MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 30, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Secured Signing, a global leader in Digital Signature and Remote Online Notarization (RON) technology, recently sat down with industry innovators Tall Poppy Real Estate to discuss the successful, large-scale integration of the Secured Signing API into their core proprietary platform. By embedding high-security digital signatures directly into its internal workflows, Tall Poppy is effectively redefining the benchmarks for transparency, efficiency, and trust within the international real estate market.

In an industry where high-stakes financial transactions often rely on fragmented manual processes, Tall Poppy has moved to eliminate “friction” by automating the entire document lifecycle. This strategic shift ensures that listing agreements, vendor disclosures, and sale contracts are managed within a single, secure, and brand-consistent environment.

SOLVING GLOBAL FRICTION IN REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

Real estate markets worldwide face identical bottlenecks: sequential signing delays, human errors in document handling, and inconsistent user experiences across devices. Tall Poppy addressed these challenges by selecting Secured Signing as the engine behind its digital transformation. Renowned for its tamper-proof technology, Secured Signing ensures authenticity and integrity at every stage of the property transaction.

“We needed more than a standalone tool; we required a signing engine embedded directly into our workflow,” says Michael Graves of Tall Poppy Real Estate. “We throw a document at Secured Signing, define the parameters, and the API controls the journey from there. It ensures every stakeholder, whether vendor or purchaser, enjoys a seamless, professional experience.”

Key Innovations in the Tall Poppy Workflow:

• Parallel Signing Capabilities: Unlike traditional linear processes, multiple parties can now sign documents simultaneously. This significantly reduces the time-to-close in competitive, time-sensitive property markets.
• API-Driven Consistency: By utilizing the API, Tall Poppy standardizes signature formats across all mobile and desktop devices, ensuring legal validity and a polished professional output every time.
• Mobile-First Accessibility: Recognizing the global shift toward mobile commerce, the integration provides a frictionless experience for clients to sign documents on the go, without the need for printing, scanning, or specialized apps.

A PARTNERSHIP BUILT ON SECURITY AND SUPPORT

The decision to partner with Secured Signing was driven by the need for a “best-of-breed” solution that offers both high-level compliance and responsive technical support. This allows Tall Poppy to maintain a “pay-for-what-you-use” efficiency while delivering a secure environment that meets rigorous global standards for identity verification and document integrity.

“The integration allows us the flexibility to wrap our unique processes around a world-class signing solution,” Graves adds. “It ensures that the experience we offer to our vendors, buyers, and salespeople is not just modern, but the most secure available.”

“Working with the team at Tall Poppy Real Estate has been a standout example of what’s possible when two technology-forward organizations align,” said Mike Eyal, CEO of Secured Signing. “By integrating our API directly into their proprietary workflow, Tall Poppy hasn’t just improved speed, they’ve completely removed the friction from the document lifecycle. We are proud to provide the security and integrity that anchors their platform, and we look forward to continuing to set new standards for transparency in the real estate industry together.”

GULF BREEZE, Fla., April 30, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — What happens when silence protects the wrong person? That’s a core question at the heart of “Calling Out the Shadows: A Father’s Stand Against the Current” (ISBN: 979-8995335115). Written by Neal Winsomer, it’s scheduled for release on June 16, 2026 through Neal Winsomer Publishing LLC.

Image caption: Cover, “Calling out the Shadows” by Neal Winsomer.

“Calling Out the Shadows” is at once a memoir, a manual and a father’s story. It documents one man’s decision to respond to chaos with clarity, to meet secrecy with transparency and to choose love over anger for his daughter’s sake. The book chronicles 10 years of contested co-parenting across 999 documented hours of writing.

The narrative traces a contested divorce, denied access, communication shutdowns, rewritten histories and a former wife’s efforts to distance a father from his daughter. Through all of it, the author held to a moral, ethical and honorable standard.

This is not a self-help book that tells you what to do. It’s one man’s honest, subjective account of what he did, why it held up and how the framework behind it might apply to others. What readers take away is entirely theirs.

“What began as a letter to my daughter,” Winsomer says, “turned into a memoir and a practical guide, written for anyone who may relate or recognize pieces of their own story in it.”

It’s written directly to fathers, mothers, family members, family law professionals, therapists, co-parenting advocates and others working to bring a sensitive story forward with clarity and protection.

Its 10 appendices offer practical tools, including:

• 24 deflective and evasive communication patterns, identified and defined
• An A-to-Z behavioral reference list
• AI-supported court documentation frameworks
• Strategies for protecting, telling and publishing sensitive stories

A restricted language framework of 2,150 words and phrases was applied throughout — chosen for genuine voice, legal durability and platform compliance. Every word is the author’s own.

“The Skimmer’s Edition eBook” is a curated preview edition featuring the opening thought, closing thought, chapter headings and pull quote from each chapter. It’s designed for readers, media and professionals who want a meaningful first look at the book’s scope and structure.

NEW YORK, N.Y., April 29, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The award-winning documentary “Wolf’s Message” will begin streaming free on Tubi starting April 29, expanding its reach across international markets including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. Inspired by the best-selling book by acclaimed spiritual teacher and former U.S. Navy Commander Suzanne Giesemann, “Wolf’s Message” tells the extraordinary true story of Michael “Wolf” Pasakarnis – an artist who often said he walked between two worlds, and whose sudden death by lightning at age 29 left behind a series of deeply compelling and unexplained clues.

Image caption: “Wolf’s Message,” an award-winning documentary on spiritual consciousness, showcases its latest accolades on its updated promotional poster.

In the aftermath of his passing, Wolf’s parents, Mike and Beth Pasakarnis, discovered writings, drawings, and messages that appeared to foreshadow his death. Through Giesemann, they began receiving strikingly specific and evidential communications – offering what many believe is powerful proof that consciousness and connection continue beyond physical life.

Directed by filmmaker Jim Spruell, the film blends intimate interviews, real-life readings, and expert perspectives to explore enduring questions about consciousness, grief, and the continuity of love. The result is a deeply human story that challenges conventional thinking while offering a message of hope, healing, and spiritual awakening.

“This story is more than just a remarkable afterlife communication; it’s a call to awaken to a greater truth,” says Suzanne Giesemann. “Wolf’s presence continues to guide and uplift those who hear his message.”

“Wolf’s Message” premiered in April 2025 and has received multiple honors, including the Director’s Choice Award at the Illuminate Film Festival – widely recognized as a leading festival for conscious cinema – as well as the Diamond Award for Best Feature Documentary at the Mindfield LA Film Festival. The film also won “Best Spiritual/Mystical Film” and “Best True Story” at the prestigious World Film Festival in Cannes, highlighting innovative and inspiring storytelling on a global stage.

Now accessible to audiences worldwide via Tubi beginning April 29, “Wolf’s Message” brings its thought-provoking and emotionally resonant story to a broader audience than ever before.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT FROM JIM SPRUELL

I never met Wolf Pasakarnis, but he changed my life.

Through this documentary, I’ve walked where he walked, seen him through the eyes of those who loved him, and witnessed the deep, unwavering love of his parents. Suzanne Giesemann helped me understand Wolf’s magnificent spirit, and that journey has been life changing.

Suzanne’s own story—going from a no-nonsense Navy Commander to a respected evidential medium—is remarkable, and it’s part of this film.

Wolf was complex, often misunderstood, and struggled in this world because he was “tethered to the other side.” His story has transformed how I see life, death, and the afterlife. I hope it does the same for you.

Wolf would want you to know: Death is inevitable, but it is also a beautiful return home.

DES MOINES, Iowa, April 29, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — iEmergent, a forecasting and advisory services firm for the financial services, mortgage and real estate industries, has released its analysis of 2025 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data in Mortgage MarketSmart. Presented by iEmergent CEO Laird Nossuli, the findings point to a market that is regaining momentum after a prolonged downturn, with total volume increasing in 2025. That recovery, however, is uneven. Growth is being driven by refinancing activity and larger loan balances, while competitive gains remain concentrated among a relatively small group of lenders.

Image caption: iEmergent releases 2025 HMDA insights: volume rebounds, but the mortgage market grows more concentrated.

Top takeaways from 2025 HMDA data:

1. Refinance activity drove a disproportionate share of volume growth.
   S. lenders originated approximately 6.75 million loans totaling $2.12 trillion in 2025, up from $1.82 trillion in 2024. Refinances accounted for a disproportionate share of that growth, rising to $610.4 billion and representing 29% of total lending volume, compared to 22% the prior year. This shift indicates that recent volume gains are being fueled more by rate-driven activity than by underlying purchase demand.
2. IMBs extended their lead in both share and growth capture.
   Independent mortgage banks (IMBs) increased their share of originations to 57.8% in 2025, up from 55.8% in 2024, and accounted for 61.9% of total lending volume. Notably, they captured $193 billion of the market’s $303 billion year-over-year growth, far outpacing depository institutions. IMBs also dominated lender rankings, representing 18 of the top 25 institutions by both loan count and dollar volume.
3. Rising loan sizes continue to pressure affordability.
   Average loan sizes increased across both purchase and refinance segments, with purchase loans rising to $379,600 (from $368,100) and refinance loans to $311,200 (from $272,900). These increases align with persistent inventory constraints and elevated home prices, which are pushing borrowers toward higher balances and further limiting access for more price-sensitive buyers.
4. Denial rates edged down, but elevated fallout points to ongoing borrower friction.
   While denial rates declined modestly, overall application fallout remained high. Approximately 40% of applications from non-Hispanic White borrowers did not result in funded loans, while fallout exceeded 50% for Black, Native American/Alaskan and Pacific Islander applicants. Increased withdrawals and incomplete applications suggest that affordability constraints and valuation challenges are continuing to disrupt borrower progression through the origination process.
5. Market concentration remains high, with production concentrated among a small group of lenders.
   The top five lenders accounted for just over 20% of both loan count and total volume in 2025. More broadly, only 47 lenders—roughly 1% of all institutions—originated half of total mortgage volume. This concentration underscores a competitive environment in which scale and operational efficiency are increasingly determining market share outcomes.
6. Loan purpose mix varies significantly by geography, reinforcing the need for localized strategy.
   Purchase-driven markets in the Sun Belt, such as Houston (71% purchase) and Austin (68% purchase), stand in contrast to coastal markets like Los Angeles (40% refinance) and San Diego (38% refinance). These differences highlight the importance of market-specific strategy, as performance in purchase-heavy regions depends more on execution and affordability positioning than on cyclical refinance opportunities

“2025 HMDA data shows a market that is improving, but not uniformly,” said Nossuli. “Growth is being driven by specific products, borrower segments and geographies, while competitive gains are concentrated among lenders with the scale and strategy to capture them. Understanding where those opportunities exist is critical for lenders planning their next phase of growth.”

Lenders can now benchmark performance and identify growth opportunities
The integration of 2025 HMDA data into Mortgage MarketSmart allows lenders to benchmark their performance against peers across categories such as:

• Purchase and refi loan volume (units and dollars)
• Borrower race and ethnicity
• Loan type and size
• Borrower income levels
• Denial reasons by demographic group

With side-by-side comparisons of HMDA data, historical trends and forward-looking forecasts, Mortgage MarketSmart empowers lenders to identify gaps, meet Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) obligations and reach underserved markets.
