Southern California’s mortgage market rewards MLOs who stay current on product strategy as much as on rates. The California Mortgage Expo in Pasadena provides a focused day of industry education and direct lender access at the Hilton Pasadena on November 17.
To attend the event at no cost, use promo code ADFREE at registration.
A Packed Agenda
Registration opens at 7:30 AM, with sessions running from 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM. This year’s lineup covers a wide range of practical ground:
- Learn how to secure Builder and Realtor Preferred Lender status, and how to structure Jumbo loans up to $10 million with pricing that competes.
- Get an inside look at a lender running its underwriting entirely on AI, with closings measured in minutes instead of days.
- Walk through the tech and wholesale partnerships behind one of the highest-volume MLO practices in the country.
- Or go deep on Non-QM strategy, from borrower scenarios to where the product category is headed next.
From 1:00 to 4:00 PM, the Exhibit Hall opens with time built in for one-on-one conversations. Speak with wholesale lenders directly and ask about program specifics that don’t show up on a rate sheet.
If you already have a specific scenario in mind, submit it. Our Account Executive will personally work through it with you.
NMLS Continuing Education
MLOs who need to complete their annual license renewal can register for the optional 8-hour CE class on November 18. MaxClass provides the class, covering the 7-hour CORE requirement and a 1-hour California State Elective.
Pre-register to secure your spot! To qualify for entry, collect stamps from every exhibitor in your Exhibit Hall Passport during the main event. Seats are limited, and you cannot get added on the day of the class.
AD Mortgage at the California Mortgage Expo
Rene Sanchez, Mark Buratt, and Chris Bryson will be at the AD Mortgage booth on November 17. They work with MLOs on the deals that need a closer look, from layered documentation to borrower profiles that don’t fit a standard box.
Stop by and walk through a specific file, compare program options side by side, or get a clearer picture of how AD Mortgage handles Non-QM and Jumbo scenarios. It’s a direct conversation with experts who can move your file forward.
