Episode notes
Scale Meets Tech-Led Mortgage Leadership
- Rocket is the largest lender in the U.S. because it led every digital transformation in mortgages.
- The company pairs legacy scale with tech-first execution to drive low-cost, personalized home financing.
Building A Homeownership Super Funnel
- Rocket's acquisitions of Redfin and Mr. Cooper aim to connect top-of-funnel search, origination, and servicing into one 'super funnel'.
- That integrated data and relationship flywheel should lower acquisition cost and improve lifetime value.
Recapture Powers Better Economics
- Combining servicing and origination creates a recapture advantage and persistent client interactions.
- Rocket expects higher recapture to translate into much better LTV-to-CAC economics versus the industry.
