise's supportive housing transforms the lives of more than 1,900 adults, children, seniors, and veterans who experienced homelessness. The impact is long-lasting: 98% of our past and present residents who experienced homelessness stay housed. To learn how you can rise up and make a difference, visit: https://homerisesf.org/.

5X Solutions Adds Compensation Analysis to their Mortgage Business Intelligence Platform

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- 5X Solutions, LLC, a mortgage business intelligence and data analytics company, has announced the addition of loan agent compensation analysis to its automated financial reporting and mortgage business intelligence software.

Users of Telemetry BI now have complete visibility to the commissions paid to loan officers. This includes loan-level details, dollars paid, and basis points (bps) for each transaction. In the past, accounting personnel would generate reports manually via spreadsheets, only to have them challenged by loan agents and branch managers questioning the underlying numbers. In other cases, the client risked overpayment due to manual mistakes or incomplete data.

This new reporting tool provides post-payment audit capabilities to accounting and financial staff. Reports are generated automatically by integrating data from the client's loan origination software (LOS) and their accounting system. Compensation is calculated based on units closed, funded amounts, loan types, referrals, and loan assistants, providing transparency and timely access via on-demand compensation analytics.

Corporate executives, branch managers, regional managers, and individual loan officers can view compensation details relevant to them in real-time. This eliminates the need for the constant back-and-forth between accounting staff and loan agents to validate results and answer questions.

A planned release of prepayment commission and bonus reporting for the entire company including loan processors, underwriters, and other staff members will add efficiency and transparency to the mortgage operation. Details can be viewed before payments are made to ensure that commissions and bonuses are correct. This enhances Telemetry MBI's existing Marketing and Expense program that enables loan officers to benefit by claiming pre-tax expenses related to generating business.

Telemetry MBI's new compensation analysis complements existing financial reports, KPIs, performance dashboards, and analytics to provide a 360-degree view of a mortgage business's operational health. Adoption of this feature by clients has exceeded expectations. 5X Solutions' Co-Founder John Beneventi says "Compensation analysis rounds out Telemetry MBI's automated financial reporting capabilities by offering managers the ability to drill down on details and explore trends around each loan officer's performance and compensation."

Swift Homes Makes It Easy For North Carolina Homeowners to Sell Their Houses As-Is on A Convenient Timeline

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- With the ability to guide sellers through their straightforward process and close transactions in a quick and hassle-free manner, Swift Homes is in a unique position to help homeowners throughout North Carolina sell their properties with ease. Swift Homes' time-tested and methodical approach has rapidly become invaluable for sellers in all kinds of situations.

Swift Homes is a renowned real estate buyer for numerous reasons:

- By purchasing homes and then renting them out, they consistently provide competitive offers.

- The knowledgeable and highly dedicated Swift Homes team has more than 20 years of industry experience.

- The team behind Swift Homes has completed transactions on more than 5,000 properties with an emphasis on single-family homes.

- Backed by a multi-billion-dollar private equity fund, Swift has at its disposal the financial resources needed to buy any home in cash.

- Based in downtown Chicago, Swift Homes buys properties in North Carolina and throughout the continental United States.

When working with real estate wholesalers or flippers, homeowners often have to accept unfairly low prices. Wholesalers are also known to reduce their offers or back out of transactions completely at the last minute due to insufficient funds. Swift Homes is able to offer sellers a great price and close on the seller's timeline.

Sellers engaging in conventional property sales have to contend with inconvenient showings with many people entering their home as well as a timeline in flux. Many purchasers will have to severely delay closing based on a mortgage loan approval that the seller has no control over. There is also the risk of receiving unacceptably low offers or no offers at all. When repairs are needed prior to closing, it's the sellers that often have to assume responsibility for the time and cost to repair. On top of all that, contractually-obligated buyers sometimes renege on deals toward the end of the process, effectively wasting months of the seller's valuable time and potentially thousands of dollars. With Swift Homes, sellers can close on their timeline and Swift will take care of all the repairs after closing.

Why so many North Carolina sellers work with Swift Homes:

- They operate in 100+ markets around the US, encompassing thousands of cities.

- Swift Homes makes cash offers without requiring a visit to the property.

- They have the ability to close on the seller's desired timeline.

- Swift handles all necessary repair work.

- They have an advantageous program where sellers can remain in their homes by renting them back from Swift.

- Swift Homes has the ability to make the purchase even if the seller has an investment home with tenants, as the homes are bought to make available for rent.

- Swift Homes has 250+ reviews with an average rating of 4.5. They have 160+ 5-star reviews.

Client Testimonials provide a clear indication of what it's like to choose the cash home buyers at Swift Homes. Dalceada W., who sold to Swift Homes in South Carolina, said, "Swift Homes reached out to me right away. They communicated with me every step of the way. It was painless. They took great care of me. They even found an experienced notary to handle my closing paperwork. The process went very smoothly and quickly. Kudos to their entire team. I highly recommend them."

Heal Vet, a Watertown veterinary clinic known for its gentle touch, goes green and helps offset the costs of running a small business

ARLINGTON, Mass. -- Founded by husband-and-wife team Jamie and Amanda Leef in 2017, Heal Vet is located in the Mount Auburn neighborhood intersecting Cambridge, Belmont and Watertown MA. Heal's staff of 20 provides full pet care services in a low-stress environment. In creating Heal's offices, the team used low carbon and nontoxic building materials whenever possible. Their new 48 panel solar electric system, designed and installed by Arlington-based SunBug Solar, is the finishing touch on an environmentally-conscious workplace.

Dr. Amanda Leef's role as owner and doctor of veterinary medicine is hands-on with the animals, while Jamie's job as general manager tasks him to "steer the ship towards success." Jamie's former career in green building and solar energy helped him understand the value a business can derive from owning their own power source on their roof. And his experience installing solar systems for other businesses prepared him for the long utility approval and permitting process.

"What's great about SunBug is that they've been around a long time, and the people they have working in their design and construction have so much experience solving problems," Leef said. "They manage complications properly, and quickly offered insight into how to install a special transformer for my site's unusual electrical configuration. It's one reason to hire a reputable local company. They happen to know the local inspector really well and how best to contact him, and how to file a dispute with local utility companies if it comes to that."

The 19 kW system provides Heal with 75% of the energy they use a year. Energy bills were around $8000 a year which is typical of a small business with a lot of medical supplies. Not only does installing a PV system reduce utility costs, but it also means that their budget line for electricity is shielded from the rising costs of electricity. As a business, Heal takes advantage of federal tax credits and accelerated depreciation on the investment, reducing the initial cost by over 50%. The strategy is perfect for a resilient small business.

Another addition to the project includes a charging station for electric vehicles. Customers and neighbors alike have been happy to take advantage of green electricity in their community. Leef was even inspired to get an electric car for himself. "A Chevrolet Bolt," Leaf said. "Really the nicest car to drive."

Heal Vet is a full service companion animal hospital located in the Mount Auburn neighborhood. They provide comprehensive services including wellness, urgent care, surgery, dentistry, and specialists. Their specially designed modern facility and staff trained in low-stress animal handling techniques provides you and your pet with a better experience. Learn more here: https://www.heal.vet/.

SunBug Solar is a local, Massachusetts owned-and-operated solar energy consulting and installation company with offices in Arlington and Westfield, MA. SunBug Solar creates positive environmental and social impact by exemplifying our core values of responsiveness, resourcefulness, and reliability with our customers, within our industry, and among our teammates.
