Visio Lending to share expertise at Originator Connect 2026. Industry leader james Webb to speak on loan strategies and how originators can earn repeat investor business. Austin, TX, Aug. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Mortgage brokers and originators will convene in Las Vegas for the annual Originator Connect conference Aug. 13-16, and Visio Lending will be there to share its rental property lending expertise on stage and one-on-one with attendees. The prominent industry conference is expected to attract more than 2,000 mortgage professionals. James Webb, Visio Sales Manager, brings his deep experience in rental property lending to the panel, "Helping Investors Win With DSCR, Bridge Loans and Beyond," at 9:30 a.m. on Aug. 14. "Every investor's situation is different, and that's where experience matters," said Webb. "We tailor the structure of each DSCR loan to support an investor's long-term goals, whether they're acquiring their first rental or adding another property to an established portfolio. Because DSCR lending is all we do, we've worked through just about every scenario." The panel will also discuss mistakes that can kill a deal, and how to earn investors' repeat business. Having funded 1,000 loans over the past four years,* Webb has experience taking every type of deal to the finish line - and evolving into a trusted advisor. "A good broker becomes part of an investor's team. At Visio, we determine the best financial path to close and also ensure clients have ongoing support for successful long-term or short-term rentals," he said. "I've built relationships with numerous repeat clients. It's a great moment when they reach the point they quit their day job or bring the next generation into the investment portfolio." Webb will join the panel on the main stage and spend time at Booth #610 with the Visio team, connecting with brokers and originators and evaluating deal scenarios. Visio is debuting the company's new water bottle reading: "My lender asked me for proof of liquidity, so I brought my water bottle." It was born out of a contest for employees' children, who submitted handwritten and pencil-drawn ideas for new Visio swag. "We were blown away by their creativity and humor," Webb said.

Visio Lending COO Michele Kryczkowski offering strategies for the talent gap at OPSCON 2026. GlobeNewswire | Visio Financial Services, Inc Today at 6:30am PDT Austin, TX, May 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Mortgage industry leaders and innovators are gathering in Dallas for OPSCON 2026 on May 4 and 5, and Visio Lending Chief Operating Officer Michele Kryczkowski is sharing insights on hiring and retaining top talent. With more than 20 years of mortgage and operations experience, Kryczkowski will speak on a panel titled "Building Teams That Perform in Any Market," at 3 p.m. on May 4. Leveraging AI and automation of customer relationship management are top of mind these days, but she champions employees as the true root of any company's success. "We know the mortgage industry is marked by constant change; therefore, resilient teams that can deliver consistent results through any market conditions are essential," said Kryczkowski. "Attracting experienced and adaptable applicants is only part of the challenge. Enhancing the employee experience is key to retention and a positive work culture." There's a shortage of seasoned applicants across many business sectors, including finance. The mortgage industry saw widespread layoffs from 2022 to 2024, prompting many veteran mortgage professionals to leave in favor of more stable sectors. "Proven and innovative hiring, training and leadership strategies along with sound return-to-work and remote work policies will help address the current talent gap," Kryczkowski noted.
