Real Estate Credit
Real estate credit companies originate, underwrite, process and service mortgage loans for residential and commercial properties. The specialists turn loan inquiries into application packages, applications into underwriting checklists and funding conditions, and closed loans into servicing schedules, escrow monitoring and investor reports. Rate locks, appraisal ordering, title work, compliance reviews and borrower communication stay with licensed staff.
What makes this business different

- Appraisal, title, flood and insurance ordering that must be coordinated with multiple third-party vendors
- Underwriting conditions that require specific supporting documentation before funding

- Investor delivery, servicing transfer and mortgage-backed security reporting deadlines
