Simply Compliant wasn’t created by software developers trying to learn the mortgage industry.
It was built by mortgage professionals who spent decades living it.
Founder Katie Stevens has more than 30 years of mortgage industry experience, including 13 years at United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM), where she most recently served as Executive Vice President and Chief Risk Officer.
In that role, Katie led the teams responsible for protecting the nation’s largest mortgage lender, overseeing:
She knows exactly what regulators expect because she helped build the systems designed to withstand regulatory examinations every day.
But Katie’s perspective didn’t begin in a corporate boardroom.
Before leading risk and compliance for one of the largest lenders in the country, she was an independent mortgage broker.
She understands the reality of running a brokerage – balancing production, managing employees, serving borrowers, and trying to keep up with an ever-changing regulatory environment without the resources of a large institution.
That experience revealed a problem.
Independent mortgage companies are expected to meet many of the same compliance expectations as billion-dollar lenders, yet they’re often left without the tools, training, or documentation needed to do it efficiently.
That’s why Simply Compliant was created.
Our mission is simple:
Give every independent mortgage brokerage access to the same caliber of compliance training, employee education, and audit-ready documentation used by the industry’s largest lenders – without the cost or complexity of building an internal compliance department.
We believe compliance shouldn’t be overwhelming.
It should be organized.
Documented.
Consistent.
And easy to manage.
That’s exactly what Simply Compliant delivers.
Whether you’re preparing for your first examination or simply trying to build a stronger compliance culture, our platform helps you protect your brokerage, your employees, and everything you’ve worked so hard to build.
After decades in mortgage lending, one thing became clear.
Most broker owners aren’t trying to cut corners.
They’re trying to keep up.
They wear every hat – owner, manager, recruiter, salesperson, operations leader – and compliance often becomes one more responsibility competing for their attention.
The problem isn’t a lack of commitment.
It’s a lack of practical tools built specifically for independent mortgage brokerages.
Simply Compliant exists to change that.
