What does success look like in a market that’s still finding its footing? In this conversation, HousingWire President Diego Sanchez sits down with Joseph Panebianco, CEO and President of AnnieMac Home Mortgage, to unpack how strong leadership teams are redefining performance as the industry moves deeper into 2026.
Panebianco shares how AnnieMac continued to grow while much of the market focused on survival, why disciplined investment and thoughtful M&A have been central to that growth, and how lenders should think about execution as potential tailwinds emerge. From production forecasting to integration strategy, this conversation offers a clear-eyed look at what separates good lenders from best-in-class operators in the next phase of the cycle.
