In the past year, 香草传媒 has significantly expanded its use of artificial intelligence (AI), building it into every aspect of the homeownership journey. Focusing on AI is already benefiting both 香草传媒’s servicing team and clients, resulting in first call resolutions of more than 60% and creating stronger relationships between the company and its clients.

This intuitive option has resulted in 78% of 香草传媒 clients becoming completely paperless compared to the industry average of 30%.

While the homebuying process takes around 30 days, a client could work with a mortgage servicer for decades over the life of several mortgages.
