Housing News

Today’s guest is John Paasonen, the CEO and co-founder of Maxwell, a venture-backed startup focused on making the mortgage experience simple, human and intuitive. Dedicated Housing News listeners might recall John’s appearance on the show back in December 2022 to have an entrepreneur-to-entrepreneur conversation with Clayton about Maxwell and his business strategy. In today’s conversion, Clayton and John discuss a lot of the fascinating data and client interactions that John sees across his business, the capital markets challenges in the current housing market, and the struggling interest rates and inventory relationship. The two also dive into somewhat of a niche topic — defects in loan quality.  And in light of their previous conversation, they revisit leadership strategies and how the best executives in housing can lead their organization to achieve great things even as they navigate tough housing cycles.
