Fireside Chat with Mark McArdle

Published on May 7, 2025

SFA’s Dallin Merrill sits down with Mark McArdle, SVP of Regulatory Affairs and Public Policy at NewRez and former Associate Director of Mortgage Markets at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. In their 30-minute fireside chat, hear them discuss:

  • The current environment in Washington D.C., and what personnel changes under the Trump Administration mean for public policy and the housing market.
  • The state of mortgage servicing, including codifying COVID policies, the expiration of VASP, and the role of FHA in standardizing loss mitigation.
  • The reality of “higher for longer” mortgage rates, and the approach that originators can take to meet consumers where they are at in the market
  • The role of private capital now, and in a future where the GSEs may be privatized.
