Vontive

Although steep rises in home prices have closed the market to many, those who own property have seen attractive returns, and investors have turned their attention to the property sector. But despite this alluring opportunity, they could be deterred by the outdated processes associated with property investment. Votive’s platform upgrades mortgage lenders with new tech to streamline their operations, and allow their customers easier access into investment real estate.

• Take Initiative: When we see that something is not working, we should feel empowered to experiment, build and solve problems proactively.
• Assume Best Intent: We believe that our peers are working to the best of their ability with the resources and information they have at their disposal.
• Feedback: A culture of compassionate feedback results in a culture of growth. Whether it’s coming from our customers or our colleagues, we listen, empathize, and act quickly.
• Drive Clarity: Clear expectations help align the team on desired outcomes and avoid confusion. We don’t assume everybody has the necessary context or knowledge to act. We strive to proactively push information and encourage others to ask questions.
• Strive for Simplicity: Simpler things are easier to digest and work with. When taking on problems, we always ask ourselves if they can be broken down further. By tackling one thing at a time, we’re able to produce a cleaner product, avoid distractions and deliver desired outcomes.
• Build Two Way Doors: We solve our problems by committing to easily reversible solutions allowing for quick experimentation and iteration if need be.
