Emerging mortgage lender company
REZYFi (stylized as “RZFI”) is building toward a planned launch for its product, which targets hard-to-finance lending markets in addition to traditional real estate consumers and includes a developing proprietary technology that will underscore its economy in turnaround time and staffing.
Housing prices rose at a record 43 percent appreciation during the height of the pandemic as the U.S. workforce reconsidered career priorities and quality of life issues, often seeking greener pastures with the hope of greater remote work opportunities (

As a result of the economic pressures, a number of mortgage lenders have gone bankrupt, particularly among non-qualified (non-QM or NQM) lenders that cater to businesses and consumers that struggle to get a qualified mortgage loan (

REZYFi’s 100 percent-owned subsidiaries — REZYFi Lending and ResMac Inc. — have felt the pressure as well, but are emerging as models of how companies can survive and emerge stronger.
“We’re not the most expensive, and we’re not the least expensive lender. We really pride ourselves on delivering execution and service, really not getting into the price battle, because we’re not a large company with a large balance sheet that can buy down prices and compete on price,” ResMac’s Chief People Officer Evan Tullos told HW Media this month (

Tullos noted the company’s efforts to manage efficient staffing levels and expand its products and services into more commercial markets as part of its growth strategy. A significant segment of the commercial market is state-licensed operators in the cannabis industry, which have long struggled to obtain traditional loans and other banking services despite the boom they’ve enjoyed in recent years as state-by-state legalization efforts have advanced (

RZFI plans to launch a high-margin cannabis division later this year, during its Q4 reporting period, further signs of its expectations for its growth strategy. The company is licensed in more than 30 U.S. states and expects to expand to all remaining states.
The company has invested heavily in designing, building and implementing proprietary automated/machine learning technology to increase efficiencies and improve its outcomes, making it possible to operate its legacy business at staffing levels “meaningfully below those of its competitors,” according to the company.
