Thanks Blake. A lot of great things to discuss today. I first want to start the call by thanking the 6000 plus broker partners who were able to join us for UWM LIVE last week which was an amazing event. Also think a lot of analysts and investors, we’re able to come out and make it, I enjoy spending time with you and fielding to great questions over the couple of days we had together.

UWM LIVE is and amazing event that allows you to see and feel the growth momentum of the broker channel in one room. All those loan officers, broker owners even real estate agents flew out to Pontiac, Michigan on their own dime to get better share ideas for success and try to win together as a team.

This is what makes UWM in the brokerage shell different because we can work together as a team. And are excited about the growth together. Hopefully everyone attends was able to see for themselves. The combination of our culture, the amazing relationships we have, with our broker partners uniquely positions us for growth and success is one of the main ingredients to our secret sauce here at UWM.
