Organize Around What Technology Cannot Do: Elio Mortgage’s AI-First Approach | Ep. 667

Oren Michaely left private equity to build Elio Mortgage, raising $5 million to rethink how home loans get made. In this episode, he explains why Elio built its mortgage platform from the ground up, bringing loan officers and engineers together to redesign the work behind every loan. At the heart of Elio’s approach is a clear division of labor: AI handles much of the preparation, such as calculating income and organizing borrower documents, while people review the results and approve decisions. Oren explains how that model could reduce the time loan officers spend navigating portals and paperwork, and give them more time to guide borrowers through the process. He also shares a glimpse of mortgage lending in 2030, when technology may reshape how originators work and what borrowers expect. Dustin Owen and Oren explore what that shift could mean for today’s loan officers, how the role may evolve, and why waiting until 2030 to adapt may be too late.
