Default service providers are busy this week touting their wares as mortgage servicers converge in Florida. Products being promoted include those that identify property association liability and platforms for the entire default loan process.
More than 150 exhibitors were registered for the Mortgage Bankers Association’s National Mortgage Servicing Conference & EXPO 2012 being held this week at the Orlando World Center Marriott.
Many of the exhibitors hope to entice mortgage servicing executives to utilize various services for defaulted loans.
Stewart Lender Services is exhibiting at the event. The Houston-based service provider said last week that its Rental Management Solutions now provides national property management services. The offering combines on-site presences through a local property manager with a national network platform.
“Rental Management Solutions is a win-win for all,” Stewart executive Ken Blevins said in the statement. “It addresses pending government programs, offers a compliant rental solution to expediently place qualified renters into vacant homes, helps to alleviate the overhead of managing vacant REO properties, and aids in restoring communities heavily hit by the mortgage crisis.”
Another exhibitor, CoreLogic, said Tuesday that it released DefaultView, a new default servicing platform to help servicers manage loans throughout the entire default cycle. The offering utilizes a “master-loan architecture” that promises a singular loan view and provides end users across a default enterprise with a complete transaction history.
“DefaultView opens pathways between previously disconnected servicing functions, allowing a dynamic exchange of information across multiple departments,” the Santa Ana, Calif.-based firm stated. “The platform offers nine modules that interconnect within its architecture to help provide a more efficient and transparent default servicing operation.”
Another MBA exhibitor, Sperlonga Data and Analytics, said Tuesday that it expanded a service that alerts mortgage firms when borrowers fall behind on their homeowners association dues.
