This technology sets the standard for the entire housing industry. Utilizing a proactive approach, Armstrong anticipates industry trends and works to address the future needs of brokers and borrowers.

Building off the launch of TRAC in 2022, Armstrong and his team implemented TRAC+. It provides an alternative to the traditional title and closing process, creates a simpler process for independent mortgage brokers, and leads to significant savings for the borrower. This further streamlines the closing process by allowing UWM to handle everything throughout title review, closing and disbursement for a flat fee of $1,850. This groundbreaking process eliminates the need for brokers to work with a traditional title company or settlement agent, granting brokers more control and saving borrowers thousands of dollars.
