Every great company starts with a spark⚡
For WFG, that spark came from Founder Pat Stone, who saw what others overlooked: a fragmented real estate industry where independent companies operated in silos, slowing the process and confusing the consumer.

But where others saw inefficiency, Pat saw opportunity — the opportunity to take time and cost out of the transaction, create clarity, and deliver a better experience for everyone involved.💡

That vision took shape over a simple napkin sketch 📝 during a lunch meeting.

• A more integrated approach 🔗
• A streamlined process ⚙️
• Lower costs 💲
• Greater transparency for consumers 👁️

What began as an idea sketched on paper became the foundation for WFG — a company built to reimagine the closing experience from end-to-end.

Today, Pat’s spark lives on in every product, service, and innovation we bring to market 🚀

🔒 Cybersecurity is no longer a back-office function — it’s mission-critical for the entire mortgage and real estate ecosystem.

That’s why the WFG Family of Companies strongly supports the shift outlined by our CISO, Bruce Phillips, in his new HousingWire article: “From resilience to antifragility: Rethinking cybersecurity for real estate and mortgage professionals.”

Instead of simply recovering from cyber threats, Bruce explains why the industry must adopt antifragility — becoming stronger, smarter, and more secure because of every attempted attack. Each threat isn’t just something to block; it’s an opportunity to learn, adapt, and fortify our defenses.

🛡️ Every phishing email stopped
💸 Every wire-fraud attempt foiled
📊 Every close call analyzed

Each one becomes actionable intelligence that makes the entire industry better. If you're in real estate or mortgage lending, this perspective is essential reading.

👉 Read the full article: https://www.housingwire.com/articles/from-resilience-to-antifragility-rethinking-cybersecurity-for-real-estate-and-mortgage-professionals/

As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, resilience isn’t enough. Real estate and mortgage professionals must adopt antifragile cybersecurity models that learn from every incident and emerge stronger with each challenge.

🏆 A Career Built on Purpose and Leadership 🏆

A career that begins in a small Oregon title office doesn’t usually lead to steering one of the nation’s largest title companies — but Pat Stone’s did. 🏢

After rising through the industry and leading a company with over 30% market share, Pat stepped away. What he found was that you can leave the industry, but the industry doesn’t leave you.

💬 The meaningful interactions.
🏡 The ability to impact people at incredibly important moments.
✨ The sense of purpose that comes from helping someone secure a home.

Those are the reasons Pat returned — and why WFG was ultimately born.
