Tempo by UMortgage Adds New Features Driving Loan Officer Growth
PHILADELPHIA, June 19, 2025 — UMortgage’s proprietary sales performance and productivity platform, Tempo, is fueling the fastest growth in the mortgage industry by empowering loan originators to track their activities, build better habits, and convert consistent action into meaningful results.
"With Tempo, we’re focused on empowering our users to build strong relationships, expand their pipeline, and generate leads with daily sales activities and performance tracking," said Sean Grapevine, UMortgage VP of Product and Tempo project leader. "Our entire platform is designed around simplicity and accountability, ensuring that every action leads to meaningful results. We're making prospecting more engaging by introducing gamification and encouraging accountability with features like leaderboards and streak tracking." You can find Tempo's latest feature releases and enhancements here.
Take it from Troy Fjerkenstad, the first Tempo user to join the Tempo100 Club—an exclusive membership for users who achieve a 100-day streak in Tempo. Before Tempo became part of his daily routine in the mortgage industry, Troy found himself at a crossroads as he tried to navigate a consistently difficult real estate market.
“At the end of 2024, I sat down and contemplated whether the mortgage business was what I was meant to do.” With encouragement from his wife and support from his mentors at UMortgage, he doubled down and used Tempo as the framework to keep him accountable. “Today, I hit my 100-day Tempo streak. I love what I do, and I’m just getting started.”
Mortgage industry vets are taking advantage of Tempo and seeing the results for themselves. Adam Stempin, Loan Originator, celebrated his best month in the mortgage industry earlier this year, thanks to sales activity tracking.
May marked Stempin’s best month; with prospecting activities up 63% from the previous month, which led to 84% more loans closed. For him, the driving force behind this growth was simple: track the work, stay consistent, and get uncomfortable.
“The more intentional I’ve been, the better the results. There’s a direct correlation between daily activities and closed business. Who would have guessed the number guy would be right?” he laughed. “Track your numbers. Do the work. And watch what happens.”
And while Tempo is a great tool to improve business for Loan Originators, it can also help top performers stay accountable and consistent. Take Ben Bell, UMortgageBranch Manager and Scotsman Guide TopLoan Originator, for example. After reaching his 100-day Tempo streak, Ben shared, “Discipline isn’t about being perfect. It’s about showing up, tracking the work, and holding yourself accountable — especially when no one’s watching.”
These stories aren’t anomalies—they’re the result of a system built to inspire daily accountability and measurable progress. Tempo is helping loan officers push past uncertainty, set personal records, and turn activity into outcomes.
Just as its users grow, Tempo continues to grow too. Over the past month, Tempo has undergone a series of impactful updates to improve usability, expand customization, and make real-time progress tracking even more intuitive.
That’s just the start: some big things are coming soon to Tempo later this year. If you’re a mortgage professional who wants to grow your business with Tempo, sign up for UMortgage’s Loan Originators Powered by UMortgage call to learn more about the software and how you can get exclusive access.
