Plaza News + Updates

As you’ve probably noticed, we have been making significant enhancements to the Plaza Home Mortgage^® BREEZE system lately as we continue ongoing work to provide a fast, modern and easy-to-use experience throughout the entire loan process.

What’s New Now

The Loan Conditions and Quick Pricer screens have been redesigned. Note that the functionality of these screens remains the same. But they have a new look and feel, making them easier to navigate and process your loan information.

Key Changes:

As part of our ongoing work to enhance the performance and security of the Plaza Home Mortgage^® systems, we are making a final change to the public IP addresses for the BREEZE and LINQ systems on March 1, 2023.

Most of our clients will not be affected; however, those with firewall rules that require destination IP addresses to be safelisted will need to take action before March 1.

Please share this information with your IT personnel if it may impact your company.

We have added a second range of IP addresses and they will need to be added to your safelist. 

Here’s a friendly reminder that Plaza Home Mortgage^® waives Fannie Mae^® and Freddie Mac LLPAs on eligible First Time Homebuyer loans, Freddie Mac’s CHOICERenovation and eligible manufactured loans based on Area Median Income (AMI) creating more opportunities to help your borrowers. And BREEZE will automatically apply the waiver to the eligible loans.

Here’s how it works:

We were working hard over the weekend at Plaza Home Mortgage^® and now the enhanced AUS Access screen in BREEZE is ready for you!

We've simplified the way you run an AUS, and now the AUS Access screen gives you one place to run both DU^® and LPA^®.

Watch our short video to see how the new AUS Access screen in BREEZE saves you time by letting you run and compare both DU^® and LPA^® at the same time, side-by-side on a single screen!

Introducing the AUS Access screen in BREEZE

With the new AUS Access screen in Plaza's BREEZE system, you can run DU^® and LPA^® at the same time and instantly generate a side-by-side comparison, allowing you to quickly evaluate the findings and determine what’s best for your borrower. Of course, you can still run DU and LPA separately if you prefer.
